I saw that last night.  We may have to go with the Thursday and Friday games this week.  If so, we need to decide today and I will try to get them posted tonight so people will have time to enter their picks.

My 2 cents.

I like 2Stater's picks.

Me too.

Post em Coach!

Post them up. I can't do any worse.

Me 3.

Good job in the picks. RTR!

I am posting these now.  Sorry I didn't make it back on here last night to get these posted.

The games are posted.

Don't forget to put your picks in before tomorrow night.  Only about half of our normal number of entries have been posted so far.

:-X

Only about 8 more hours to get your picks in.  We are still missing about 10 guys.  If you don't get them in on time you should still be able to enter picks for the other 9 games.

 ???  I'm thinking I shoulda skipped this first one and waited till later to enter my picks  :-\

It worked out in the end.

Yep, It went like the rest of my looooonnnggg day yesterday...started bad but ended well  ;)

Thanks for nothing chOkie kicker.

FSU, who feels they are not respected, is not gonna cover against a 6 loss GT honest to goodness wreck? Please.

Crazy games. No one did any real damage with their picks. Nice job BC for finishing at the top this week.

this weeks picks ?

I feel like I just played Alabama in the SEC Championship game and
caught a tipped pass as time ran out to lose the game ...

OH WAIT !   :lol:



congrats to everyone on a very tough pick em' week   :wall:

This one was a slugfest indeed.  Congratulations to the winners.

It is not often that 6-3 wins and 5-4 fills out the leader board.  I will double check the scores in a little bit and finalize the results.

And yet you are still the overall leader.  :lol:

ROLL TIDE COACH !

Two weeks this year at the top. Wow, what a year I had! Can't wait til next year! Thanks to all those who made this possible. If I left out anybody I apologize. :jump:

don't forget bowl picks.

Looking at some of those bowls I'll confess that I didn't know half those schools had football teams. My picks will be very "organic" (that's fancy talk for guessing).

You could still win the whole thing.  You are within striking distance and a lot of ground can be made up with the bowl picks.

I won't have to suggest games, since there are 35 bowl games, we can do 3 groups of 10 and eliminate 5 games.  One game I would vote to eliminate would be the Idaho Potato Bowl because it is on the blue turf.

Who in the world come up with a Idaho Tater Bowl? lol, Congrats to all the winners and if you play the how weeks you are a winner. It has been fun and an honor to pick with you all. RTR!

Well I got my ballot in for this week. I thought I took time to get this right being end of the season. RTR!

Last year we decided to pick all 35 bowl games in one big round.  I figure we will do that again this year.

Coach, can I respectfully submit an alternative plan? Since some of these bowl teams are virtually unknown to us, and we'd all just be guessing our picks (humor me that there is more to it than guessing during the regular season), maybe we should cull out the truly meaningless and uninteresting games. Below is a list of 15 games, which, added to the 5 BCS bowls, would make an even 20. That's the equivalent of two reg season weeks, and the picking might actually involve some skill/knowledge.

What do y'all think?

Sounds good to me.

Having a little something riding on a game, even a minor bowl game, makes it a little more interesting to watch.

I think we need to pick all 35 bowl games. Unless Bama basketball is on I will be watching the games anyway.

Either way is good with me. Both ways sound fun. I do agree there will be a lot of missing from the knowledge, but the research should be fun. RTR!

I need all 35 games. I have a lot of ground to make up.  :(

 :-[ Ditto  :-\

 :popcorn2:

The barn door is closed, and that cow is long gone.

Maybe we can consider the bowl picks as a separate competition?  (So I can lose all over again.)

I say one round pick all 35.

I guess we are not picking between Army/Navy this week. For the record I am picking Navy.

Navy (-7) seems to be the pick. The O/U is set at 56.5.

BTW, the ESPN awards show is tonight, 6:30CT.

I third that motion, and the sentiment.  :wall:

Seems to me like we are all chasing the 4 at the top, kind of reminds me of a dog chasing a grown man and snapping at his heels., all along hoping he don't turnaround and kick him! :)...but, it has been fun!

Well, I made my picks this morning. Picking 1-15 was about like junior league Canadian hockey games. Had no idea.
