BYU over Houston
Miami Florida over Pittsburgh
Auburn over South Carolina
Cincinnati over Tulsa
West Virginia over Kansas (58 points)
Memphis over Central Florida
Mississippi over Arkansas
Florida over LSU
Texas A&M over Mississippi State
Marshall over Louisiana Tech
Oklahoma State over Baylor
Alabama over Georgia
Virginia Tech over Boston College

Very difficult games to pick this week. I see seven or eight that could go either way, and wouldn't be all that big of an upset if the slight underdogs won.

Game is PPD to 12/12. Do you want to add another game or go with 12?
Sorry I didn’t see that when I put it out on Sunday

it’s kind of late so let’s just go with what we have & hope no more games get ppd

I will say this. This week is good (in terms of difficulty). but next week looks good too. There were a couple of games I went back and forth and back again on. Who knew Arkansas vs Ole Miss could be that tough for example?

This week will be a toss up on many games like others have stated. I can see a few games where the winning team wins by less than a touchdown and upsets have happened every week so I don’t even think the ranked teams are safe. Safest game for me is the WVU vs KU game.,

Georgia- taking a stab here with Saban I assume calling in plays from some bunker... I'll get screwed though, always do when picking Ga in a tough matchup.
BC- just because.

I did t realize it til I saw @torontoeers post & just checked but Saban has COV19

yeah he’ll coach via telephone, probably a flip phone or maybe even a rotary. Everyone I know who has had this & is healthy says it’s no big deal. Saban reportedly plays a lot of summertime basketball so I’m guessing & hoping he'll be fine.

After this weekend we got the B1G starting next weekend so the slate will have more choices. I will add more extras.

btw there’s a competitive game right now between GA State and AR State on ESPN right now (should have been on the slate)

Watching BYU / Houston. Houston setting the tempo & up 20-14 in the 3rd. BUT .... Houston Punt Returner just made a fair catch on his own 1 yd line with no BYU guy near him. Holgs went balistic.

Of course both Houston and UCF gave up big leads.
Had both of them. UCF game was an upset. Thought Holgs could pull it out but he proved he just couldn't do it.

I had OleMiss over Arky also. Arky was soooo bad last year that I just couldn't pull the trigger for them.

"In a college football world gone Covid crazy......" That's what I imagine that movie trailer voiceover guy would say about the film for this season. We started the week with 13 games for Pick'M, then it was 12 and then 11 and by Friday it was 10. Heard a guy on one of the sports radio stations wonder if Vegas will put out a prop bet on the O/U on Baylor football games played this season. I think it would be 5.5 and I'd bet the under.

This week saw a couple of upsets that most of us did not see coming. One brave soul, @SKYHAWKBALL thought SC would win over Auburn, and he was right. Two players, @torontoeers and @WVUALLEN liked Arkansas over Ole Miss, right again. However neither brave pick was enough to swing the week their way. With 8 correct picks @MichiganHerd wins the tie-breaker (58/55) over @FallingRun84 . Congrats M'Herd!
