The funniest thing about the KSU wrong way return was the two Towson players who tackled him. 
Except that the S. Carolina / Vandy game wasn’t on the list. That was both an SEC matchup and a top-10 (USC at #9)
:dubious:
I think that is because it was a Thursday game…otherwise, I got nothing…
I’m currently in third with 300 points, behind Vol in Texas (313) and Wolverine (310), with two games undecided.
Accidental Martyr apparently failed to assign confidence points to his picks, and has a score of 0 for the week. That’s recoverable, as the lowest weekly score is dropped for standings purposes.
Don’t forget to pick the Monday night game if you haven’t already…
There are 26 games to pick for Week 2. I’ve got two Upset Specials this week:
Florida on the road over Texas A&M
UTEP on the road over Ole Miss
I’m also calling Miss State over Auburn, but Yahoo says they’re favored at home, so it doesn’t count as an upset.
According to Yahoo, Arkansas is favored over Alabama.
Arkansas, who just lost to UL-Monroe.
And 0-2 Pittsburgh (loser to Youngstown State!) is favored over Va Tech.
:dubious:
Oh, wait. For some reason all the home teams are listed as favorites, regardless.
:dubious: :dubious:
As a Public service, (mainly to me), here is a direct link to the picks
Divemaster I am not sure how well integrated the spreads are to the games. at least at the beginning of the week.
OAK, I made my picks w/o the upset special. I might be pissing in the wind.
Sorry, forgot to post the Upset Special earlier. I’m calling Navy on the road over Penn State this week.
And for Week 4, your official Upset Special is…
LA-Monroe at home over Baylor
I’ve got Arizona over Oregon as my upset. Also, Michigan over Notre Dame.
According to Yahoo, Arizona State is the underdog at Cal, so there’s the official Upset Special for the week…
Ack. A dagger in my heart.
(OK, I picked the Bears but I didn’t put a lot of points on them)
Bear in mind that my designating an Upset Special usually guarantees a big win for the team I picked to lose.
Big weekend for college football this week. Your official Upset Special is (11) Texas at home over (8) W. VA…
Lots of interesting matchups this weekend!
And then there’s LA-Monroe and Middle Tenn St. Which is on our list because…?
Just a guess, but could it be the spoiler role both those teams have played this season?
Since Oak hasn’t given us his upset special.
Allow me.
TENNESSEE over Mississippi State
Sorry Oak,
BTW, everyone has a pretty piss poor week last weekend.
Everyone who has played every week, dropped last weeks results.
dalej42, you made your picks (last weekend) but you did not (or didn’t save) the confidence points.
Accidental Martyr must have thought it was an off week, because Bama didn’t play, but realized it very late to make to late picks.
Here is the top 7 after week 6:
1 Wolverine 1374 154 92-34
2 Oakminster 1361 162 97-29
3 Vol in Texas 1346 171 96-30
4 RamblinWreck 1322 182 90-36
5 Beasley(Zeldar) 1309 136 89-37
6 Purple Passion 1308 155 85-41
7 RollOnYouBears 1297 186 88-38
I find it ironic, or significant, or whatever, that the only week I won is also my worst week. So I sucked, but I sucked least of any of y’all.
Yes Timing is important in this pool.
But this week might count after week 14. Week 14 is a light week, as the SEC, ACC, PAC 12, and Big 12 all have only Conference Championship games.
Wolverine is going to be vulnerable to losing ground that week as he only had 154 points last week.
Given the likelihood that week 14 is going to be the week dropped by everyone who plays everyweek, this is probably what we are looking at:
1 . 1528…Wolverine
2 . 1523 …Oakminster
3 . 1517…Vol in Texas
4 . 1504…RamblinWreck
5 . 1483 …RollOnYouBears
6 . 1463…Purple Passion
7 . 1445…Beasley
A little closer.
