**Multiple choice poll on the way… **

=====================================================================

Pretty sure Miss State/Auburn is the 2:30 game. ESPN Gameday is going to be in Starkville this week. TAM/Ole Miss and Arkansas/Alabama are also on my must watch list. I’ll make my picks later in the week…

I don’t know why I keep picking games. I’m doing awful this year. Just in it for the money I guess.

Preach it, my man! New house, kids, new car, boat, all that stuff – got to wait!

Well, if I can ever get any predictions right, Ole Miss will be the number 1 team next week :smiley:

Would that be cool! How long ago did that happen?

Here’s the situation after 5:

lol, it wont’. I am a very bad picker :slight_smile: I’m just having fun and learning to enjoy football. Two years ago was the first year I actually tried to keep up and this is the first year I’ve tried to do any of the competitions.

Well, obviously. :wink: I mean, Syracuse? Really? I actually argued today (in all seriousness) that whether the docs clear him or not, we (FSU) should sit Rashad Greene (FSU’s by far #1 receiver) for this game to ensure that he’s available for Notre Dame next week.

I’m going with Auburn (Hail State!), TAM (Hotty Toddy!), Missouri (Go Other Bulldogs!), TCU (Baylor is not in SEC, dunno their cheer thingy), and Oregon (got to pick somebody, so Go Other Pac 12 team!)

Yeah, I just finished reading how Appalachian State upset Michigan, and I figured I’d hope for another miracle game like that one =D

From your lips to God’s ear! Appy State smashing Meechigan was a once-in-a-lifetime thrill. Maybe a twice-in-a-lifetime could happen. Let’s just hope for another crazy Saturday no matter who has to pay for it.

At least the head-to-head games have no runaway favorites at this point. TCU beating Baylor will be the big one, it looks like.

See Who takes The College Football Belt away from TCU? for how big a bummer that may be for some!

I guess Oredigger77 is just hedging his bets on this one :smiley:

Nice catch! Must be some coin involved. :slight_smile:

Hey Zeldar, can you add Baylor to my votes? I missed that matchup when I was selecting.

Sho nuff. :slight_smile:

Just a reminder: this poll will close tomorrow afternoon because of a Top 25 game tomorrow night. Still time to pick some LOSERS!

We’ve hit our “quota” already so the more the merrier. :slight_smile:

Hmmm…pondering switching my vote in the Missouri/Georgia game in light of Gurley being suspended indefinitely by the NCAA

And now, having pondered it, I wish to officially change my pick to Georgia as the loser to Missouri, please.

Will do.
