What remains to be written about this season? I may start letting Ted Huff write these posts. Rusty would have anger management problems if he wrote about college football right now. The only good news is we’re rapidly approaching Nov. 20, when this hideous theme can be drug into the street and shot.

Does second place win anything? Or is that person just the first loser?
Chuck, you are my hero. 9 upsets? Kudos to your large nads. I went with 10 last week and apparently that wasn’t enough so I’ll have to pick more this week. Honorable mention to Baby Evil with 6. Favorites except (deep breath) Cincinnati, Boise St., Cal, Auburn, Northwestern, Washington St., South Carolina, Arizona St., Iowa, Iowa St., and Georgia Tech. All I know is if someone misses their picks this week they will be punished greatly. After watching VA Tech I also pick the bye week to upset the Hokies. Upset special! Tennessee will win this week!

bama
nc state wolfpack
iowa state cyclones

Ken, I’m almost in last place. Might as well take a few chances. If I were closer to first, I’d be playing it much safer….
Plus, the spreads are rather close in many games.
