Stanford @ Washington State
Colorado State @ Colorado

OU will beat BYU by at least 40. Boise State is gonna trounce Oregon.

[pkbpkb81]

Boise State is gonna trounce Oregon.

You know I am thinking the same thing only because if you look at the line movement. Most of the betting money has gone on Oregon.


The line opened at bsu-6 or 5.5 depending where you look it is now bsu-4

Normally for every .5 point a line moves is a million more dollars that went the other way.



now some books have been know to move there lines around just to with betters, but for the looks of all the line movement all the money is on Oregon and if they were to cover or win out right than Vegas would take a small bath.


The books don't lose like that very often, so I may lay 2 bucks on bsu.

another weird fact, texas hasnt had a one game winning streak vs OU since 1951, theyve tied but since 51 it hasnt been

ou win
texas win
ou win

[Brutalis]

Brutalis I think we should just go week-by-week picking winners

1 point for 1 correct pick

make sure the picks are in previous to the entire week

then at the end of the season we will ask if its cool for the winner to have a spur for being top picker...i guess what i'm saying is I agree with your idea

yeah there are spreads to think about too. . .

Maybe Kori can set up a vbookie log for everyone's win/loss record on spread college football bets we already normally do

then whoever has most wins in those bets is the champ

Get a thread pinned for the leader boards that can be edited weekly for updates somehow?

down for whatever ideas

Once we hit bowl games that's when I think we should make games worth 2 points or more. That ensures no tie. Or if we have a good number at the top have a playoff.. but I'm thinking way ahead

I can log the picks and make a thread for the results considering this idea came late

[Brutalis]

And because I can I am using this thread for SEC predictions

SEC West-
Alabama
LSU
Arkansas
Ole Miss
Auburn
MSU

SEC East-
Florida
Tennessee
Georgia
South Carolina
Vanderbilt
Kentucky

[symple19]

Berry is a meast. Mays has the measurables but Berry has the ball hawking instincts.

[johngateswhiteley]

sheesh...ohio state plays like this and SC will their up. though, i expect a better effort next weekend.

[IronMexican]

This is definitely the best week 1 of college football I ever saw. A lot of good games all day today. Navy vs OSU, Iowa vs NIU, OU vs BYU, VT vs Bama. Never seen a week 1 this good.

[Texas Chili Dog]

If I tabulated all the picks correctly, CaptMike and 4cc are currently tops with 10 correct picks out of 13. Samikeyp and myself are next with 9 of 13. Two games are left obviously.
