Just letting everyone know when it comes to the Saturday games this is going to be the way it is the rest of the year. It's time to really find out who knows their college football.

 

Tennessee/South Carolina just missed the cut but most everyone would have picked Tennessee anyways.

In that case, do you want to get really obscure and do games like Texas Southern vs. Prarie View A&M from the SWAC?

 

Or are you limiting it to I-A teams only?

 

 

All bitching aside, I think I'll do well with these picks because I have a decent feel for bad teams. Hell, I've seen Mississippi State, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Arkansas State, New Mexico State, Louisiana-Monroe, and Louisiana-Lafayette play.

Bored, I have to say that you went a little overboard here. A few obscure mid-major games are fine, and there's no need to predict games like USC/Washington or Oklahoma/Kansas.

 

With that being said, passing up Tennessee/South Carolina for Central Michigan/Western Michigan is ridiculous. You've got a vulnerable top ten team going on the road to take on an extremely underrated Gamecock team who should be ranked, and still has a legitimate shot at winning the SEC East. Outside of the Thursday night game, that's probably the most likely upset in the whole Top 25.

 

I like what you're doing taking the more even games, but if you have a game of national significance that seems like it has a good shot at an upset, you should definitely leave it in over crappy mid-major games.

 

Edit: Not to hammer the issue, but according to Vegas, USC over Tennessee isn't even an upset. The line's even and the game's listed as a pick 'em.

Gotta agree. If USC v Tennessee didn't make it because everybody would pick Tennessee, the inclusion of OU v Kansas is REALLY mind-boggling.

 

Heck, S. Carolina should be involved in about every single game for the rest of the season, Their games v Arkansas, Florida, and Clemson are all going to have tight lines.

If the game was in Tempe it'd be on there but with the game in Berkley I didn't think many would bite on the upset.

 

Lots of people coming in late this week it appears. I probably won't post the PM'd picks until tonight.
