    Got my hurricane shutters put up, and ready to try to hold on with Milton bearing down on me... Ugh. I have a feeling that I won't be watching much football this weekend. Also, was supposed to be in the keys fishing, but that's not happening.

    Enough doom and gloom... time to get picking! This week looks to be another tough one. I'm putting my picks in early as my power/internet will probably be out soon, which makes picking this week even tougher.

    Here are this week's match-ups:

    Washington @ Iowa
    Georgia Tech @ UNC
    Penn State @ USC
    California @ Pittsburgh
    Cincinnati @ UCF
    Ole Miss @ LSU
    Ohio State @ Oregon
    Syracuse @ NC State
    ISU (Iowa State) @ West Virginia
    Kansas State @ Colorado

    *** Picks are due at noon on Saturday

    Good luck to everyone, and as always, GO GATORS!!!

    Picking these without doing much research... although after last week, that might not be a bad thing! :D

    Also, if I'm without internet before Realty's contest is up, I want 100 on each of Tennessee and LSU. I should be alright, but you never know.

    I'll be posting my picks sometime today because we expect to lose power, landline and internet Wednesday night.
    I, of course am in Ocala.
    What's your location @SmootyGator? We're at the very end of a Duke Energy power grid and even though our SD has underground utilities, the transformer that feeds us is on a county road with 2 miles of old oak trees hanging over the lines. We lose power anytime a thunderstorm comes through.
    Stay safe everybody!!

    Thanks Smooty! Stay safe!

    I'll tag @gatordavisl since he is handling Realty's contest this week while Realty rides out the hurricane too.

    Picking two west coast teams against the odds. Probably will regret it.
    Hope everyone weathers this storm.

    I'm in Riverview, which is SE of Tampa Proper. As of now, it's about the worst spot to be given that I'm a little bit inland. The track just moved a bit south though... I'm watching this thing like a hawk...

    We know several people in the Tampa area and are praying for everybody down that way. Our son is in Orlando and they're looking at Cat 2 Thursday midday, I think. Ocala is supposed to get 6-10 inches of rain, but the worst winds will be south of the eyewall. Milton is a bad dude!!
