UNC was boned. Practically stolen from them. SEC. When they can't beat ya they cheat ya.

How so?

I thought there were some sketchy pass interference calls that kept drives alive. Questionable reviews. In the 4th they had 4 or 5 questionable calls and every single one went against UNC. Did watch the game? It was quite evident.

If Arizona wins I'll be second. If UNC didn't get the screw job I'd be first but you win some you lose some.

BYU is up 9 in third. NIU90 looks like the winner. Congrats.

Count wanting them to get boned every week.

UNC's qb and reciever are from Mentor Ohio. Maw them play a lot when I was up in Cleveland with my daughter. It was cool seeing them play at the next level. They haven't skipped a beat. UNC was fun to watch.

Look at NIUalum. He didn't move his confidence picks. It just went in order 1-10. He got the first two games wrong which was only worth three points then walked the dog. His BYU pick got him 10'points. Classic.

I thought the interference calls were legit. The unsportsmanlike on Fedora is what I thought you might have in mind, but he kind of owned up to it in the post game interview. The ineligible downfield might have been sketchy, and that led to the unsportsmanlike and the safety, and certainly a huge momentum shift, but that hardly decided the game. NC had outplayed them for three quarters, but Georgia pretty much dominated the fourth.

forgot to make my picks last week

That's tough to recover from. But if you pick wisely, you still have 12 weeks to go.

I've been doing this for about 8 years and have often made upset picks in the early weeks only to see those points evaporate. So I've often been well down the list after weeks 2 and 3 and yet recovered nicely by the end. But if you miss another week, see ya in 2017.

this wasnt the only pickem I am in, I also forgot to make the picks for the UAB pickem competition.

bump! dont forget people!

After an ugly week one I dominated week two, or at least I am now.

Come on Boise and Oregon! Those are my top two picks.

I take week two....Fo shizzle. I cant believe I picked Duke. I don't know what I was thinking.

What didn't I place Iowa and Iowa State at 10?

I'm done trying to hit home runs by picking upsets (although I got Arkansas).

I can not believe I forgot!!!!!!!!! Turrible

Down the home stretch everybody ran right by me. LOL
