E-cred to CP for whippin' this out.  #+

 :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wow 13 voters that is good. Hope we can stay or improve on that number this year. Well done to all. RTR!

Voted.

What's the fascination with Nebraska?

TCU MN is gonna to be an infinitely more informative and entertaining game IMHO

Hard to pick 3 Thursday games, especially considering those folks who tend to vote late... I initially was going to vote for the TCU game but thought better of it because (a) it would give us 3 Thursday games, which is unprecedented, and (b) I'm not convinced that Minnesota can give TCU a game.  The line is 14. The BYU Nebraska line is 6 points.

I do think TCU game could be more interesting than Stanford Northwestern (these games were tied on votes last I looked), but that game is the only decent game on Saturday morning.  

Should be a good game. I'm not interested in blow out type games.


 :dunno:

I voted for BYU, not NB.

Milwaukee knows.

Talking about blowouts.

Spurrier puts 40+ on cheeze and the Heels.  Maybe 60.

Gophers.

3 most interesting games:

Texas/Notre Dame
Louisville/Auburn
Arizona St./Texas A&M

I would add OSU v. VaTech to that list.

VaTech wins again. 

I just don't see Va. Tech beating OSU this year. OSU wants revenge, they have 2 top QB's ready to go, unlike last year, and I  see some real payback from OSU. I wish you were right, though.

I'll  second that!    #+

Those are interesting games #2-5.  Even ESPN knows Bama v. Wisconsin is the best opening game of 2015.

I don't think VATech can pull off another win v. OSU.  Meyer is like Saban in some ways -- very competitive, hates to lose, gets his revenge.  OSU will be ready for this game.

The shocking thing is that this is probably the second hardest game on OSU's regular schedule, after MichSt in the horseshoe.  And they'll probably play Wisconsin in the Big10 Championship Game. By contrast, I don't think Wisconsin is even in Bama's top 5 toughest games. 

Yep, this has been pointed out by Finebaum & others, so it means OSU can almost breeze into the playoff. Their SOS will be a joke. Welcome to the "mighty" Big Ten.



 :eyeroll:


 

Voted. Can't wait to blow all my picks!

I'm in. I voted.

 :lol: :lol: :lol:, hey Phil you gonna have to be awfully good to get lower than me. I am the foundation of the totem pole.  :lol2: :clap:, RTR!

I'm in

Great turnout with 19 voters.



 :clap: :clap: :clap:

This is good to start the year off but I hope everybody will come back and play and vote every week. It will make for a fun season. Good to see some of our old time friends back. RTR!

Let the games begin!

The games are posted.

 :clap:Roll TIDE!    #+

Sorry I can't participate.  I'm presently suffering from a bad case of abulia.

Try the little blue pill.

I've ordered the crimson ones.

As Julius Caesar used to say, "Volvere aestus volvere!"  (He was way ahead of his time.)

:lol2:

"Aestus Martias caveret!"  The soothsayer foresaw the arrival of Coach Avery Johnson.

Awesome!   :clap:

Glad to see you got the memo.   :lol2:

I'm ready!!!!!!!!!!

Who added pubic hair to that dog??
:yuck:

15 so far!

18

20

 :tinfoil:

 ???  18

Where's XBAMA?  :dunno:

Good question.  He should be here by now.

You're right. I haven't seen him post for a while.

... Red Elephant needs to post picks.

And where's Smitty??

Red Elephant has posted his picks!!  Wooooooooot.

 :tinfoil:

where is Peewee?

... and Smitty?

As Yogi Berra said, "It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future."

I posted, but really don't have a clue this early  :dunno:...  I always picked with my heart and learned not to bet of college ball years ago.  But, this looks like fun!

15 minutes until SEC kickoff!!!!!  The long wait is OVER!!!!!!!!!!

RTR

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT, Bro!

Well, what do you know.  The newcomer Bamarae is on top of the leaderboard after the 1st game.

Good news, SC. You and I won't be shut out this year.  8)

:lol: #+

2-0 now.  Impressive.  :clap:

0-2...Just like old times.  It's football season!

I was at the bottom after the USCe-UNC game.  I fell for the QB Marquise Williams hype.  He was turrible!

You called it.  A 6 point game.  Bama might move up to #2 with a waxing of Wisconsin -- even a victory should be enough, as they are a better Big10 team than Minnesota.   :worship:  :clap:

Not too impressed with TCU.

The game I didn't vote for is tonight, Washington Boise State on the Smurf Turf.  I know virtually nothing about either team, I can't stand that blue turf, and why is the spread so high?

Thank you guys!! Looking forward to a fun season...

Let me be the first to give you an ecred for a great start.   :worship: :clap:

The true test starts tonight; picks getting tough.   :stars:

Another e-cred for the quick start.
Let's hope Coker does as well!!

ecreds to Red Elephant and ricky for starting 2-1.   :clap:

ricky is no longer the base of the totem pole, nor an opposite pick reference.   :lol2:

3-0 now.

 :o

Bamarae should be banned.  Unfair advantage!!

