Here we go again. Last week we improved from Week 4 with the lowest score being 6 out of 10 instead of 3 for 10. We’ll see how this one turns out. The fall is flying by. With October comes the end of the baseball season and the beginning of basketball and hockey. It’s also the time when football gets interesting. Teams start playing within their conferences and the competition gets tougher. Of course, this year the powers that be tried to make it more interesting at the beginning by scheduling power houses against each other, instead of all the early games being great teams having a practice game against also-rans.  So, here are your choices this week.

Get those guesses in by Friday night, 10:00PM EDT.

  1. Boise State @ BYU

  2. Ole Miss @ #12 Auburn

  3. #13 Miami @ FSU

  4. AFA @ Navy

  5. Army @ Rice

  6. Arkansas @ South Carolina

  7. KSU @ Texas

  8. Arizona @ Colorado

  9. B1G 10 Pillow Fight: Illinois (0-1) @ Iowa (0-2) These are conference records.

10. Tie Breaker: Guess the winner and the score – Michigan State @ #7 Michigan

Kevin doesn’t know if his tie breaker choice will be good for that, but I think it’ll definitely be the decider this week, as anything can happen when the Spartans and Wolverines go at it.

  1. #2 Clemson @ #12 Virginia Tech

  2. Ohio @ UMass (Hint: Ohio is 3-1; UMass is 0-5)

  3. Ole Miss @ #1 Bama

  4. Iowa @ Michigan St

  5. #7 Georgia @ Tennessee

  6. Northwestern @ #10 Wisconsin

  7. Air Force @ New Mexico

  8. Colorado @ UCLA

  9. Pillow Fight: Akron 1-3 @ Bowling Green 0-4

10. Tie breaker – Pick the winner and the score: #5 Southern California @ #16 Washington 

Four. That is an even number. It is 3 + 1. We’ve had three weeks of these picks, and three different winners. Will this week make four of us? Or will there be a repeat.  Try it for yourself, folks. Tychicus was last week’s winner, so he picked a good game for the tie breaker. It won’t be easy this time. Oh, and for the ladies, I picked the Hawai’i game, since their mascot is the colorful Rainbow. I did that because in the past, some of the ladies chose their picks based on the team colors. So how could they go wrong with a Rainbow? (Should I mention their uniforms are green and black with white?)

Okay, on with the game. Post your choices by Noon EDT Saturday (that’s 9:00AM for the Pacific coasters).

  1 Texas Tech @ Houston

  2 Army @ Tulane

  3 Duke @ North Carolina

  4 Cincinnati @ Navy

  5 #17 Mississippi St @ #11 Georgia

  6 Notre Dame @ Michigan State

  7 Hawai’i @ Wyoming

  8 UCLA @ Stanford

  9 Pillow Fight: Georgia State (0-2) @ Charlotte (0-3)

10 Tie breaker: Pick winner and final score: #16 TCU @ #6 Oklahoma State

Week 3 is here. Janice is not available to pick a tie breaker so she deferred to me. This week has a pillow fight of sorts. Purdue goes to Mizzou. Both teams have records of 1-1, but have been struggling the last couple of years. Let’s see which one can overcome the blahs. Sorry this intro is not up to past efforts, but who reads this part, anyway?

The first game is Friday night @ 10:15 EDT, so pick before then.

  1. Baylor @ Duke

  2. #23 Tennessee @ #24 Florida

  3. Notre Dame @ Boston College

  4. Oregon State @ #21 Washington State

  5. #12 LSU @ Mississippi State

  6. Kentucky @ So. Carolina

  7. #3 Clemson @ #14 Louisville

  8. Idaho @ Western Michigan

  9. Pillow Fight: Pur-don’t @ Mizz-ew

10. Tie breaker: Pick winner and score – Arizona @ UTEP

PS- There is no prize, especially no car to win. You get bragging rights and the chance to pick the next tie breaker game. Nothing else. Nada. Zip. Zilch.

Week 2 is here. Some very interesting games in store, including several Top 25 matchups, the biggest being the Big 12’s Oklahoma traveling to the B1G’s Ohio State. Tychicus chose the tie breaker this week.

Have at it, folks.

Championship Week is here! No, not  the national championship, but the conference ones. Pick the winners for one last hurrah, folks. Ricky picked the tie breaker as the quasi Big 12 championship game, since that conference doesn’t have an actual championship game yet. But the title is on the line as the two top teams play each other. Make sure you guess the score of this one, as well as the winner.

Get your guesses in by Friday, 12/2 @ 7:00 P.M. EST.

  1. PAC 12: #8 Colorado vs. #4 Washington

  2. American Athletic: Temple @ #19 Navy

  3. Conference USA: Louisiana Tech @ Western Kentucky

  4. SEC: #1 Alabama vs.. #15 Florida

  9. Another Big 12 (Call it the consolation game for 4th place): Kansas St @ TCU

10. TIE BREAKER – Pick winner and final score – Big 12: #10 Oklahoma St @ #9 Oklahoma

It’s here, folks. Rivalry Week (said in a deep voice with lots of reverberation, but not yelled like a furniture store ad). The one week when national rankings take second place to beating that arch rival. The team with the better record is basically even with the team who hasn’t won much, especially if the game is at the team with the worse record. So, pick carefully, as you never know what could happen this week.

I won the last contest, so I picked the tie breaker. I usually pick my hometown team, but decided to make the tie breaker more of a challenge. So pick the winner of the Michigan-Ohio State game, and the final score.

Also, most of these games are Friday, so get the picks in before NOON EST on Friday, November 25. No national rankings this week since it’s Rivalry Week, except for the tie breaker. (If you want the rankings, go to http://www.espn.com/college-football/rankings.)

  1. Washington @ Washington State

  2. Boise State @ Air Force -This isn’t a rivalry that I’m aware of, but Mumsee enjoys having this one in the mix.)

  3. Nebraska @ Iowa – These two haven’t always been rivals, but since Nebraska joined the B1G 10, it is becoming a major rivalry, especially since Iowa State hasn’t been much of a challenge for the Hawkeyes lately.

  4. Georgia Tech @ Georgia

  5. Mississippi State @ Ole Miss

  6. Florida @ Florida State

  7. Virginia @ Virginia Tech

  8. Auburn @ Alabama (I believe I could call this one “Kim vs Kbells”, but they might be on the same side. I could be wrong on that.)

  9. Notre Dame @ USC

10. Tie Breaker-pick winner and final score: #3 Michigan @ #2 Ohio State (The winner just might end up in the National Championship Game.)
