Weekly Upset Picks Contest

[Misanthrope]

Boise State for 7 points and a lot of pissed off rednecks in Georgia.

 

[Cincinnatibuck]

Notre Dame

 

[dernbuck]

San Diego State

 

[Dryden]

TCU over Okies

sonofabitch ... 26 1/2 is a helluva start.

I was seriously thinking about picking this one because I figured OK would stumble through rebuilding, but I talked myself out of it when Herbie talked up OK on the radio after attending an OK practice. Dammit Herbie ... you just cost me 26 1/2!!!

Good pick, HUB.

 

[HUBRIDER]

Thanks, no place to go but down.

 

[cincibuck]

Whoa! sorry BB, but I didn't see this till today. Put me down as picking Fla State just so I get in under the gun.

god damn csu has no defense.

 

[BB73]

Mike Stoops really should have gone for it on 4th down and 3, with under 3 minutes left, on Utah's 42 yard line. Idiot cost me a shot at 7 points.

Bad week for the Stoops boys.

 

[ScriptOhio]

God damn San Diego State just sucked.
I hope their "sucking" continues on the 17th.

Here are the games for Week 2. If you didn't play in week 1, don't worry, most of us got zero points, so go ahead and join the contest. Just pick one underdog, and if they win the game straight up, you get the number of points that were the spread. If your team covers the spread but loses the game, you get no points. Week 1 standings are a couple posts earlier.

Week 2 point spreads (I will try to update games with no line later)
