Sure hope someone went less than 12-8.

I got slaughtered in going 2 of 6 in last night's games.

Think JJM is the loser at 9-11. He is usually good for saving everyone by his bad picks

13-7, Solid mediocrity. Remember when the Huskers were mediocre?

I got you at 12-8

just now doing pickems, no Texas - USC, i mean i'm sure it's obvious who will win, but still.

I cant really say why that didnt make the list. Lots of changes and confusion with my list of games with all the cancellations due to the hurricane in Florida. I for some reason lost it in the muck of all my crossouts.

I doubt any of us would have selected Texas. I would have taken USC, but then I picked Missouri, Kansas State, Nebraska, .........

I was surprised to not see Tennessee/Florida on there. That would have split picks somewhat. I figured Jed didn't want to lump too many games into one time-slot.
I doubt anyone would have picked tejas, so I see why they weren't there.

I went back and recounted. You are right. I suck

At the time that I posted the games the Tenn/Florida game was still in limbo so I didn't put it on there.

This week will separate the Men from the Ladies.

I aim to be a Man.

Not too bad for one who picks based on no research or knowledge of most of the teams.
I'll never win by tie breaker because I never know who the players are.

Every week I guess. Every game. If it ain't one of the elites or Nebraska then I am flying blind.

It don't take much to have that crash and burn week tho. I'm good for at least one a year.
That late Saturday night when I'm praying to the CFB gawds for JJM or Pops to save me.

True. I've had a couple over the years. I think last year I finished first one week and last the next.

My wife and I leave on Friday to visit our son for his 20th birthday. Hence, my picks go down today.

I just want to thank Jed for doing the pick ems and to also go jump in a lake since I am so far down the pecking order in the current standings.
