My Week 1 predictions

[olympicoscar]

Penn St is a decent pick for an upset by Ohio U. So is Auburn to beat Clemson. SMU can definitely surprise Baylor. I think Bowling Green could surprise Florida. Alabama needs to bring their A game or could be upset.

I am going to allow myself to be able to change my prediction until midnight CST (or around) before the game. I think I have allowed myself until kickoff in the past.

Feel free to make your own predictions.

If there is no scoring in the Tenn-NCSt game, I would guess really close.
If MSU scores a TD, I would be super close.

I am having doubts that I am going to be close in either game. I didn't do very good with the WSU/BYU game.

Only thing I can figure about WSU is Leach doesn't have his shed there yet.

 

[rolltide14_0]

Dammit, I was 3 points off the UT-NCST final score!

* I was 1 point off on my BSU-MSU prediction.
* I was a TD from each team's score in the SJSU-Stanford, but was expecting more of a blowout and not a 3-pt game.
* Same with the SCar-Vandy game (which was 4-pt game).
* WSU-BYU is the only one so far that I picked the wrong team to win.

So far, 5-1 (includes ND) with 4 close games

I do close games being 8 pts or closer from both teams' score.

* The Clemsnn-Auburn game I picked wrong but is still a game I consider a close prediction because I was 8 points from both teams (most a team can score on 1 drive)

I went 29-2, a whole lot of givens this week though.

I didn't think Penn st. would drop so low that they'd lose to Ohio, especially how special this game was, but I was wrong. I also thought Syracuse would take Northwestern, they got me excited with less than a minute, then let Northwestern score a fucking TD.

You did very good this week. So far, you are 28-2 with 7 close predictions. I think you counted TCU as a game when counting the games.

Ah yes, I did do that.
