cant believe SC is still in the top twenty five. I damn sure wouldn't rank them there. Nobody showed up to play and it was dang obvious.
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

Vee, I am not sure if your ability to overcome those odds means you should go buy a lottery ticket, or avoid them like the plague. Don't think I'll take a chance on the lottery or at tempting fate, just in case!

Monkey's paw. Win the lottery, lose your family home, or be involved in a 24 car collision on the interstate.
Still, if Karma is to be believed, everything should balance out, so next week you'll not only get every pick right, but win a lollipop as well, lol.

Hopefully I can do better than 40% this week. It would probably help, Vee, if you would include games like LSU/La Monroe. (haha)
It's really hard to pick some of these...my gut says Clemson, but I still think Fl State will win. The SC/Florida game depends which South Carolina team shows up. Lots of waffling on many of these picks, but we'll see.

I hate FSU with a passion. I consider them Clemson's foremost Rival in the ACC. I love to see them beaten, especially when it's a whuppin' administered by the Tigers. Loved how UNC broke their widdle hearts last week! I hope Dabo gets Clemson up for this one. I'm not confident at all that Clemson will win, given their mixed play this year in general and their road performance in particular. But I'll NEVER pick against the Tigers in this particular match-up! I MAY consider picking against them on occasion (like MAYBE against SC in a couple weeks), but not against the hated Seminoles!

Well, since I can't possibly do any worse than I did last week, I'm just picking the teams I would like to see win this week. We'll see how that goes...
South Florida @ Louisville ~ Vee's pick - South Florida
Kansas State @ #20 Missouri ~ Vee's pick - Missouri
#15 Utah @ Notre Dame ~ Vee's pick - Utah
#16 Virginia Tech @ North Carolina ~ Vee's pick - North Carolina
Penn State @ #8 Ohio State ~ Vee's pick - Ohio State
Texas A&M @ Baylor ~ Vee's pick - Baylor
#22 South Carolina @ #24 Florida ~ Vee's pick - South Carolina
#17 Mississippi State @ #11 Alabama ~ Alabama
USC @ #18 Arizona ~ Vee's pick - Arizona
Clemson @ Florida State ~ Vee's pick - Clemson

Ah, I knew you guys would get your picks in. Everybody wants to try to improve their record from last week. Should be some good games, though, although it will be hard to top the Illinois/Michigan slugfest.

Louisville
Missouri
ND - am I just picking ND because their my team and I don't pick against them? Yup. But maybe they can pull off an upset.
Virginia Tech
Ohio State - really would like to see Penn State pull this off but I'm not sure they could do it.
Baylor
Florida - I predict all wins for the Gators here on out this season.
Alabama
Arizona
Clemson

South Carolina stomped the Gators. I am so happy to be wrong I could pee myself. SEC East Champs, baby. And its fitting that the two best running backs in the SEC, Cam Newton and Marcus Lattimore, will face each other in the title game in Atlanta. Clemson, you weren't playing Carolina, so I was hoping you would pull it out even though I didn't think you would. This ain't gloating...sorry I was right. You guys lead a good long while.
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

Well, I did much better this week than last but I could only get better after all! This was another tough week with lots of games that came down to the wire and others that didn't really go as predicted. Here are this weeks results...
Lardy 4 of 10 - 40% Rick 4 of 10 - 40% Vee 5 of 10 - 50% Cobie 5 of 10 - 50% Lance 6 of 10 - 60%
And the overall standings are as follows:
Cobie - 38 of 70 = 54% Rick - 44 of 80 = 55% Vee - 41 of 80 = 51% Lardy - 36 of 69 = 52% Lance - 34 of 60 = 57%
Congrats to lance for picking 6 out of 10 correct, the best result this week.

Congrats to Cobie for being the only person here to pick Notre Dame over Utah! I really didn't think Notre Dame had it in them, but then, predicting football games is like trying to predict the bounce of a football - it goes kinda funny sometimes.
