> [@Oakminster](#): > > I’ll make my picks later, but Rivalry Week is awesome. Indeed! Makes the search this past weekend for something decent to watch pale by comparison. Some fur’s gonna fly this week! 🙂 My main hope is that it will blow up the Committee’s best laid plans! I’d love it if they have to start from scratch. ---

I like that there’s 5 games with ranked teams playing each other. Best way for the season to end. That said, while I voted for my Jackets, I think it will be a close game in Athens. ---

Going out on a limb on the **must picks** by selecting the lower-ranked teams to lose. For the Utah State-Boise State game, I have to go with Utah State because Boise isn’t a **state**. ---