 :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

4-0 now.  :clap:

Judas Priest!!

Yeah, looks like I brought in a ringer.   :lol2:


(http://www.invisibleoranges.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Judas-Priest-Photo-10-e1385519358676.jpg)

I noticed you copied her picks.   :-\   :lol2:  :lol2:

I'm no fool.   :angel:

Really just a coincidence, though we think alike.  Looks like we split picks on the Ohio State game.

She the one on the right??

That's Judas Priest.   :lol2:

I didn't want to start a new thread on this since there is not really a story, but I saw on the Ravens official site that Nick Perry was one of the casualties of roster cuts today.

JUDAS PRIEST!!   :wall: :wall: :wall:

 :lol: :lol: :lol:

UCLA ahead by 18 and running out the clock.   :wall: :wall:

Could it be 7-0?   ;D

May a large crab pinch off your toe!

6-0 already and that is very impressive.

I was eyeing the BYU game.  BYU was down by one point with the clock running out, so the BYU pick was already good.  But then BYU hits a Hail Mary with one second left to win the game.   :lol2:

I am no longer picking any Saturday games. So once again, Auburn serves up the double death: (a) the win, but (b) fail to cover.

 >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Pick Auburn at your own peril.   :lol2:

One of you is guaranteed at least 8-2, which is good for at least a tie of first place.  :clap:

2 toes!!

I'm thinking maybe we both go 9-0, and that Monday Night game decides it.   ;D

That would be awesome.  But will you stick to your pick or change it?  :lol2:

I bet he keeps it...if it comes down to that, it is bragging rights for the week. I say I have it! :P

I don't know.   :lol2:

I doubt it, as that would guarantee one of us goes 10-0, but I would take a hard look at that Monday game, which could go one of two ways.  (1) OSU/Meyer seeks revenge and blows out Va Tech, or (2) OSU players let success go to their heads, show up overconfident, and VT gives them all they can handle on Monday night in Blacksburg.  The more I think of it, and knowing how much Urban Meyer hates losing (it sends him to the hospital), #1 is more likely, but it's sometimes hard for coaches to keep their players focused.  I'll be taking a closer look at that game tomorrow. 

I got a feeling tosu are to good let the pressure get to them. Just my opinion. RTR!

I'm worried you're right.   :unsure:

9-0 now.  If CP doesn't chicken out and change his pick, we will be guaranteed to have our first ever perfect 10-0 week.

 :o :o :o

What are you saying?  Might be better to have the only two 10-0 picks in the same week, ever.  ;D


(http://www.southdacola.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/chicken_sombrero.gif)



I won't chicken out -- she's got me beat in the tiebreaker anyway, so matching her pick guarantees second place.  But I will take a look at the game -- not many chances ever to go 10-0, so I'm not going to squander mine due to some fowl reference. 

Bock bock bock

KoKoPuf nailed the tiebreaker!

:clap: :clap:

Judas Priest, can't we just discuss the game and forget the picks??   :'(

Sorry, you're in the wrong thread.  :lol2:

Thank goodness for Breddy!   :-* :-*

#+

Well I missed being perfect by just a few wrong picks. Maybe next week will be good. I am where I need to be of course on the bottom to hold up the totem pole so nobody else falls. RTR!

She's probably right, I'll probably roll with my pick.  But the line has moved up to 14 1/2 points, which is a huge difference to the 13 points in our pickem game.  I'd feel much more comfortable having a 2 TD cushion.  OSU is out for blood and could easily roll through VT.   :unsure:

Can we vote Bamarae off the island?

:lol:

:lol2:

Are you kidding?  I'm trying to figure out how many e-creds to give her after tomorrow night.  I have put a bounty on a perfect game before but I don't remember what I said.

 :-[

By the way, just so you know, you've got tomorrow nights game WRONG!  :lol2:

:lol:  Probably.

1000 e-creds for 10-0.

Giving me incentive to swap my pick.    :lol:

Hey what do I get when I reach my goal of going 0-10? RTR!

Well, that is just as hard, but we don't reward failure around here.  :lol2:

Should we take away 1000 e-creds?  :lol2:

 :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:, might be a good thing. Quit trying to be perfect losing then. RTR!

Holy cow, Bamarae at 10-0!  We haven't had many of those.

Congrats, Bamarae!

Thank you very much!

9-1 is an amazing score as well.  To bad it happened this week CP.  :lol2:

Sprinkles are for winners

Thanks for the E-Cred! Looking forward to a great season if CP doesn't kick me off the island first!  ;)

I had a feeling it was OSU, but keeping VT guaranteed a 10-0 winner. 

Maybe next week.    :lol2:

Well you can't predict injuries.  Had the VT QB stayed in the game OSU may not have covered, and may have even lost the game.  :dunno:

REALLY??  VT couldn't have beaten them with 14 players on the field.
That game turned south before the QB was crushed under the 330-lb D-lineman.

 :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

4-6 

Some things never change. I am glad I've never had the urge to gamble though.

All I know is that VT was winning 17-14 at the half and even with their QB going out OSU only covered by 5 points.

:dunno:
