    I don't know why anyone would include Mizzou/A&M in their picks. Out of all the games.....this one to me seems the hardest (and thus with the most risk) to predict.

    It also looks like the OleMiss/Carolina game could be a wrecking ball, should Carolina get the win.

    Thoughts?

    I don't know why more aren't betting on Pitt. They've looked good so far this year. Their freshman QB Eli Holstein looks really good.

    Yeah, the Ole Miss/USCjr pick is a bit scary, but a lot of us have put big points on Ole Miss. South Carolina blasted Kentucky and then Kentucky played Georgia tough and upset Ole Miss at their place. I just can't fathom Ole Miss' offense being held down 2 games in a row and think they will come out for the game with a major chip on their shoulder. Plus, the oddsmakers have them favored by 9, which I think is the biggest spread among those we pick from. If Ole Miss loses, it will shake up the standings some for sure.
    And I stayed away from the Texas A&M/Missouri game, too.

    They're offensive coordinator is Kade Bell, Kerwin's son.

    Contenders or pretenders? Missouri and Texas A&M will find out soon
    Two of the more intriguing teams in college football will meet Saturday at Kyle Field when No. 9 Missouri visits No. 25 Texas A&M (noon, EDT, ABC).
    Missouri is unbeaten and ranked inside the top 10, but Saturday’s game will be the first foray for the Tigers outside the friendly confines of Faurot Field. The Texas A&M game will also mark the first time the Tigers have faced an opponent with more talent this season, at least if you subscribe to the 247 Talent composite team talent rankings, which have the Aggies at No. 10, Tigers at No. 19.
    While Missouri is a mystery because of what it still has to prove, Texas A&M is intriguing because it is battle-tested and better for it.

    There weren't a lot of good matchups for me to pick from this week. I try my best to include P4 type teams as opposed to the directional schools that no one really follows. Normally I wouldn't have a game like Miss/USCe included as the line is around 9 or 10, but everyone here knows enough about the teams and realize that USCe has a decent shot at the upset. I doubt many will pick USCe in the pool, but I suspect a lot of people might stay away from it all together, or put Miss at the bottom of their list. We'll see what happens...

    You did nothing wrong, Smoot. In fact - you're doing a fantastic job with it!

    I was only editorializing on the confliction one faces in selecting a winner in some of these games.

    No, I mean I thought he was on their team once upon a time. At any rate, he's a very good QB.
