CUBS WIN! Oh, wrong sport. Let’s see who else can win, other than the “Queen of the Pigskin Picks”. Or, should I say “Princess” to keep with the P alliteration? Anyway, kbells won again (#5) and picked a B1G 10 game for the tie breaker. I picked the other games based on nothing more than fan favorites or my feelings. Get those guesses in by 10:00 PM EDT Friday when Boise State takes the field.

Another week, another chance at fame without fortune. Okay, it’s only Wandering Views fame, anyway. Pick the winners of these ten college football games, and guess closest to the score of the tie breaker, and all this can be yours! Just think, an opportunity many will miss, mainly because they are more interested in other things like Pokémon Go or presidential debates. Have at it, just get the guesses in before 12 NOON Saturday. Will Travis 3-peat? Will Kbells win for her 3rd time? Find out later.

1. 1. North Texas @ Army

2. 2. UMass @ So. Carolina

It’s Autumn and leaves are falling. It’s week 7 in college football, and some teams’, hopes for a good bowl bid are falling. Seven is a lucky number, so maybe those teams will get lucky and win. And maybe you’ll guess the winners correctly in all ten of the games listed below and win! No prize, just bragging rights and the opportunity to pick the next tie breaker game. Ricky Weaver’s son Travis won last week, and his dog, “Presidential Candidate Arnold Weaver”, picked an SEC showdown for this week. Pick the winner and score of that game. Get those guesses in by 12 NOON Saturday, October 15, 2016.

And so it goes on. Another week of college football is upon us. Here are your ten games. You know the rules. The first game is another Friday night game, this time featuring a Pickled Pigskin favorite from Idaho.

Week 5. By now some teams are out of the running for the big prize, like LSU and Notre Dame. Can they salvage something of the season? Find out Saturday. For now, guess the winners of the following ten games, including a Tiger match-up in Baton Rouge and an Irish visit with the Orange. Also, Tychicus chose the other Red River Rivalry for the tie breaker with the Cowboys hosting the Longhorns. Chose the winner and guess the score on that game. It could get you the opportunity for bragging rights.

Get your picks in by Friday evening 9:00 PM EDT!

  1. #7 Stanford @ #10 Washington-Friday night lights in Seattle which will have a deciding factor in the PAC 12.

  2. Navy @ Air Force – The first in the Commander in Chief trophy games.

  3. #11 Tennessee @ #25 Georgia – Can the Volunteers continue to dominate other SEC teams? The Dawgs at least get the home field.

  4. Purdue @ Maryland – I thought Chas would prefer this one over the South Carolina game against Texas A&M.

  5. #8 Wisconsin @ #4 Michigan – The big game in the B1G 10.

  6. Mizzou @ LSU – Two SEC Tigers who haven’t had much to roar about lately.

  7. #3 Louisville @ #5 Clemson – Can Louisville keep up its trend of bringing down top teams?

  8. Utah State @ #24 Boise State – Since everyone picks the Broncos when I have them here, I thought I’d include them again.

  9. Notre Dame @ Syracuse – The Irish were embarrassed by Duke last week at home. Can they regroup on the road?

10.Choose winner and final score Tie Breaker: #22 Texas @ Oklahoma St. – The Longhorns are ranked again. The Cowboys aren’t. Let’s see if that stays the same.

And here they are. Ten college football games featuring teams from all over the country and of every imaginable level of competency. We’ve got them right here, folks. The good, the mediocre, and the bad. Maybe even an ugly one. Pick the winners of the most games and you too could win an “ATTABOY/GIRL” from a kind, elderly gentleman, PLUS the opportunity to choose the next tie breaker game. Or you can brag about it on the blog. So have at it, folks. This opportunity only comes up once a week for 14 weeks every Fall.

Remember: guess the score of the tie breaker game as well as the winners of each game by NOON Saturday, September 24.

  1 #12 Georgia @ #23 Ole Miss

  2 #13 Florida State @ So. Florida

  4 Boise State @ Oregon State

  5 #19 Florida @ #14 Tennessee

10 Tie breaker: Iowa @ Rutgers Pick winner and final score

It’s week 2 in college football, so most of the top teams are playing “pushovers” (i.e.- smaller schools) this week, like Nevada at Notre Dame or Nichols State at Georgia. The small colleges do that knowing they are going to lose, but it gains them revenue. So the picks this week are mostly games of relative equals. We’ll start with the military schools and go from there. A few cross-state rivals play this week, mainly because they are not in the same conferences, so don’t play each other at the end of the season. 

Kbells won it last week, so she chose the tie breaker game. Get your predictions in by 12:00 Noon Eastern Daylight Time (that’s 11:00 am Central, 10:00 am Mountain Time and 9:00 am Pacific). Those overseas adjust for your time zone.

1. Georgia State @ Air Force: Can Georgia Southern survive the high altitude in Colorado?

2. UConn @  Navy: Huskies and Midshipmen. Can the dogs sink them?

3. Rice @  Army: Owls and Knights. Interesting. A nocturnal bird against a team with the word “night” in its name.

4. Wake Forest @  Duke: Demon Deacons vs Blue Devils. Is the winner the greater of two evils?

5. Iowa State @   Iowa: Cyclones and Hawkeyes. Have you heard about the prof at Iowa that thinks the mascot is too agressive? Yeah, Iowa City is the Liberal capitol of the state.

6. BYU @  Utah: Can the Cougars go 2-0 against the PAC-12?

7. Washington State @  Boise State: I know what one of you is going to say, so I’ll leave it to her.

8. Penn State @  Pittsburgh: A cat fight in the city of steel.

9. Maine @  Toledo: Just because I don’t think I have ever put in a game with Maine in it.

10. Tie Breaker–  NC State @  Eastern Carolina: It was kbells’ to choose, but you choose the winner and the final score.

It’s that time of year again. Are you ready for some football?

Pick the winners and the score of the tie breaker. NOTE: Deadline 7PM EDT Thursday, September 1, 2016. (There is no prize for winning, so don’t expect a new car or cash. Chas will give out the “Attaboy” after the winner is announced.)

1. So Carolina @ Vanderbilt (Thursday night)

2. #3 Oklahoma vs. #15 Houston

3. Mizzou @ West Virginia

4. #16 UCLA @ Tex A&M

5. #18 Georgia vs. #22 North Carolina

6. #20 So Cal vs. #1 Alabama

7. #2 Clemson @ Auburn

8. #10 Notre Dame @ Texas (Sunday night)

9. #11 Ole Miss vs. #4 Florida (Monday night)
