I have been seriously slacking with my weekly picks commentary. And, of course, that's the reason my record has taken a serious dip. Not going to be able to make fun of anyone or anything this week either. Maybe next week, I hope.

Here's the quick picks. Be like my old buddy Opposite Guy if you're looking to move quickly up the standings. He's participated twice this season, and won both times. He's like a contestant on The Price is Right. I assume he scans my picks on any given week, can see they clearly suck, and bids $1 by simply picking the exact opposite. Maybe I should stick to Plinko.

Game 1: CLEMSON (-3.5) over North Carolina State
Game 2: SYRACUSE (-6) over Louisville
Game 3: Baylor (+7.5) over OKLAHOMA STATE
Game 4: Arkansas (+4) over SOUTH CAROLINA
Game 5: Oklahoma (-3) over TEXAS A&M
Game 6: Arizona (+9.5) over STANFORD
Game 7: Texas Christian (-5) over UTAH
Game 8: TEXAS TECH (+4) over Missouri
Game 9: Alabama (-6.5) over LOUISIANA STATE
Game 10: SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (-5.5) over Arizona State
Game 11: Yale (-1.5) over BROWN

There you have it. Because UConn is playing Pitt on Thursday, the weekly Tuesday media luncheon has been moved up to Sunday, so check back then for the notes.

And be sure to have your pets spayed or neutered.
