    Points that mean more than Disqus points!

    Wish it had a few more games.

    Utah at Michigan and Fresno State at Rutgers would be interesting even without a spread.

    U don't know the half of it either. I have not yet begun to demonstrate my know-it-all-of-ness.
  • dawgfan · 1 year ago
    In the words of the bald referee who ref'd (no clue how to spell that) every title fight when I was a kid...Let's get in on!
  • OU_Ron · 1 year ago
    His name is Miles Lane, I'm old enough to remember.....
  • Porcine · 1 year ago
    Isn't it Mills?
  • OU_Ron · 1 year ago
    I don't think so, maybe someone else knows for sure, but I think it's Miles
  • Zac · 1 year ago
    Did you know he's actually a court justice? (If it's Mils Lane we're talking about, at least I think that's right.)

    OOPS, I need to learn to read ahead a little. Ron, ya beat me to it.
  • Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago
    I'm in.

    A good many of you aren't using the same name that you use here, or quite a few of the "veterans" are missing. Sign up!
  • Ben Prather · 1 year ago
    Not everyone is dedicated enough to check for updates every 4 or 5 hours.
  • JB · 1 year ago

  • TexasZack · 1 year ago
    I'm on there under "I heart Erin Andrews"... so you'll know who's beating you later on.... or who the guy is who's picks are horrendous. Either way, thats me.

  • Ben Prather · 1 year ago

  • Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago
    Good question. I'd like to see how her picks stack up.
  • OU_Ron · 1 year ago
    I don't know, but I wish she would have stuck around...
  • OU_Ron · 1 year ago
    WEA, Tomcat and the rest of the Texas fans need to sign up...and where's LENNIE !!
  • Kevin @ Fanblogs · 1 year ago
    Looks like there are a dozen or so spots left, boys, if you want in.
  • Zac · 1 year ago
    Speaking of the "Where's what's his name?", what ever happened to Spartacus (AKA Tommy Trojan), 40 Acres of Burnt Orange, and T-Mac, to name a few on the list of "Haven't seen em in a while."?
  • gatorhippy · 1 year ago
    And whatever happened to SoCal(insert suffix here)...
  • 1Tomcat · 1 year ago
    Heck I dunno enjoyed messing with that guy, he is probably overseas-USMC

  • asosa · 1 year ago
    It's going to be a fun year. I am interested to see how long Georgia is going to hold its top position
  • Kevin @ Fanblogs · 1 year ago
    Two reminders....

    1) There are about five slots left in the pick em if you want to play. Yes... it's free.
    2) All picks need to get made this week. Login and pick or you'll finish behind TE. :)
  • War_Eagle_Atlanta · 1 year ago
    I might actually stand a chance since the line isn't involved. I tend to over-analyze those things...

    I think I'll still end up trailing TE....
  • OU_Ron · 1 year ago
    of course, TE has inside info, haven't you been paying attention...
  • Ramblin' Gator · 1 year ago
    This is straight-up picks (i.e. no spread)?

    My sister thinks Yahoo is great. I'm here to tell ya; Yahoo SUCKS!!! After having gone through the BS to join the college pick em group, I seem to have forgotten something about my Yahoo account, and can't get in. Even more frustrating, I can't seem to connect with any "human" associate (if any) of the Yahoo entity. All I want to get answered the question, "How do I get this fixed?", but everything I try takes me some place I don't wanna go.

    Yahoo seems to have dozens of questions people have asked, but they have no place for me to ask my question. Subsequently, I'll be listing my picks, such as they are, here. If nothing else, at least I'll be able to say I made my picks before the games started. Sadly, there's an account with Yahoo, tied to yours truly, filling a spot someone else might have enjoyed. My apologies for that.

