I think it is clear everyone knew this one was Louisville's, though Syracuse is trying to make a showing.

One caveat. You cannot beat me.

Hey, is it O.K. if I root for UCF over Michigan? Because I really don't like Michigan.

No really, love Frost and fuck Michigan.

You can root, doesn't mean they won't get their shit packed.

Did you see the super butthurt article one of the Michigan bloggers wrote?

Yes. Michigan fans are writing some revisionist history. They're actually pretending these days that they WANTED to play Nebraska. That would have been hilarious.

Who was the best team in 1997/Nebraska or Michigan/Discuss


In this thread I think I put down enough evidence on which team was superior.

The most damning, the AP poll that ranked Michigan numero uno, only ranked three of their opponents, Nebraska on the hand, had five opponents in the final ranking. Nebraska beat two top ten teams in the final ranking, by huge point spreads. Michigan beat one, barely.

Then there is the Michigan bowl opponents, of which each one of them lost by a convincing score.

I also pointed out how good running backs run on Michigan with ease. Michigan did not face Ron Dayne since he was hurt.

Sure, Michigan's defense had good numbers but against crappy teams. IN the bowl games, the other defenses held those same Michigan opponents to even better defensive numbers.

Nevermind, the time clock ticking down even though time was stopped by the officials, in the final seconds of the game.

I have myself at 15-5 and I know I lost to Tometom.

Week 3 looks extremely tough, at least for me. I did my first run through for easy games and only found two.

I pray I am not in last place this week.

I screwed up and missed selecting my pick for the Mississippi St @ LSU game. Would you so kind to select LSU for me.

Thanks

They aren't supposed to be easy!!! Hahaha

Good, I have my picks in before tometom, now we see if he copies me.

Or maybe it is just great minds think alike.

Last week, our only difference was the California San Diego State, which was the last game. If California would have won I would have won the week because all of you had San Diego State.

I just do my own dart throwing. I threw four darts this week all on the visiting teams.

Three pickers start off 0-1 by taking Arkansas St*. There is an asterisk as one didn't pick the game they couldn't possibly get their picks in on time while they were creating a bunch of other posts.

 

[HuskerinBig10]

I need a lot of bandaids.

My picks are bleeding real bad.
