Bored's College Football Pick 'Em - Week 2

[CanadianChris 0]

Of course it isn't. Everyone has the same opportunity to PM picks or pick late.

 

I laughed when I saw Edwin's picks matched mine completely. I thought about switching, but why switch games you already think are right?

[Bored 0]

This wasn't a particularly good week of games in terms of match-ups that are complete toss ups. I never put a game on the list that I don't think there's at least a chance of an upset but I picked several games this week that I knew there wouldn't be many differing picks.

 

Cincinnati is going to save the late pickers as Hawk 34 was only one to pick the Bearcats.

[Vern Gagne 0]

What a stupid pick.

[Carnival 0]

I knew I should have pm'd my picks.

 

damn cheaters.

 

On the bright side of it; if Oregon steamrolls Michigan it'll be a easy victory for you. I actually was ready to send in my picks when I saw Spaceman Spiff's and my picks matched all of his. I had to think hard about which games to go against him on. I hope that isn't considered cheating.

I consider it cheating, but i'm a bit of a whiner.

There were tons of tough games to pick out there. Give us Toledo vs. Central Michigan! Give us Ohio vs. Louisiana Lafayette! Give us Memphis vs. Arkansas State! Who needs these yawnfests like Virginia Tech/LSU?

[Edwin MacPhisto 0]

Haha. We even had almost the same tiebreaker. Come on 10-7 game! The one pick I backed off was Western Michigan over Indiana, so if that happens, officially call me a football vag.

[Hawk 34 0]

I was shocked people actually brought into the Oregon State hype.

[Fökai 0]

After reading that Sloughter would play, I changed my mind. Oh well.

[Edwin MacPhisto 0]

In this case, I don't think people bought into the Oregon State hype as thought that Cincinnati was a pretty weak opponent, particularly after losing Dantonio to Michigan State. I was more surprised by that result than Middle Tennessee putting up 42 on Louisville.

 

Upon further review, Cincinnati got 31 points off turnovers. Amazing! Oregon State's defense did more than fine, only allowing 229 yards, but the offense and special teams (two fucked-up punts leading to 14 UC points) just self-destructed. Now I wish I'd seen the game.

I'm rather shocked by the amount of people taking Colorado over Arizona State. I don't think Colorado is there just yet.

[Guest]

Same. Colorado is in for a rude awakening.

[Bored 0]

I have to put in replacement pick assignments for tommorrow in case the last two late pickers don't show up.

[Hawk 34 0]

East Carolina puts me in the W again, thanks to my "risk" with UC but overall another poor overall record.

[CanadianChris 0]

Come on LSU, I need 11 more points.

[KingPK 0]

I tied, so I guess it's winnah winnah, chicken dinnah for me.

[CanadianChris 0]

Please don't let it stay stuck on this score.

[CanadianChris 0]

Thank you.

[MFer 0]

Well at least I got the 55 combined points right...which is about all I can claim for this week.

[iggymcfly 0]

Of course, teke gets the LSU score perfect. I guess to win this week, I needed to grow some balls and pull the trigger on South Carolina. I predicted them to upset UGA before the season started, but then I wussed out and took the favorite when making my picks.

[teke184 0]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!

 

I'm stylin' and profilin' tonight! I got to watch a first-class ass whippin' in person, then come home and find out I've knocked off the #7 team!

 

 

Where's my bar recipe book? This calls for Kamakazes...

[Cuban Linx 0]

I hate these matchups where i'm relying on teams like East Carolina and Western Michigan to win, but it looks like i'll retain a top 3 ranking as long as Arizona State can hold onto a 19 point lead.

[Bored 0]

Safe to call the game for Arizona State so on to the results.

The new formula is doing what it was meant to accomplish and that is mimic real life a little better. Everyone knows in past years in Week 2 there'd always 1-1 teams in the Top 10 but not anymore, everyone in the Top 10 is 2-0. Of course since we're only two weeks everyone is bunched together and there are quite a few ties but I break the ties by correct pick % and then just whoever was ranked higher the previous week as it really doesn't matter at this point. Plenty of shuffling but no change at the top.

Ranked~!

A preview of the final real BCS polls to decide the National Championship players?

[teke184 0]

Maybe for 1 and 2, but certainly not #4.

 

 

The Cuse just plain sucks this year. (The real team, not Chris)

[Guest Vitamin X]

Woo! First win! A narrow one too, but yes!

 

And yeah, I bought into the Oregon State hype, I'll admit it. Looks like Eugene's got the superior team in the state again this year, even if the run defense doesn't look too good.

This year and every year, it seems.

[Danville_Wrestling 0]

Those MAC teams have cost me two weeks in a row. I just need to quit picking them.

 

Of course if I had gone with my gut on South Carolina then I wouldn't have lost outright.
