Yep, the Chicken Curse lives.

Damn! Florida's really laying an egg post-Tebow, huh?

Well, excrement onna stick. I had to listen to the game on radio since I was with the wife going to pick up the son from his grandparents. I don't know how it looked on tv, but it sounded like the usual "lets fall apart and panic" game in the second half. If all they have is Lattimore and without him they can't tie their shoes, they should fall out of the top 25, they don't deserve to be ranked.

I don't know how I did the rest of the way, but even Army let me down and they were looking real good when last I heard, then I saw the final.

Ah swear, one of these days as a diehard Carolina fan, I'm gonna learn. Aw hell, who'm I trying to kid. We got our championship in the real sport, Baseball, baby.

Well, I did 60%, which makes me 50-50 overall. I guess that means I should just be drawing names out of a hat. Hmmm....maybe I'll try that next week...

LOL, I sometimes think I would do better that way also!

Week 7 turned out to be another week of awesome games, surprising upsets and turmoil in the polls! Here are our results....

Lardy 5 of 10 - 50%
Rick 4 of 10 - 40%
Vee 5 of 10 - 50%
Cobie 7 of 10 - 70%
Lance's realm 6 of 10 - 60%

And the overall standings are as follows:

Cobie - 17 of 30 = 57%
Rick - 23 of 40 = 58%
Vee - 24 of 40 = 60%
Lardy - 14 of 30 = 47%
Lance's realm - 10 of 20 = 50%

I am really doubting if this week is going to raise my percentage.

Just for fun, here is another set of picks. These were calculated by a very scientific system developed by top minds at Bell Labs. In other words, I just flipped a coin. No need to tabulate these, Vee, I'm just curious to see how these turn out. Obviously, they should be close to 50%. Here we go...

West Virginia
Rutgers
Arkansas
Missouri
LSU
Iowa
Georgia Tech
North Carolina

Well, I think I did 70%..so..better. My coin toss only did 40%, so I guess I won't use that method.

It looks like the coin is only one to get the Missouri - Oklahoma game right. Go Tigers !!!

Dang gum. I only did fifty percent last week.

That doth sucketh mightly.

You did better than you thought, Rick - Auburn actually beat LSU.

I miscounted earlier - the coin toss only did 30%. Still not gonna use that method!

I should have listened to my gut instead of my head on Mizzou but I just couldn't believe that #1 would fall three weeks in a row. After all, those who know me (yes, I'm looking at you Cobie!) KNOW that my gut is much more impressive than my head!

Week 8 continued the recent trend of upsets and very close games. Here are our results....

Lardy 7 of 10 - 70%
Rick 7 of 10 - 70%
Vee 5 of 10 - 50%
Cobie 6 of 10 - 60%
Lance's realm 8 of 10 - 80%

And the overall standings are as follows:

Cobie - 23 of 40 = 58%
Rick - 30 of 50 = 60%
Vee - 29 of 50 = 58%
Lardy - 21 of 40 = 53%
Lance's realm - 18 of 30 = 60%

Congrats to Lance's reaalm on a great week!

Not that it means anything but this is how I would rank the top 25 if it were up to me after yesterday's games. We'll see how close I get to the AP poll when it comes out at noon & the BCS tonight
