Pick'M WEEK 8

[FallingRun84]

Not a game we Mountaineers wanted to lose. The new G5 teams have a 2-10 conference record. The only win over one of the P5 teams in conference is Houston over WVU. Just a disappointing and frustrating loss. We get a chance to bounce back against OKSU (4-2 / 2-1, same record as the Mountaineers. However, the last two weeks OKSU has wins over KSU and Kan.) 22 games on the slate this week. First game Thur 10/19 7:00PM. Tie Breaker total points scored OKSU vs WVU.

Just a place holder?

Yes. Have to get through 3rd cup of coffee prior to putting on my thinking cap.

I hate the morning after! Especially when losing the way we did, almost as bad as the 2022 Pitt pick 6 loss. I mean, drilling your own man on a punt return? Come on, man! I believe that is the second time this season that the same player has made a bone-head ST play that cost us. I am going to the UCF game next week, first time I've made a road trip in a long time, hope it turns out differently, but UCF handled OU right down to the wire yesterday. We'll see.

The sting is still bad even for the tie-breaker winner this week....ME! Pat on the back, I guess. @TugRiveer and I tied with 16 correct picks, but I had him by one point on the tie-breaker. Here's the rest of the numbers:

PLAYER NAME	CORRECT WEEK 8	CORRECTYTD	YTD/WIN %
FALLRUN	14	126	72.00%
EXPAT	16	125	71.43%
MICHHERD	14	125	71.43%
CHRISWV	13	119	68.00%
THE BELL	0	8	4.57%
TUGRIVEER	16	124	70.86%
WVCOOLER	15	123	70.29%
WESTBGVA	12	110	62.86%
DUBVEETEX	0	58	33.14%

This is also the mid-point of our 16 week season, 14 regular season weeks, Championship Week and Bowls, and the lead is slim and a second place tie. Lots of football to be played, good luck the rest of the way!
