That was a cathartic and refreshing game on so many levels. That first quarter made it seem like it was destined to be a very long season with the Cougars going up 14-0. But then things turned on a dime and it was all Trojans for the last three quarters โ€“ almost seemed like old times. Offense, Defense and even Special Teams looked really good after the slow start.

As a group, our picks were much more on track this week. In fact, we had a dozen contestants with 10 or less net differential points.

The Official Game Prediction Winner of the Week Award this week goes to
@JCakus who predicted a final score of 45-13 for a net differential of โ€œ1โ€ Tremendous pick.


The Extremely Coveted Most Wrong Title once again goes to
@The Lizard King who had a whopping net differential of 50 and also picked the wrong team to win. You can't do much better than that. A double dose of congrats on that performance!


We will post the preliminary standings in The Race for the Season Long Prediction Czar by tomorrow.

In my defense, I made my prediction while Clay Helton was still HC.

The Race for the Season Long Prediction Czar is now well underway. Remember, in order to be eligible, you must have participated in at least 2/3 of the games played โ€“ that means this week you must have participated in two of the three games played so far and at least 3 out of 4 next week.

Early in the season we see large swings in the leaderboard as players come in and out of eligibility.

"SC 35-17": within 10 ... not close enuff?
you scared me for a minute, I thought maybe I punched in the final score incorrectly. Your total net differential was 13. 10 (USC)+3 (WSU). The good news is, If you keep playing and continue to score that well, you will have a great chance at the Season Ending Prediction Czar title. You do need to have played at least 2/3 of the games in order to be eligible.
