Mind you, I consider "a lot" to be pretty substantial, like 4-5 touchdowns.

Picks

BC > NC State - 10
Penn State > Notre Dame - 9
Georgia > South Carolina - 8
Nebraska > Wake - 7
Oklahoma > Miami - 6
LSU > VT - 5
Michigan > Oregon - 4
Auburn > South Florida - 3
Texas > TCU - 2
Boise > Washington - 1

I almost put the Georgia game as my 10 but couldn't do it - that said I was really pleasantly surprised by how good they looked last week.

my picks are in

don't remember what they are

it pained me to pick ou though [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I didn't put Texas as my most confident pick. If I thought it would help them win, I'd do it in a heartbeat though.

Clown also thought Marshall would beat Miami in Miami. Funny guy, that clown. That's almost as bad as thinking Appalachian State had a prayer against Michi ... oh wait.

Hmm.. so every weak I will pick at least one underdog, but I'm not sure I really like my underdog pick here.

But there is NO WAY IN HELL I pick OK over UM!!!

I've never really understood the logic to picking upsets. Sure, there usually is 1-2 a week ... but I find it's always more likely that you miss on YOUR upset pick, plus you miss the upset that does happen, and then you lose twice instead of once.

I could be metagaming here ...

If everyone just picked the favs, then it would just rely on the confidence factor.... and if everone just used the spread to determine that, this would be a boring exercise [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

OK, maybe I won't "ALWAYS" pick an upset, but usually there are games that I feel will swing the other way... like my Ga Tech pick last week.

BTW, I want to kick myself for accidentally unpicking Mizzou when making my confidence order last week.

This would be more interesting/difficult if it was done vs the spread rather than straight up.

Agreed. I think all-time I'm like 2 and 1,458 against the spread.
