I went with LSU also. Might be shooting myself in the foot with this weekend's picks also, just won't be happy if I finish 7-8 again. I've finished 7-8 2 or 3 times this season. :(

Whew, did those of us who went with Ga. Tech and the points get lucky or what? Just escaped by 6.5 pts.

It's a great day when the Yellow Maggot's lose.......... but cover the spread:clap:

Yeah, and that is what I was banking on, that they would score enough and that combined with the spread would be enough.

Did you know that there are 32768 (2 to the 15th power) possible choices for your picks for any given week? Why? Because there are 15 games, and there are two choices possible for each game (home team or visitor). Thus 2 choices for the 1st game and 2 choices for the 2nd game and ... 2 choices for the 15th game which equals 2 to the 15th power.

This makes a few assumptions, such as each team for a given game has a decent chance of winning. But with the close games that cnestg8r has chosen, for any matchup in which the the point spread is 7 or less, there is roughly a 50-50 chance for either team winning, based on the stats that cnestg8r has kept over the years.

So if you have a tough time making your picks, this is why. :wave:

Man, this Illinois/Michigan game is a barn burner. 3rd overtime, now one team has to have a 2 pt conversion in this OT. C'mon Illinois.

Well this week sure went to total garbage. On a happy note though, I did go to the tennessee/memphis game last night to enjoy watching tennessee destroy memphis 50-14, that was great. There was hardly any blue in the stands come the 4th quarter, I would say 85 to 90% of memphis fans cleared the stands by the end of the 3rd quarter. The only blue you really saw was from the band & the cheerleaders lol.

Well, at least you didn't finish 2 weeks out of three 7-8 like I did. I question why you went with some of the picks you did? I was just points away on 2 games at least of finishing 12-3 this week. The Illinois Michigan game was one, and I think maybe the North Carolina, Fla State game was another. So I'll take 10-5 though. 😀

Did I get any right? :funn:

Miss Kitty I think you were 8-7. I try to keep up with who finished where hoping each week I will move up some. Hope the picks will be on here before I leave around 9:15 for church. I sat up and watched the entire USC AZ. State game until it was over last night and that was around 12:30 a.m.! Not to mention I watched my Vols literally tar and feather the Memphis Tigers 50-14 here at the Liberty Bowl. My son was at the game. We needed that freshman QB Tyler Bray playing all season for us, we might be 5-4 now instead of 3-6. But he will get to prove himself the last 3 games against Ole Miss, Vandy and Kentucky, two of three are home games for us.

I told my wife I had premonition that LSU would beat BAMA.

But I was not sure the SOWAL protocol regarding changing picks.

Anytime before 9AM the day of the game, correct?

All Hail Queen Iris! Gigantic 4 game lead! We are humbled by your picks. Perhaps next year you can have pre-season training camp.:clap:

Watch out for the bowl games.😱

Thank you for your vote of confidence. It is only luck. And am sure the bowl games will kick me. I thought I only got 12 correct this weekend. Did I miss something? Go LSU.

I think you are right Iris but you are still kicking butt. Way to go. I need to take long distance lessons from you next year. 😀 I moved up two places, wow.

Your house makes me smile. I've threatened to paint ours orange and blue a few times.

Good job with the pick'ems, Iris.:clap:

Slip Sliding Away...........................

Wish it was my house on the beach! It probably wouldn't be painted purple and gold! I've just been waiting for LSU to do something out of the ordinary to post the pictures. It is down in Blue Mountain.

I'm ready for week 11. 😀

Slid into a deep bunker & can't get back out. :idontno:

You are not in a deep bunker. You will probably move back ahead of me next week.

Dune Allen, but call it one you want there 100%.

Sure hope our week 11 picks are posted sometime today. 😀

cnestg8r is on his way to Australia. He left for the ATL airport yesterday afternoon and won't be at his destination until tonight. We'll all probably be snoozing by the time he posts. :wave:
