Stanford. Since it's a Friday game I gotta get this in now or I'll forget.

7 people in, 7 different picks. This is fun.

Every single player has a different choice. This is cool. Don't let it be said that we are lemmings here!

This has been the hardest week to pick so far for me. I feel big upset brewing, but I'm just not sure which one it will be.
But...gotta pick.

Iowa State (which is a total gut pick because they stink)

We have the board pretty much covered--which, of course, means that it will be yet another team that has that major upset or two.

Thought I had posted. My pick was UNC over FSU

Starting to look like your guts might be right 42-28 4:30 to go in the third.

Dang. So close.

Well, I finally got one right.

[Darrell KSR]

Missed by a tad. If a tad is 39 points.

Jinxed yourself, perhaps?

Wake Forest

Two bad teams, but the least bad team won--which, unfortunately, was UNLV.

Fresno St

Blow-out city, nicely done. Winner by 18 points. Nice. Solid +5.5 point winner.

Give me Central Fl over East Carolina

After losing 52-6, the Aggies rebounded to beat the Ragin' Cajuns. I grab +6.5 here.

New Mexico St

Your ship was sunk when they didn't score until the 4th quarter.

Covered the spread, but did not win the game. That's why they call it "Stupid Underdog Picks."

Wisconsin

Great pick here, 17-point win for their 1st win of the season. Did not see that coming, but Lfbj00 surely did. Give him the +6 points.

Hawaii

Chollie would've enjoyed you getting this one right. But maybe Tom Herman will appreciate you not.

Texas

Bad, bad team, apparently. With LSU upheaval, was worth taking a flyer. I'm in a "pick 'em" contest with 35 friends and we pick 20 games ATS every week. I went the other way, thinking that Ed Orgeron would motivate the heck out of the players. Then I chickened out when I saw Leonard Fournette was not going to play (we can change games until gametime). So I didn't play them at all.

Long story to get to the punchline: no soup (points) for you.

Missouri

Wow, I did not follow the game live, so all I knew was that it was a close game. Little did I know that Baylor would outscore them 17-0 in the 4th quarter to win this game. Crazy.

And Kingcat quietly nails another. We were watching the game live, and I was conflicted--hate anything benefitting UNC-CH due to their massive institutional academic cheating program, but enjoyed the comeback. Great pick, give the man a huge +12 for the weekly win.

Hilarious that you quote one of my favorite Seinfeld episodes on me there Darrell! I think that was my worst Stupid Underdog pick ever!

Funny! Yeah, that was out of the norm. Almost always in the ballpark of an upset, but not that time.
