It’s getting to be crunch time. Most teams have played half their games. Many are out of contention for anything but bragging rights in a rivalry game. The Top 10 teams keep losing, so the playoff picture looks interesting. And we have had only one repeat winner.
So without any further ado, here are your choices for Week 8. Mumsee picked the tie breaker since she won last time. Or should I say, since Idaho Mike won for her. Send in those entries before 9:30PM EDT Friday, 10/20/17.
1. #10 Oklahoma State @ Texas
2. Purdue @ Rutgers
3. Louisville @ Florida State
4. Idaho @ Mizzou (Hint: Both teams are really bad this year.)
5. Temple @ Army
6. Pitt @ Duke
7. #20 Central Florida @ Navy*
8. #11 Southern Cal @ Notre Dame (This is the only big showdown this week. Should be exciting to watch.)
9. Pillow Fight: BYU @ East Carolina (Both teams have records of 1-6)
10. Tie Breaker – Pick the winner and the score: Air Force @ Nevada
Here are my picks:
Cowboys wrangle the Longhorns
Boilermakers steam the Knights
Cardinals paint the Seminoles
Tigers arrest the Vandals
Knights bring down the Owls
Panthers exorcise the Blue Devils
Midshipmen win a joust against the Knights (I didn’t intend to have so many knights this week)
Trojans are bad luck for the Irish
Pirates make Cougars walk the plank
Falcons de-fang the Wolfpack 36-27
Um…actually, he picked the tie breaker, as written, the choice was made by proxy. I would make my selections now but I think I will wait until somebody gets back from Utah….
I just noticed that Debra and Aj picked the same result for the tie breaker. Well, it won’t matter, as it’s too late since the game was played last night. AJ and Debra were not the closest.
I also notice that mumsee didn’t get an entry, but since she posted her score choice for the tie breaker, i’ll let her pick the rest of the games as long as she does so by 12 noon EDT (10 Mountain time or 9 Pacific).
The results are in. And here they are without a lot of comment. Someone might think it’s rigged, though, because of who won and who got second highest.
8 correct AJ
7 – Peter L
6 – Tychicus, Kevin, and Janice
5 – Debra and Chas
1 – Mumsee (she posted her tie breaker guess when she posted Mike’s game choice in last week’s thread)
Okay, AJ. It’s all yours to choose: Dodgers or Astros? (Oh, wrong sport. Though I was hoping for a Yankees vs Cubs World Series.)

Does the asterisk after “Navy” mean something? Is it a hint who we should pick?

The asterisk is because of their team logo: Navy Midshipmen logo

By the way, the final score was 45-42 Air Force. Tychicus was closest.

Suckers. Ya’ll took Navy, me and Tychicus didn’t.
The asterisk was a clue, one that most of you apparently missed. 🙂

Peter,
Let’s go with the UAB Blazers vs. the Golden Eagles of Southern Mississippi.

Funny, I put the asterisk there but missed it as a clue.
