It’s been a jewel of a week for sure. Unless Ole Miss works a miracle, it looks like the 1/1 by **LuckyNumber85** may do the trick.

It seems like we are finally into the meat of the schedule. For the most part the cupcakes have been eaten and we are into a lot of conference play. Games are not as dire as the end of the season but a win or a loss at this stage can have a huge impact. An invitation to a bowl, the quality of the bowl and the dream of playing for an NC can rise or disappear at this point. Sometimes, at this point teams that have limited aspirations can get a lot of motivation in being spoilers. I think the Penn State/UM game was good example. That was wild!

Love this time of the season!

After we (Washington) played Stanford, it made me think Stanford was over ranked, it wasn’t just a fluke that we were in that game. But at the same time, I knew Washington wouldn’t be able to handle Oregon (I predicted Oregon wins by 21), meaning that Stanford seems closer to Washington than Oregon this year. If Stanford beats Oregon I will be very surprised.

And Utah has been improved on both sides of the ball. I didn’t expect Utah to win, but I had adjusted my thinking on Stanford and wasn’t surprised when I saw it was close.

24-24 early in the 4th quarter. Anything can happen in the SEC!

No miracle in Oxford. A&M won with a FG as time expired. Ugly looking injury to an Ole Miss defender…think it was Bryant. He gave the thumbs up as he was carted off, so maybe it looked worse than it was.

After three weeks, here’s the cumulative points. No penalties for incorrect picks, 1pt awarded for each correct pick. Not a whole lot of change, obviously, because first time contestant **LuckyNumber85** was the only player to score a point.

2pts: **Labrador Deceiver, oakminster, Oredigger77**

1pt: \*\*armedmonkey, astorian, Fred Garvin, janeslogin, jsc1953, LuckyNumber85, Wolverine, Zakalwe \*\*

Goose egg! **basset hound, Chargerrich, death of rats, Duckster, furt, Johnny Bravo, Munch, NicorGasMan, racer72, Rucksinator, skammer, Tazmanian Devil, The Universe Lashes Out, Zeldar**

Wow, I’m a long time Dope reader, but never really posted. Just wandered in to this thread because it concerned a team near 'n dear to my heart. Turns out I won a point in a game I didn’t even really realize was going on.

I’m not sure I’ll be able to pull for Missouri to pull the top 10 upsets next week or two though. We will see.

I think Florida State had a “seminal” moment last night at Clemson.
