I just noticed I’m the only one that picked UCF to beat Auburn. Stupid or genius lol?

I don't think it's going to happen, but it's a good pick.
a) UCF may be better than Auburn. They ARE undefeated.
b) Even if not better, they may be more motivated. Could be that hunger to finish undefeated, versus the "crap, we blew a chance to be in the playoffs and we end up playing a directional school in an exhibition game that doesn't matter."
I like the pick. Just not enough to pick it myself.

No upsets the last two games. Starting to even out a little bit.

Wow, Temple really mowed over FIU.

With Wyoming and South Florida winning, add two more favorites. Got a hot streak going now for favorites.

No one? Come on, it was the Bad Boy Mower’s Bowl.

Yeah, but my big horse, UAB let me down.
But man what a ride with the Blazers this year.

For a team that had not had a football program....at all...since 2014, they were magnificent. For the 15 players who stuck around from the 2014 team just to play on the 2017 team, kudos to them, and all the best. I hope that is highlighted on their resumes and prospective employers see that kind of loyalty.

Fresno State the only dog to win in the last two days. As only a 1-point underdog, not much of an upset, and nobody bothered to pick them for the lowly one point.
Games kick in seriously starting tonight. Lot of potential points on the board.

Have Purdue tonight while West Virginia laid and egg.

Michigan State with an upset win, but no correct picks from last night.
Big weekend starting today. Could see some movement.

New Mexico State the only dog that won yesterday, in overtime, but nobody had that one. Leaderboard remains unchanged.

Kingcat hits the leaderboard with a nice upset pick. Surprised by this one, but you weren't.

3-for-3 so far today on upsets, pending the Oklahoma v Georgia and Clemson v Alabama games. I don't think we have any picks for either of the dogs, so this will conclude it. Let's see who had correct picks today.
So. Carolina
UCF
South Carolina

Congrats to Mickintheham, Catfan73 and Darrell KSR. Each had 2 of 3 correct picks, and finished with 15 points, more than a touchdown upset for each of the two picks (average).
Thanks to all for a great Oledon SUP regular season and Bowl Game Bonanza, folks. Makes it a lot of fun.

I’m glad to have gotten one, though I regret chickening out of the UCF pick
Thanks for running it Darrell

Appreciate the organizing of the game Darrell! Goose egg for me on the Bonanza, but enjoyed the regular season.

Stinger, Catfan73, Mick, Flounder, Pappy, and all, you are welcome. I really enjoy the games. I often take a look at what you guys post during the weekend as games are going on and think about whether you'll be "right" or not. Just adds something more fun to it.
Stinger, you had a great regular season. Thanks for giving the rest of us a chance on the Bowl Game version!
See you all bright and early in late August.
