    Yeah Smooty?!? WTF?!? Add Florida as an option only. Can’t pick LSU. Let’s see where the balls are.

    Close spreads only! 14 is WAY to high! Too many would pick LSU.

    Most (if not all) of the spreads this week are under 5. Usually, there are a few 5-6.5 pointers, but this week is tight. Might see some low numbers this week. Everyone seems to be picking Michigan though, seems like that's the hot pick this week. Still not sure what I'm going to do....

    I'm not sure what I'm gonna a do either yet. This was a good attempt to flush me out Smooty. These games could go either way. When I see a favorite I'd pick I then realize they are on the road and that may influence the result. You never know with CFB. And then there's that one weekend we are still due..... the weekend where a plethora of ranked teams lose to teams they have no business losing to. Will that be this weekend? Who knows smh

    Yes! Slight road favorites are basically toss-ups!!! When I make my weekly selections, after I go through and pick all of the SEC/high profile matchups that I can, I fill the rest in with those... This week, all of the good match-ups were already tight, so it's going to be very interesting!

    You totally missed my entire post. The point was you could only pick Florida and not LSU. We’d at least see who thought we really had a chance at the upset.

    You ain't been watching these picks panel threads very long I see. A ton of us always pick UF when we shouldn't, it the homerism in us. This year I tried staying away from UF, i went against my gut and picked them last week for 250 , after news of shemar out I was gonna remove them all together but said F it kept them but reduced it to only a 100. I can't be invested in them for 2 reasons.

    Right now it's "Just win" I don't care by how much. And that doesn't mesh with the spread.

    It would certainly be interesting against a 14 point spread in Death Valley if anybody’s homerism was worth 5 points. Talk about calling ur shot if it worked tho. Anything is possible. You think many Arky fans thought they would come into the Swamp with a new coordinator and eke out a win?

    Did you hear the "story" about NC State's QB? Lol... :D;)

    I still dropped Wake down a few notches, becasue you never know how good the NC State's second string QB is...

    I noticed a ton of picks for NC State and Cal. That could be a leader-board changer thing. But not for me... no such luck, and I'm too far behind. :(
