Mililani's Glenn Oshiro, a University of Hawai'i graduate and Warrior fan, said he had to fight his "emotions" when deciding to pick Boise State to beat UH on his Pigskin Picks ballot.

"I feel bad ... but not that bad," said Oshiro, who won the weekly Pigskin Picks prize of a trip for two to Las Vegas and $500.

Oshiro correctly picked the winners of all 15 games and then won two tiebreakers.

Oshiro's total yardage differential (his guess vs. actual yardage of the UH-Boise State game) was just five yards.

But that just tied him with a handful of others who had 15-0 ballots with five yards differential. His name was picked randomly.

"Wow! Oh, man, I'm happy, excited," he said after learning of his good fortune.

When asked about his strategy for picking, Oshiro said "there's no such thing. Kind of like guess. Even though the favorites might be favorites, you get upsets. So it's part guess, part notion."

One of the upsets was the St. Louis Rams beating the once-mighty Dallas Cowboys, who played without injured quarterback Tony Romo.

"Because of the Romo injury, I thought the defense could rattle the backup QB," he said. "Plus, they (Rams) have (former UH linebacker Pisa) Tinoisamoa on the team, so why not?"
