We here at the alligatorSports Brand Picks Column have done our best to predict this week’s game, but believe us, bad games aren’t any easier to project.

Meyer, Spurrier not to be compared
Nov. 15, 2009COLUMBIA, S.C. — It has been almost five full seasons since Steve Spurrier took over as South Carolina’s coach, but as I watched his post-game press conference on the video screen at Williams-Brice Stadium, it still felt unnatural.

Nov. 12, 2009We’re nearing the home stretch of this year’s picks column, and maybe picking against the spread wasn’t such a good idea.

This year’s UF-UGA game won’t be worth remembering
Oct. 29, 2009If you're a senior like me (I would technically classify myself as a redshirt junior, but that's besides the point), and you spent the last three Florida-Georgia games getting wasted at the Landing or in the parking lot of Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, I feel sorry for you.

Picks Column: Georgia
Oct. 29, 2009We're eight weeks in, and it seems the cream is already rising to the top. We invited five "real" writers to participate in the alligatorSports Brand Picks Column for the first time this fall, and so far, the only thing they are "real" good at seems to be losing. Four of the top five places are held by alligatorSports guys with Phil Kegler being the lone Alligator guy in the bottom five. We're sure it'll only be a couple more weeks before we bask in our complete dominance. Anyway, now let's debate a top-10 showdown that will likely determine the Pacific-10 Conference.
