A good thing for me is that a Virginia Turkey's "good thing" is something he's 2 stories above the basement in! :P

But that is just me always looking on the bright side! :D

I guess the definition of a tossup is the fact that it could go either way (i.e., .500). I guess that's why I'm 1-3 :|

There are a few games where there are big swings...I see that the VT/Cincinnati is one of these....the board is split about in half on this game with pretty sizable confidence points being put up.

My downfall will be my loyalty to ACC teams in the picks...I don't think that VT has much offense and Cincy has the defense to match VT's...

I don't know your wife, but I would guess you get more chances to listen to her, than you do yourself. :D

My wife talks to me a lot. Then she says are you even listening to me - to which I reply - HUH! :lol: I get in more trouble that way, half the time I have no idea what I did.

That has got to be the weakest 4th place in history!

It will be interesting to see if the person picking the most games correctly will win the contest. I don't remember how it worked out last year.

Nice Razorhawk! That is looking pretty healthy.

I can't believe I put 26 points on Miami to win...and I cant stand Miami. I don't know how you lose to a team that can't throw the ball 10 ft. yes, to a very good runner, but he goes right through the line most times. How do you take it through the heart from a team that can't throw...and doesn't have Ron Dane :roll: !

Barring a great run from this point on, I am just about out of the running. With only having 6 wins at this point I just don't have enough potential points left to lose more than another three or four games and then they'd have to be low confidence ones.

I like the way WVU is lurking back in the pack with all those points still possible.

Wow, Northwestern should have won that game. Mizzu isn't very good. I thought they should have beaten Northwestern easy.
