I happily and cheerfully state right here, right now that I was wrong and that South Carolina defeated the FORMER #1 Alabama Crimson Tide.

I'm so happy I could Plotz!


Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

Something pithy!

No kidding! What a crazy day all around.

I'm very disappointed in my Canes. We played in a daze the entire game not like we were in the middle of our most heated rivalry. Very disturbing.

And I wish I had gone with my gut on the Alabama - South Carolina pick frown Would have looked a little bit better. Anyway, here are the results for this week...

Lardy 2 of 10 - 20%
Rick 4 of 10 - 40%
Vee 4 of 10 - 40%
Cobie 4 of 10 - 40%
Lance's realm 4 of 10 - 40%

And the overall standings are as follows:

Cobie - 12 of 20 = 60%
Rick - 19 of 30 = 63%
Vee - 19 of 30 = 63%
Lardy - 9 of 20 = 45%
Lance's realm - 4 of 10 = 40%

And here are the new rankings...

AP Top 25

* 1.Ohio St. (34)
* 2.Oregon (15)
* 3.Boise St. (8)
* 4.TCU (1)
* 5.Nebraska
* 6.Oklahoma (2)
* 7.Auburn
* 8.Alabama
* 9.LSU
* 10.South Carolina
* 11.Utah
* 12.Arkansas
* 13.Michigan St.
* 14.Stanford
* 15.Iowa
* 16.Florida St.
* 17.Arizona
* 18.Wisconsin
* 19.Nevada
* 20.Oklahoma St.
* 21.Missouri
* 22.Florida
* 23.Air Force
* 24.Oregon St.
* 25.West Virginia

Most questionable rank is Alabama dropping in at #8 when South Carolina, who soundly defeated them, only rose to #10! How do you justify that? No question 'Bama is an excellent team but...these are the things that always make me shake my head in wonderment.

Michigan and Miami both fell out of the top 25 to #26 & 27 respectively.

Here is a link to the rankings for this week, including the one for the AP that Vee posted above.

SC is looking good. Still a lot of season, but hopefully the win over Alabama will give them some confidence.

Dag! I was 20% last week?!?! I think all last year my very worst week was 50%!!!

Funny thing is, I'm not even sure which two I got RIGHT as I spent the weekend visiting my mom and saw little-to-none of the football games! I know several I got wrong for sure, but right---? shrug

I think Notre Dame won. Who else? UCLA? UConn? confused

Maryland @ Clemson --------------------- Clemson
# 21 Missouri @ Texas A&M -------------- Missouri
North Carolina State @ East Carolina --- North Carolina State
Illinois @ #13 Michigan State ---------- Michigan State
Army @ Rutgers ------------------------- Rutgers

Cal @ USC ------------------------------ USC
Texas @ #5 Nebraska -------------------- Nebraska
#12 Arkansas @ #7 Auburn --------------- Auburn
#10 South Carolina @ Kentucky ---------- South Carolina
#1 Ohio State @ #18 Wisconsin ---------- Ohio State


The last one is a tough call, since the Bucks have had such a cakewalk schedule so far, and because the Badgers are awfully tough at home. Gonna be close I think.

*sigh* No matter how hard I try to get them to line up all nice and neat, it still comes off misaligned. Better luck next week...

I went back and added some period spacing to make mine a little easier to read.

Im worried about Ole' Kaintuck. SC might be coming off that big win and have a let down. Its happened plenty of times before.

Auburn...that QB is just too dang tough, he takes away that extra man on the defense because they can't rule him out, so it will be light zone coverage or man to man, which gives him plenty of wiggle room.

East Carolina... I hope they do good, they've come a long way, first with Skip Holtz doing a fantastic job, and their new coach has held up well all things considered. But I think NC state has them overmatched.

Army over Rutgers? Just cause. I think they have a little something and they really come in as my surprise upset pick.

Clemson, because Dabo better pull out a win or they are gonna dab him outta the program, real quick.

Cal over USC (The pretender USC that is) cause a) they're better than USC and b) I hope someone kicks a board up Kiffen's butt and runs him the hell out.

Clemson - home field and 'cuz they're Lardy's team

Mizzou

East Carolona - I'll bite: show me what you got fellas

Michigan State

Rutgers

USC - though like Rick, I loathe them

Nebraska - if I got any wrong I feel this is yet. The Cornhuskers are a better team but I know Texas has one big won in them this year still.

