Bored's College Football Pick 'Em - Week 1


Recommended Posts

Posted

So I heard from APO and the championship game will be the Pepsi Blue Bored Bowl.

 

Well it's week 1 and getting a head start as to make sure everyone gets there picks in for this first week as there's four Thursday games to make picks for. For those new to the contest these threads will be normally posted Sunday nights. Now for this opening week there's the Miami/Florida State game on Monday so even though the week won't be over yet I'll still post the Week 2 thread the Sunday before as to give everyone time to get picks in. Also this week will be the only week I'll send out a reminder for people to get their picks in and I'll probably send that out Tuesday night.

 

For those new to the contest don't forget to answer both tiebreak questions. You can post your picks in the thread or PM, does not matter. I post PM'd picks Wednesday nights. There will only be one deadline this week as if you miss out on Thursday you're screwed for the week as it is.

 

Sorry about Buffalo/Temple everyone but how often you get the two worst programs in the country playing each other?

 

Week 1 Deadline - Thursday, August 31st, 7:00 PM EST/4:00 PM PST

-Lose out on four Friday games, replacement picks used for rest of the week, can't win by tiebreak.

Boo. I did last year before having horrible luck going like 0-6, and then moving. :(

I've got a funny feeling about that Notre Dame/Tech game.

 

Tech seems like they have a knack for playing over their heads in big games, and below their knees in games where they just need to take care of business. I still think the Irish will win, but it's going to be way tighter than people expect, which will result in a cascade of NOTRE DAME IS OVERRATED bullshit from one end, and NOTRE DAME IS A GREAT CLUTCH TEAM WITH HEART AND TRADITION noise from the other.

ND/GT annoys me because ND will win like 49-38 to please their asshole fans. And Calvin Johnson will have an enormous day against ND's shitty defense, and his hype will further continue.

Posted

Notre Dame's not winning that game. GT's always got tons of talent and if they get a huge national showcase like that at home, they're going to get the job done. As Agent was mentioning, they'll probably screw up against somebody like North Carolina later in the year and they probably won't be a realistic threat in the ACC, but I really think they're gonna take down the Irish.

I'll bet you 10K on it.

Notre Dame will dominate Georgia Tech.

 

Reggie Ball is one of the most overrated quarterbacks I've seen in a long, long time. And since all the projections say Notre Dame's defense will be weak, Ball will play a way-too-confident football game. Little does he know that the Irish linebackers will be all over him.

 

Offensively, the Irish should put up a lot of points. Last season, they beat Pitt 42-21 with a new coach and a shaky group of kids. Now, it's the same Charlie Weis with a Heisman caliber quarterback and a squad with high, but well-founded, confidence.

 

Notre Dame: 45

Georgia Tech: 24

What? I have to do as well as my 1-Whatever record from last year.

Even though I picked ND in my picks, I wouldn't really be all that surprised if ND lost to GT. Remember how everyone thought Tyrone Willingham's team would be a national title contender in their 2nd year?

 

Weis is a better coach than Willingham. It's a huge reason, I think Notre Dame is in the National Title contention.Besides USC, Notre Dame as the coaching edge over the teams who are capable of beating them.

Oh, you better believe I'll be betting that GT/ND game. I'll probably be taking 2.6 to 1 with a reputable sportsbook rather than even money over a messageboard however. :)