    As for this weekend, on the surface there don't seem to be a lot of interesting match-ups out there to open the season. Still, given the equality in strength for some of the pairings, the less remarkable may result in some entertaining games. For example: TX-El Paso vs. Buffalo. Most would ask, "Who cares?" Yet, this may be worth watching. So, without further adieu

    Vandy at Miami (the other one): Good start for the Commodores & the SEC. Vandy.
    Wake Forest @ Baylor: Wake takes more than expected challenge on the road.
    NC St at SC: Wolf-Pack exposes Cocks (Hey, if it looks good out, why not leave it out all day?)
    OR St at Stanford: The Cardinals are waiting for their trip to USC. OR St.
    Temple at Army: 2 teams no one wants to watch, yet it could be a lot of fun. Temple
    VA Tech at ECU: Tough season opener for both; one of the better match-ups! Tech.
    SMU at RICE: See Temple at Army. RICE.
    Hawaii at FL: This one will not be interesting. FL
    UT at MI: Utes invade the Big House laden with new coaching staff, new offense, but the same kids that ran the old system, including "7 starters on defense"; the same defense that got lit up by 73 pts in their 1st 2 games, and gave up another 37 to WI & 35 to mistake-prone FL. Not this year, Richi, UT gets the upset.
    USC at VA: Trojans visit last year's Cardiac kids. This one won't be so close. USC.
    OK St at WA St: This one could be lots of fun to watch; too bad there has to be a loser. OK St.
    JMU at Duke: Another solid 1-AA team defeats a BCS. . . door mat. (Oh yeah?!? Well, just try em in BB.)
    MI St at Cal: See OK St at WA St. Spartans.
    WA at OR: Ty, this is no way to start the season. OR.
    Appy St at LSU: Champions collide. The bigger one wins. LSU.
    AL at Clemson: Arguably THE marquee match-up of the weekend. Tigers.
    IL at MO: These 2 take exception to the above. MO.
    KY at Louisville: Payback's a beach. Too bad neither state has one. Louisville.
    CO St at CO: Think about the Rams, not about WVU. Buffalo's.
    Fresno at Rutgers: R these dogs for real, or is it going to come down to Teel (as in Mike & what he can do)? Knights.
    TN at UCLA: At last, an opening road game TN can win, and will.

    As for the rest AS over ID, AR over W IL, MN over N IL, TX A&M over AR St, NC over McNeese St, MS St over LA Tech, TX over FL Atlantic, KS over FL International, OK over Chattanooga, S FL over TN Martin, TX Tech over E WA, Boise St over ID St, KS St over N TX, Houston over Southern, NE over W MI, Tulsa over UAB, Marshal over IL St, TCU over NM, BYU over N IA, UCF over SC St, AS St over N AS, BC over Kent St, Ole Miss over Memphis, Navy over Towson, MD over DE, TX El Paso over Buffalo, THE "U" over Charleston So, GA Tech over Jacksonville St, UConn over Hofstra, Cinci over E KY, IA St over SD St, WI over Akron, Pitt over Bowling Green, Penn St over C Carolina, OSU over Youngstown St, IN over W KY, GA over GA So, WY over OH(U), Air Force over So UT, and not to be outdone with the easy opening prey, WVU over Nova.

    Only 25 minutes to kick off!!!!!!!!!

    Has anyone else checked how your picks turned out in the pick'em contest, I just did, whoever keeps score at Yahoo must have been drinking yesterday, I picked Kansas over Fla Intl and they show that pick was incorrect, I call foul.....
  • Kevin @ Fanblogs · 1 year ago
    Did they cover? I don't think they did.
  • OU_Ron · 1 year ago
    Oh, it's a point's thing, hell I thought you just picked the winner, now I'll have to think too long, don't think I'll have too much of a chance.....
  • 1Tomcat · 1 year ago
    Hey Ron You did purty good, heck most everyone blew the same two, because of the spread.
    I really wasn't paying attention Wisc was a 26 point over Akron well I'll pay closer attention this time. Heck I dont feel too bad I'm tied with WEA & Kev the pros.I also lost on the KU vs FIU.
    Week games I blew
    Alabama over Clemson
    East Carolina over V Tech
    Blowing Green over Pitt
    Others that I blew that were not on the list

    Wake over Baylor
    AR st over Texas A&M
    Buffalo over UTEP
    Poor Aggies- they announced the score and showed it on the big screen last night in Austin- everybody cheered and then hollered the chant poor Aggies
