Hello football fans. Your Pickled Pigskin Picker here. Hope you’re enjoying this early fall weather, even though it’s 90° here in the Mid-Mississippi Valley. Not really football weather, if you ask me. But you didn’t, and I said it any way. Oh, well. If you bothered to read this so far, you haven’t seen anything to do with the actual picks. So skip on down and see what’s in store this week, along with a title I’ve gone and given each game, mainly because the first game is actually called the Red River Showdown. Let’s see if Chas or Mumsee can get a third victory. Or maybe one of us other folks will get our chance to shine in the virtual glory of Pickledom
So, have at it. Just get those picks in by high NOON Eastern Time Saturday
1. The Red River Showdown: #19 Texas vs #7 Oklahoma @ the Cotton Bowl
2. The Swamp Rivalry: #5 LSU @ #22 Florida
3. The Other Florida rivalry?: Florida State @ #17 Miami
4. First Round Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy: Navy @ Air Force
5. “Because Mumsee Likes one of These Teams”: San Diego State @ Boise State
6. The “Who’s the Worst in Texas” game: UTSA @ Rice
7. A Game That Matters: #6 Notre Dame @ #24 Virginia Tech
8. “Who Doesn’t Want to be the Worst in the PAC-12”: California @ Arizona
9. Pillow Fight: Colorado State (1-4) @ San José State (0-4)
10. Tie Breaker (winner and final score): A team from Peter L’s State vs Chas’ State:

Missouri scored on it’s first possession. They then kicked on-side and SC recovered and scored.
Even I know better than that. Why on-side in the first quarter?

I hear that the Gamecock QB has injured his ankle. But I’m sticking with my pick.

We are terrible this year. Only four of our majority picks were right. Even our unanimous pick, Boise St., went down.

You’re correct, Kevin. The winner had 6 correct this time, again. And it was mumsee, again. She and Chas tied, but she was closer on the tie breaker.
Congratulations, ma’am. You are on a roll. It looks like either you or Chas is the going to be the best this year. So what’ll it be this time around?
The results:
Mumsee & Chas 6
AJ & Janice 5
Kevin and “you-know-who” 4
Idaho Mike and Kim 3

Sure, since I don’t remember where to look to find another choice. Though I keep telling Boise to go and they still have not gone.
