SmootyGator's Pick'em - Week 1

Welcome to Week 1 of the inaugural Pick’Em Challenge!!! Hopefully this ends up being as fun as I think it can be! Without further ado, here are the game selections for Week 1:


Fresno St. @ Purdue

California @ North Texas

North Carolina @ South Carolina

UTSA @ Houston

South Alabama @ Tulane

Northwestern @ Rutgers

LSU @ FSU


As expected, the selection for this week isn’t the best, but I’m hoping this will be the worst week in terms of matchups and number of games available.


For the complete rules, see the thread I started last week (sorry, don't know how to link), Edit: [See Below] but here’s a quick rundown for those that are already familiar:


Pick 5 winners form 5 different matchups of the games listed above (No two teams from the same matchup).

List winners in order of confidence from top to bottom.

In you picks post, make picks first, any additional commentary comes after (or separate post).

Picks are due by noon Saturday.

First 40 picks will be guaranteed a spot for the season.


I’ll be making my picks in the first reply as an example of format.


Good luck to everyone!!!
