Poll on the way…
Why did you put in a “None of them” option? Either FSU or Clemson is going down.
(Just trying to save someone the humiliation of taking that option.)
Also, it looks like a week of great match-ups and potentially great games!

Good catch! It was a reflex action from last week, I guess. If anybody picks that option, I’ll disregard it. Too bad people will see the poll before this post.
Crap, crap, crap! I meant to pick UCLA, too! There’s no way I can fix that, is there?

When I build the scoring array, I’ll add UCLA to your choices. Will that work for you?
That’ll work just fine. Thank you. Also, I hope you don’t mind that I’ve been keeping a running point total for these things. If you keep doing the polls and the arrays, I’ll add everything up at the end of each week. Who knows? If you stick with this all season, Zeldar , I may chip in for a prize for the winner at the end. Here’s how we stand right now:
Cumulative scoring. No penalties for incorrect picks, 1pt awarded for each correct pick.
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

That sounds fun, and I don’t mind at all. It’s a good addition. Thanks!

Here’s a first look at the voting. Note the () marks for armedmonkey as per post #5 .
As R. P. McMurphy pointed out in Post #2 , NONE is an invalid option (sorry, my bad). If you didn’t/don’t pick either FSU or Clemson to be going down, you may post to that effect and I’ll fix the array for your late vote.

I’m not at all in this for the points, the glory or the fame, but I did want to be on record as knowing that Clemson was gonna lose to my 'Noles.
I picked Florida State and UCLA. Gave serious consideration to LSU and Auburn, but decided not to pull the trigger.

This week… I say UCF takes down Louisville, meaning Teddy Bridgewater drops a few slots in the draft and loses a few million dollars.

Shoot, that was final? SIlly of me not to notice that either CLemson or Florida State HAS to lose.
I say Florida State loses, as well as Louisville. (And that Texas throws a pile of money at Dabo Swinney one day soon.)

I’ve added FSU to your choices. No harm done.
Anybody else want a fix?
I predict Louisville loses this week.
