rules:
Pick the underdog in one game. If that team wins you get the spread points. Points will be tallied on a weekly basis.

example:

game:
9/1 3:30 ET At West Virginia -23 Western Michigan

post: Western Michigan +23 vs. West Virginia.
If Western Michigan wins, you earn 23 points for that week.

I'll start off:

Arizona +4 over BYU.

I'm surprised the Wildcats are the underdog, but the game is in Provo.

i thought gameday was decent, Lane Stadium was pretty loud - it's a smaller venue of course. They paid tribute to the victims and the school rather than to the shooter (unlike CNN and Fox will do tonight). ECU is holding their own, Sean Glennon is absolutely horrible. that's all for now

haha come on now, Penn State isn't losing to FIU. West Virginia getting upset would be the biggest one of the entire year.

I'm a dumbass :frustrate
I didn't read it as carefully as I thought I did and I posted a pick to cover the spread (thats why i posted WVU and PSU). Oh well, you can just put me 23 pts in the hole now and get it over with.

if there's a dog i think will win it's definitely GT

you can change it, since that game hasn't started... but pick a game that has not begun.

edit: Yankees3 I changed your pick to GT +1 over Irish

also, there is no losing points in the scoring system (per same scoring system as last year). Either you get the spread points or you get 0.
You are encouraged to pick the big upsets. We should award 3 or 5 points for picking an upset, regardless of how big or small.

Appalachian state is exposing that slow Michigan Defense -- just like USC did on January 3rd. This is funny, Mike Hart and the line will have to control the ball if they are to beat App. State

LLOYD CARR HAS TO GO.
NOW.
TODAY.
NO POST GAME SPEECH, JUST RUN DOWN THE TUNNEL AND OUT OF THE STADIUM.

:gore:
if Lloyd either:
a) Wins the Big 10
b) Beats Ohio State
c) Beats Northwestern

he should get a contract extension... obviously i'm kidding, the standards at that program have dropped so much and they don't even realize it. irreparable damage was done today and the subsequent years of recruiting will reflect this. the only worse thing that could possibly happen is a loss to Notre Dame haha.

as a sidebar, Chad Henne is a 4 year starter... pathetic. I know Michigan scored 32points today - but Henne was often given a short field. The Michigan Line outweighed the App. State line by as much as 105lbs at certain positions.

this is the biggest embarrassment in the history of college football.

hail to the victors

lost in this is how well App. State played, they dominated Michigan in every facet of the game (minus a few long runs by Hart). In fact, they allowed Michigan to hang around. This game could have been 45-21. If they played again, I'd seriously bet on The Mountaineers.

Until Ohio State loses to a high school team or Michigan wins a national championship, I can never get involved in another college football argument. My cousin who went to Syracuse called to talk **** and I had to sit there and take it. Do you have any idea what it feels like to be laughed at by a Syracuse fan?!??!?

Makes last year's Rose Bowl win by SC not worth much, IMO.

Although - that has no bearing on this season.

Nah, Michigan lost a lot of players on Defense to the pros... overrated guys like Leon Hall, mind you.

USC shut them down on both sides of the ball.

it's just a reflection of Lloyd Carr

the program and its fans just need to separate themselves from Lloyd Carr and effectively, perhaps fairly, scapegoat him
Carr can't beat Tressel anyway, so he should have been gone awhile ago i feel

If Michigan fires Carr and hires Les Miles (as is rumored around here) - I'm not sure that's much of a step up.
It is a step up - but not a whole lot.

haha Les Miles and Lloyd Carr are the same coach, only Miles has more talent to work with. Why would Miles leave LSU though? He inherited such a great program that he probably never deserved...

LSU will be awesome all year, Flynn is better right now than Russell will ever be

FAWK, I didn't read the directions carefully. I hope you all don't think I was drugged up and really expected UAB to win :D

BTW, what the hell was that Michigan ? Lost to a 1-AA team at home on the year when you're supposed to be the favorite for the Big-10 !

I wouldn't be surprised if Lloyd Carr gets death threats LOL. Michigan had a shot to grab Jeff Tedford a few years ago but they decided to stick with Carr.

I'm just fired up about Cal ! The biggest win in Cal's modern football history since we knocked off USC 34-31 a few years ago.

I expected a 10 point win but it was good to get his pleasant surprise. It feels good to beat an SEC team at last ! It was looking even until the second half when Justin Forsett broke out.

easy pick for me this week!

crap, otherwise i'd definitely pick this Cinci upset.
There is no reason why Oregon State should be traveling to Cinci on a Thursday Night on Week 2. And now the Beavers are going to lose by 30

*Remember to only pick an upset (the underdog), Baylor is the underdog in the Baylor-Rice game. Not sure if you knew that, but your pick for that game would be for Baylor to upset Rice - for which you would be awarded 6 points - if Baylor won. just making sure
