Kind of implied, but Corso also picked Utah to win the PAC, everyone else had Oregon and Washington. Herbie said he likes Herm Edwards, hence the support for ASU.
I don’t watch ESPN other than games or gamesday, but one of the analysts on sports center before gameday has Utah as a sleeper pick.
Who knows if any of this is truly realistic. But for today, with no Utah game, I’ll take Corso up on a round.
The best part about being a sleeper pick?
No expectations.
That’s right – if we DON’T make it to the playoff, people won’t mock or be upset, because we weren’t supposed to make it. A sleeper pick is kind of like hedging a bit, just in case – and if we DO get there, they all get to say “see? I told ya”.
Doesn’t matter to the team, shouldn’t matter to anyone else.
Rose Bowl, baby. Rose Bowl.
Oh, and Lee Corso makes a living out of inciting controversy. Just like all of the other talking heads in the media. Par for the course.
