That GA Tech/Clemson match up is an interesting one imo....actually saw them both in Clemson on a cool/cold night a few Novembers ago...was a great environment nonetheless.

Leave this slate with me for a few days...some real interesting match ups for a week 4 slate.

And that SC/KY match up...will resemble a Wake/Vandy game unfortunately.

Oh...I'm also super hopeful The Huskies absolutely CRUSH Zona...

LSU/Auburn AKA the "Which Coach With a National-Championship Game Appearance Gets Fired First?" Bowl.

Seems like many of you agree with me that Georgia has been playing like a team begging to get tagged, and will do so this week at Oxford.

A lot of people here quite rightly pointed out in August that Washington was one of this year's media bandwagon picks, along with Tennessee. Unlike the Volunteers, the Huskies haven't been tested yet. I'm not sure Arizona is the team to do it, but it'll be interesting to see how UW responds whenever they finally get pushed a bit.

 

[3xWVUenginEER]

less than 48 hrs Toronto.

Btw I agree on Washington. Go Huskies!

Close to Last call.

 

[3xWVUenginEER]

Closed.

 

[torontoeers]

Just got my new big screen installed outside for Saturdays game, and this debacle tonight is the test run...has GT ever even heard of offence??? I'd be hopping mad were I on their D crew...

 

[torontoeers]

Also...sometimes Palmer just needs to STFU! ...This is a hard thing for me to say as a Canadian :wink:...an insiteful comment followed by a bunch of complete nonsense to fill dead air and attempt to make a Clemson beat down seem interesting...where the heck is John Saunders ...the REAL college football comentating Canadian when ya need him?!?...DAMN! RIP John.

What do you mean "sometimes Palmer just needs to STFU"? When would you want him talking? I hate the Canadian Bachlor backup QB who is the ABSOLUTE WORST EVER broadcast partner for Brent Mussburger who is now demoted to the SEC network.

The only good thing I'll say about Palmer is he is Not Danny Kanell. I really don't like him.

Agree on Saunders. Good voice for college football.

 

[3xWVUenginEER]

Btw after 1 game, we're all tied for 1st place.

 

[torontoeers]

And......Georgia with their yearly complete dumpster fire of a performance...good grief!!!

 

[WVex-pat in GA]

And then... my gut said take Wisconsin but I looked at some stats and made the change to MSU. But my gut said take UGA too.

 

[3xWVUenginEER]

My only question left is can Butch Jones and the Vols blow another game to the Gators?

 

[3xWVUenginEER]

Never mind Florida has a vol transfer as a PR who fair caught the ball at the 1 YD line.

 

[3xWVUenginEER]

Update or Downdate depending on your picks

WVU (67 total)

Clemson

Wisky
Meatchicken Beat Iran
The Chapel Hill Cheaters beat North Korea
Ole Miss
Tennessee
Auburn-I will not pick LSU again!

Iowa State (is allowed to remain in the Big XII-sorry Northern Iowa and ND State U)

VA Tech-picked you, but wanted to be wrong
UVA-hate you and your band

 

[3xWVUenginEER]

Final winners

Kentucky
Baylor-they are vulnerable
A&M
Washington-if only the Dick had Jeff Casteel running his defense, he'd be undefeated. I guess he shouldn't have run him off then.

I went 10-5

CountryRoads went 11-4

Congrats to him and everyone else who played.

 

[WVex-pat in GA]

8 &7. Not a good week and changed by pick to MSU before the deadline, could been 9 & 6. I' m with you 3x, no more LSU.

I went 10-5 and you beat me on the points tie breaker.

I never would have dreamed SC would lose to UK.

 

[3xWVUenginEER]

So I won? With a tiebreaker?
Ok I'll take it.
Bout time.

As the season goes on I think the picking will get better, cause now everyone knows which schools have and don't have a qb. Also the weaknesses of teams get shown.

 

[countryroads89]

Georgia is over rated every year. It's frustrating to see two-loss teams in the top 25. A lot of people say, the rankings don't matter in the first five weeks, and they shouldn't. But the pollsters turn around and use that as justification for propping teams up. "Oh their losses were to top 25 teams". Vicious circle.
