SoWal 2010 NCAAF Pick'ems

Yeah, NS.

And puck South Carolina for losing, thought I could rely on them, would have finished with 12 correct, oh well, i'll take 11 correct. Bring on week 5, I'm ready.

Words can't even express how disappointed I am of this weeks pick em's. I really must suck this year, its disturbing actually. I am thinking I might not even do this next year at all. But, who am I kidding? Come next year, I will probably change my mind knowing me because I just love college football pick em's too much even though I continue to decline while everyone else does good. Alas, at least florida state did not let me down, but notre dame continues on their wayward path of being the most pathetic team I have laid eyes on yet & continues to let me down. I was surprised by the yellow jackets lack of defense to be honest, I expected much more of them. Tennessee continues their woes of terrible 3rd down conversions which stands at I believe 0 for 31 now this year. It took two overtimes to beat UAB, wow that doesn't say much for our program thats for sure. Once again, I find that this week was a total for me.

I trail Iris by 3 points.
Maybe I should stop picking my Dawgs to win?
UGA lost to USC
UGA lost to Ark
UGA lost to MS
(GA Tech also let me down vs. Kan & NC State, but that's another story)

I always pick NCS, GT won me over???
Didn't think UGA would lose 3 in a row.
Auburn always beats me.

Vegas was 14-1 this week.

Go Saints......

If they didn't have to play 4 QTRs they would have won!

Yeah, but unfortunately they along with everyone else has to play 4 quarters.

Pearls, I'm with you. My dawgs are letting me down. We are truly pitiful...but I can't pull the trigger and pick our opponent. I need therapy.

You probably can plan on them beating my Vols in 2 weeks.

All I can say is help meeeee, I need the football pick em's god to help me this week!

Don't worry. You are above 500, be glad you did not go with Tab's picks. He if he were playing on here, he would have been 7-8 after yesterday's games. I finished way better than he did. I rarely go with any he picked. Good thing after this week. I like to see how he picks in comparison to mine.

Excellent Wk 5 slate from Skunky!
Good Luck! This could be our toughest week.

goodness me, do you know something that i don't about this "friendly little pick'em? such drama!!!!!!!:roll:

That's my son for you. Unhappy with two weeks in a row of finishing 9-6, at least it wasn't 7-8, and was above 50%. Might not be happy also because his wife and mom both finished 11-4 for week 4. Last year I did bad the first 3 weeks in a row, and if I recall in the negative, or might as well have been. And started out 7-8 week 1 this year. I at any minute can have another week like that and most likely will. But oh well, it is what it is.

Anything can happen on any given Haturday huh? The Vols barely escaped against UAB, and did absolutely nothing in the second half of that game, QB got sacked 5 times, the Vols had very little yards in both the 3rd and 4th quarters. Just got lucky in the overtimes. But after seeing GA's woes several weeks in a row I'm now thinking we might be able to beat them after all.

Holy crap tough tough picks

I couldn't agree with you more. Was so excited that Auburn wasn't on the list and they did even worse by putting Texas A&M and Texas both on the picks. I have to remember no emotional picks. Texas played like girls this past weekend. My parents went to Texas, my dad played football for Texas. My niece, LSU Tiger, is marrying a Longhorn next month. Picking those Aggies was a sin growing up. Oh, this is going to be a tough tough week.

Iris, I thought you had already posted your picks on here. I thought, wow, that was fast. You are going to have to give these a little thought huh?

Well, here goes my week 5 picks. :shock: Please let me have another good week.

Excellent Wk 5 slate from Skunky!

I agree Iris, you have to take out the emotion when it comes to picking games, and thats hard for me to do!

Here's how I look at it.

On average we miss 20%-50% of our picks. Even Vegas is in that range. I try to objectively pick the winner, and if that goes against my heart's pick, I hope that pick will be one of my losses.

I couldn't agree with you more. When I realized that GT was not going to win I started shouting for NC St. Last night I realized that I was the loser in my NFL picks so I started the evening yelling for Chicago....sometimes your favorite losing team wins.
