Postby Eric » Thu Jul 31, 2014 2:49 am

You guys know the drill! Pick the games and get the points. I'm happy to kick off another season. I like to start the first pick'em thread well in advance of the start of the season, but it is approaching. Because of the time lapse, I'll use games from Thursday-Monday. Good luck this year.

Deadline: Thursday, August 28 5:59 PM ET

Games:

1. Texas A&M at South Carolina (Thurs.)
2. Tulane at Tulsa (Thurs.)
3. Boise State vs. Ole Miss (Thurs., in Atlanta)
4. Temple at Vanderbilt (Thurs.)
5. Rutgers vs. Washington State (Thurs., in Seattle)
6. BYU at UConn (Fri.)
7. Bowling Green at Western Kentucky (Fri.)
8. Colorado State vs. Colorado (Fri., in Denver)
9. Penn State vs. UCF (in Ireland)
10. UCLA at Virginia
11. West Virginia vs. Alabama (in Atlanta)
12. Cal at Northwestern
13. Arkansas at Auburn
14. Clemson at Georgia

They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

1. South Carolina (this game will set the tone for post Manziel A&M)
2. Tulsa
3. Ole Miss
4. Vanderbilt
5. Washington State (I don't have faith in either of them)
6. BYU
7. Bowling Green
8. Colorado State (I dunno, maybe)
9. UCF (depending on how good/bad Miami is; Orlando may have the 2cnd best team in Florida)
10. UCLA
11. Alabama (maybe we should send Monongalia County an early Get Well Soon card)
12. Northwestern
13. Auburn (Bielema might be in over his head)
14. Clemson
15. USC (probably; but maybe not)
16. Oklahoma State (rationale would see me going the other way; but why be rational?)
17. UTEP
18. LSU (though, if Wisconsin gets up early enough, Watch-out!)
19. Tennessee (I've no good reasoning here; Rocky Top has so many problems, but ... eh)
20. Miami

Glad to be back, I hibernate during the spring and summer. Thanks for running the picks again this year Eric. Hopefully I can remember to make them each week this year.
