indeed...

Kicking a pointless field goal instead of letting time run out. Somebody knew about the -14.5.

Some folks near the top of the Yahoo leaderboard haven't made picks yet. This BYU game is one you've already missed. Don't miss others!

Edit: Missing picks from these folks, not including the people that haven't played after the first week.

Game 1 down, 18 to go. Get your picks in.

Your picks wouldn't be late if we used Yah....

Never let anyone tell you that the lines in Vegas are meaningless.

Well, unless they're trying to use them to predict how a game will go

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Oh right, thanks for reminding me Randolph.

So with the UNC cheating, Louisville prostitution thing and the 2 year adventures of Jameis Winston, I feel the ACC is becoming its own SEC.

We haven't seen its final form yet.....

 

[zyxwvu4321]

It sure would be nice to get the first win against Oklahoma since joining the conference, but I'm not super optimistic.

to be honest....its just not OSU....needs more white....

dont disagree

 

[bucknuticus]

Can ESPN stop using FPI please? Its some made up bullshit, there was some artcile i read that said if you bet this season based on fpi you would have lost your ass so far.

 

[chicko1983]

dont disagree

it would look better if they tried to put some silver in there. Or maybe played with their usual helmets.

Just needs something to break up the black.

I dont disagree with the concept of the FPI. Last year, 75% of the stronger FPI team won against their opponent or something stupid.

However, if you were a commentator, you should be banned for using it. Id expect you to be able to mount an argument as to why team a would beat team b, other than just they have a better FPI.

Bill Connolly at SBNATION talked about it some one or two podcasts ago. Basically, he thinks it takes recent recruiting rankings as too big a chunk early in the season. As the season progresses, it should get rid of those big variances as the formula changes.

The formula is proprietary, so that is an assumption.

 

[BertramCooper]

If this were a charcoal gray instead of black, I'd absolutely love them.

With black, ehhhh.

 

[Avon Barksdale]

 

[Kacar]

Hate the black jerseys.

I get why they are doing it. But I really hate it.

Todd McShay asked Gary Patterson what the biggest challenge for his D is today. Patterson: “We've beaten better with less.”

 

[Lunar15]

Gators are orange on orange again. Dammit.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Mud guy was great.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I'm ready for Texas to hang tough with TCU for 3.9 quarters, then have a special teams fail at the end of the game.

 

[JHall]

I really love the Orange jerseys. Orange pants, not so much. Better with white pants in my opinion.

 

[Yaboosh]

Pregame smack

Oh so TCU is the upset of the day? That is cool.

 

[Affeinvasion]

Sorry for not reminding people about the yahoo pick em. I guess this week has been crazy. At least you can get your picks in before each game.

 

[bucknuticus]

I like purdues helmets today

Ah, UCF off to a rousing start in New Orleans this morning.

 

[ag-my001]

Missing the early slate of games to help build a homecoming float. Be sure to post upset alerts for us poor souls trying to teach high schoolers how to use a hammer.

It's not as straight forward as you might think.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Special team problems strike Texas again!

 

[DirtyManos]

Texas special teams truly are special.

 

[Fragamemnon]

These special teams aren't very special, Texas.

 

[Battlezone]

These are the worst.

 

[CrocMother]

Hey this Doctson kid is pretty good

 

[User 463088]

Man these early games aren't my jam today. All the good ones start at 3:30.

Of course, the one time I watch West-by-God Virginia, they'll end up sucking. : sigh :

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Yeah this won't be Texas' day

 

[perfectchaos007]

So much for making this game respectable. If we lose to OU next week and get off to a 1-5 start, Charlie may be done unfortunately.

 

[ag-my001]

From a Texas board:

"Same mistakes week after week."

"No, these are new and unique mistakes."

 

[GoldenEye 007]

We're in a dogfight in LA, people! 7-7 UCF/Tulane.

Does Texas have the worst special teams in the FBS?

 

[Battlezone]

This Texas/TCU game is turning into a snuff film.

Charlie Strong is a hell of a football coach. But, I don't see him lasting after this season.

Problem with Charlie is ... how much of is it Teddie and a weak Big East/AAC now?
