[Bored]

Couple of notes:

 

-Tonight's game ended up having no meaning except in the two games were posters who didn't make picks yet.

 

-Spicy McHaggis hasn't logged onto the board in over a month so I'm not expecting him to show up. After this week I'll offer Arizona State to Crimson Platypus since he did want to sign up but I had to leave him out, unless Spicy shows up. Kotz hasn't signed on the board in a few days so I'll assume he'll show up again and might make picks this week.

 

-I already have the replacement picks for this week for Spicy and Kotz if neither submits picks. For Spicy I'll use AlwaysPissedOff's picks and for Kotz I'll use therealworldschampion's picks. I chose those two based on them having similar ranking last season. Those replacement picks will only be for the games Saturday and on.

[Vern Gagne]

Glad my matchup won't be decided with the tiebreakers.

[Spicy McHaggis]

My apologies.

Tiebreak Question #1: How many total points will be scored in the Arizona/Utah game? 41

[Bored]

One game already decided

 

Florida (AgentBond34) def. Miami (Spaceman Spiff) by tiebreak

 

They had the exact same picks, Agent was one point off the total score for tonight.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

You guys should do a documentary about me some time!

 

Why should we do a documentary about you?

 

Because I'm so fuckin' good!

[Bored]

East Carolina beats Duke, one match up decided:

 

Arizona State (Spicy McHaggis) def. Texas A&M (Secret Agent)

[Secret Agent]

East Carolina beats Duke, one match up decided:

 

Arizona State (Spicy McHaggis) def. Texas A&M (Secret Agent)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Bullshit! I already had a one game lead due to the guy not submitting picks and the second game he needs hasn't been played yet!

EDIT: NM, it was the Bowling Green game. I thought we had different picks with Pitt and ND.

[Guest]

I'm fucked, I need Boise and FSU to win.

[Bored]

Air Force beats Washington (woo hoo I'm 0-4 today!), one match up decided:

 

#5 LSU (teke184) def. Washington State (bravesfan)

[Bored]

Georgia burying Boise State, two match ups decided:

 

Maryland (MarvinisaLunatic) def. Oklahoma (Damaramu)

 

Alabama (AlwaysPissedOff) def. Northwestern (Kingofthe909)

[MarvinisaLunatic]

I cant believe some people actually picked Duke to win a football game.

[teke184]

LSU in da hizzy fo shizzy!

 

5/6 so far, although it's looking bad for Pitt, Auburn, and Texas A&M.

[Gert T]

Bored, do you want this FG to go in?

[Bored]

Woo hoo saved for the moment! I've had a shitty day but only one of three to pick Clemson.

 

Only one match-up decided by the two primetime ABC games:

 

Kent State (JHawk) def. Tennessee (Kotzenjunge*)

 

* replacement picks by therealworldschampion

 

Several match-ups won't be decided until tommorrow or Monday.

[teke184]

While we're waiting, any chance of you telling us more about the retooled BCS poll?

[therealworldschampion]

UTEP is up 28-0 on New Mexico State, so that's good for me...

[teke184]

Yeah, that Hal Mumme offense REALLY appears to be working at NMS so far...

 

I know that UTEP is a very good mid-major, but I'd think that NMS could get ONE score on the board if Mumme is such a genius.

[Guest I miss Test.]

Bah, looks like I have to wait until Monday night for my game.

 

And if I picked FSU, I would have won anyway. Lol.

[Bored]

What's to tell? Already explained it in the sign up thread. The correct pick pct against (aka strength of schedule) will only count for 10% of your ranking this year while win/loss record and correct pick pct will be weighted evenly (45% each).

 

Right now I'm thinking I might not post the Week 2 thread until Monday night after all. There is a really shitty Thursday game next week, Oklahoma State/Florida Atlantic, and I'd like to wait out to see if a decision on ASU/LSU will be made by Monday. If I do this I'd just skip the Thursday game next week.

[teke184]

In that case, I'm a HAPPY Teke...

 

My SOS and % correct screwed me last year considering that I'd only lost 2 games all season.

[therealworldschampion]

Yeah, that Hal Mumme offense REALLY appears to be working at NMS so far...

 

I know that UTEP is a very good mid-major, but I'd think that NMS could get ONE score on the board if Mumme is such a genius.

 

Well of course Mumme looked like a genius at Kentucky when he could cheat to get talent...

I'm not thinking about the Tim Couch years there...

 

I'm thinking of the hype he got because he and former Vandy coach Woody Widenhofer resurrected Southeastern Louisiana University's football program last year and put up I-AA's top offensive numbers.

[therealworldschampion]

Ah I thought you were talking about Mumme at Kentucky. I didn't know him and Widenhoefer coached together....

[Bored]

God damn Auburn. Only two people picked Georgia Tech including my opponent. UTEP is crushing New Mexico State so safe to call that one. Here are the match ups decided:

 

Ohio State (Gert T) def. #7 Stanford (Bored)

 

Penn State (therealworldschampion) def. Nebraska (CarnivalizComing)

 

Match-ups that can/will be decided tommorrow:

 

Minnesota/Virgina

UCLA/San Diego State

Georgia Tech/Auburn

Hawaii/USC

Notre Dame/Troy

 

Match-ups that can't be decided until Monday:

 

Syracuse/South Carolina

Oregon/FIU

Rutgers/Illinois

Buffalo/Connecticut

The only reason I know is that I live in Baton Rouge, near SLU's Hammond campus, and my office includes a TON of Southeastern alums who were going crazy over football returning.