Auburn

South Carolina - damn those boys were impressive last week

Ohio State

Maryland @ Clemson - Like rick, I think the Terps are a good team and could very well win this game but Clemson really, really, really needs this win. Vee's pick ~ Clemson

# 21 Missouri @ Texas A&M - Missouri is coming off an impressive win against Colorado and had a season opening win against Illinois as well. While I think the Aggies at A & M are a good team, they really haven't played this level of competition this year except for Arkansas which turned out to be a 17-24 loss. Vee's pick ~ Mizzou

North Carolina State @ East Carolina - Pirates are always good but the Wolfpack is rockin' and rollin' this year. Vee's pick ~ NC State

Illinois @ #13 Michigan State - Both teams were unheralded in Big 10 play until the Spartans' big win last week. Either team is capable to winning the game so it should be a tough, hard fought contest. Vee's pick ~ Michigan State

Army @ Rutgers - This one is a tough call. I would normally say home field will be the deciding factor in this type of game but Rutgers is only 2-2 at home while Army is 3-0 on the road. Vee's pick ~ Army

Cal @ USC - Cal is coming off a win against UCLA while USC is looking to recover from back to back losses to Stanford and Washington. As much as I would like to see it I don't think USC will have three loses in a row. Vee's pick ~ USC

Texas @ #5 Nebraska - While I do think Nebraska will lose at some point this year, I don't think Texas is ready to be the one to take them down in Lincoln. Taylor Martinez could get 250 yards rushing! Vee's pick ~ Nebraska

#12 Arkansas @ #7 Auburn - Cam is a good QB but so is Mallett and Auburn does not have an answer for David & Green. This could go either way. Vee's pick ~ I think Arkansas pulls this one out on the road.

#10 South Carolina @ Kentucky - I have to agree, Kentucky is feisty this year and could well surprise South Carolina if they are still celebrating their big win from last week. Vee's pick ~ South Carolina

#1 Ohio State @ #18 Wisconsin - I continue to believe that Ohio State is very over rated. The Badgers are at home and always enjoy ruining OSU dreams of a national Championship. Vee's pick ~ Wisconsin in the upset special of the week!

Vee, I completely agree about the Bucks being overrated. (Shh, quiet - my wife grew up in Columbus!) You might be right about the upset - I was just too chicken to go out on a limb to guess it!

I hope my percentage goes up this week. 40%? I guess it might actually be tough for it to drop!

Clemson (Pretty please, Dabo?)
Texas A&M
North Carolina State
Michigan State
Rutgers
USC
Nebraska
Arkansas (Seems like Auburn's playing nothing but big games at home. They've barely eked out victories there even so. I'm guessing the Razorbacks' high-octane offense will be too much for a defense that has looked pretty shitty at times. Question is...can Arkansas' D stop Auburn's QB?)
South Carolina (...for Rick's sanity! smile )
Wisconsin (Anyone got some Upset Sauce?)

Pretty gutsy picks, Lardy. You picked A&M, Arkansas, and Wisconsin? Can't wait to see how today turns out!

Well, the A&M pick didn't pan out, so far. But you can see where going with the "safe" picks got me last week, eh? No guts = no glory!

(Hell, I'll be happy if I get better than 20% this week! nod )

Ha! I think you have already beat last week's score! For that matter, so has everyone else, I think. My wife is watching the Buckeyes now - I had to run out and get her some beer...and some valium...haha!

Cobie, I agree! There were other games on at the same time, but the Auburn/Arkansas game was a fine defensive struggle! (smell the sarcasm?) Lots of fun watching that one!

My dad is from Nebraska, so I am a little bummed about that one. How do you get to be a number 5 team when your receivers can't catch a football?

Looks like I should have just gone with my gut!

I don't want to jinx the game but looks like those that picked Wisconsin were not only gutsy, they were on to something!

Wow, Rick, I am really sorry! I just had to come online and see in anyone picked Kentucky! (Yes, I actually live in Kentucky, but that doesn't make me a fan.)

The Ohio State/Wisconsin game was the one I thought most about. As it stands right now, I shoulda leaned the other way...

Oh, and I was just kidding earlier. I actually had to go out and get the beer for me. Happy now honey?

Well, if Wisconsin can hold on, I'll manage 50% this week. I think if Arkansas had gotten that one fumble overturned (as they should have, IMO), the outcome might have very well been different. I just don't see Auburn staying undefeated with that defense.

Rick....... shrug
