A small reminder of the ground rules: Each week, I'll put up a list of games being played that week with a prediction. Then, you can put down your prediction. We'll see how well we do as the weeks go along. I'll even keep a running total for everybody. It will be much easier to do it week by week because, can you really know how good WVU is going to be in week 6 (you'll have a pretty good idea by week 5)? Below is a list of several games during week 2. Let me know what you think.
1) South Carolina at Vanderbilt - SEC game - I choose South Carolina.
2) Georgia Tech v. Boston College - ACC game - I think I'll go with GT on this one.
3) West Virginia at East Carolina - I choose WV.
4) Northwestern at Duke - I choose Duke.
5) Miami at Florida - I choose Florida.
6) Stanford at Arizona St. - I choose Az. State.
7) Miami-Oh at Michigan - I choose Michigan.
8) Ole Miss at Wake Forest - I choose Wake.
9) Idaho St. at Idaho - I choose Idaho.
10) California at Washington St. - I choose California.

Ok, I would have definitely picked Vandy because Gambitt said SC would destroy them.....that is why they play the game. Anyway, here goes the rest w/ a 1 game handicap, but I guess that is erased since you all picked SC over Vandy. The Rest:
Georgia Tech
WVU
Northwestern (Big Ten bias, who me?)
Florida
ASU
scUM
Wake Forest
Idaho
Cal
Won't gain much ground on you this week, but I am looking forward to next week!
Way to go for those that picked Vandy. Who could have seen that coming? Vandy hasn't beat a ranked SEC on their home field in 10 years. But, Vandy did beat SC last year, so maybe I shouldn't have overlooked them. I have to agree with seabass about the OBC (ol' ball coach)
Pete,
Glad to see you back to your old self again, picking on poor little me earns you no stripes lol!
Attucus,
Vandy not winning in 10 years against a ranked opponent was exactly my thinking. However I knew it had to happen sooner or later, I was just hoping for later.
Spurrier should be fired for this loss! He better be glad he's a S.C. coach and not at LSU or he'd been fired immediatly after the game!
Pete,
I also wanted to add that if you listened to me more you might be sitting above.500 right now lol!
Just like last season had you listened I could have saved you lots of money and a painful ride home when I told you LSU's D was more than OSU was ready for. J/J it was a great game to be honest.
Good luck to your Buckeyes next weekend, I'm sure I don't need to say that for this weekends game.

Nos,
You need to start missing picks on purpose darn it! I refuse to be in third again by the end of Sat. If you refuse to listen to my demand I'll have to personaly give Bo a call in Lincoln and have him purposely lose the game this year to OU. Don't make me make that call buddy!
gambitxx: I already kicked Bo's ####....... in a golf tournament. Good news? He isn't a part-time golf coach. Bad news? He is about as friendly as the Customer Service Rep at the United baggage claim department in Chicago's O'Hare Airport. On the other hand they aren't paid to be friendly, they are paid to win. Just like your/our boy Les Miles. Then again, Vince Lombardi wasn't exactly the most 'personable' guy on the planet either.
Nos,
Yeah I met Bo once, My cousin was the K for the Tigers just a few seasons ago. You might remember him as he played Baseball also for LSU...Chris Jackson.
