Auburn (Vandy has a lot to prove still before I'll pick them over a quality program like Auburn)
Boston College (NC State is all over the map; I gotta think BC's a more solid team despite Matt Ryan being gone)
Arizona State (Cal's got issues)
Miami FL (FSU's QB will struggle)
Illinois (still think Illinois is better despite Michigan's recent upset)
Mississippi (I want SC to win, but SC's offense is just horrible)
Missouri (Nebraska's glory days seem LONG ago!)
North Carolina (UConn's down to a backup QB)
Notre Dame (they're definitely improved from last year)
Ohio State (OSU's going in the right direction after loss to USC)

I'm nervous--picked too many road teams! Still, I've done that in some prior weeks and come out pretty good, so...

:crossingfingers:

Goodness gracious! I'm going to have to start selecting easier games to pick! This was another tough week all around. Here are this weeks results.

Lard Lad 6 of 10 60%
Cobie 5 of 10 50%
LWL 5 of 10 50 %
Vee 6 of 10 60 %

And here are the current results for the season so far...

Lard Lad 40 of 60 = 67%
Cobie 23 of 38 = 61%
LWL 32 of 50 = 64%
Vee 38 of 60 = 63%

And here are the ten games we'll be dealing with this week.

Wake Forest v Clemson (at Wake Forest)~ THURSDAY NIGHT!
Arizona v Stanford (at Stanford)
Florida v LSU (at Florida)
Kansas State v Texas A & M (at A&M)
Kentucky v South Carolina (at Kentucky)
Michigan State v Northwestern (at Northwestern)
North Carolina v Notre Dame (at NC)
Oklahoma v Texas (neutral site)
Penn State v Wisconsin (at Wisconsin)
Vanderbilt v Mississippi State (at Miss St)

Look 'em over and make your picks! Be sure to post your choices before the start of the Thursday night game.

Wake Forest (you all know I'm a Clemson fan, but I've been pretty disgusted this year--this is the game where they either rise from the ashes or fall completely apart. Hoping for the former, but expecting the latter. We'll see...)
Stanford (no feeling either way, so going with home team)
Florida (gawd, this one's TOUGH! I'm going with the home team and the importance to Florida of not getting a second loss)
Kansas State (A&M seems pretty bad this year)
South Carolina (Spurrier had Kentucky's number last year when KY was better, so...)
Michigan State (don't know much about NW this year, but Mich State seems pretty good)
North Carolina (NC seems to have a lot of tough out-of-conference games this year--and they've fared pretty well!)
Oklahoma (tough pick in a way, but Oklahoma feels like the real deal)
Penn State (This'll put JoePa's team to the test, but I think they're up to it)
Vanderbilt (alright, I'm officially on the Vandy bandwagon!)

As a two-degree Vandy alumnus with a family history with Vanderbilt going back four generations (and my wife works there, too!) VERY familiar with a loooong history of pain and suffering (lifelong Red Sox fan, too--although that's been easier going for the last few years) I can't tell you how much fun it is to be a season ticket holder this season. Any game in the SEC is a potential loss, but I think the players understand at this point they're playing with house money--beat Duke and someone else, and you've got a winning season and a bowl fame for the first time in 26 years. They'll win this weekend.

Sorry, Lardy.

OU sucks!
