RE: Week 1 Pick'Em
For those picking the Texas St v Ohio game to be close consider this- Texas State only has 32 players on their roster that have ever played in an FBS games before, 9 of their starters are freshmen or sophomores.

re: App St- this might help some people better understand how Ohio lost to them in a bowl game last year. The downer is that Ohio goes to Knoxville in Wk3 and the Vols will not be looking past another G5 team this year.

Pick the winner and the score


Thursday 9/1
Presbyterian @ CMU

Friday 9/2
MVSU @ EMU
Ball State @ Ga. St.
Albany @ Buffalo
Toledo @ Ark. St.

Saturday 9/3
BGSU @ #6OSU
WMU @ Northwestern
Kent St. @ Penn St.
Miami @ #17 Iowa
Texas St. @ Ohio
VMI @ Akron
NIU @ Wyoming

You forgot to pick winners and scores..

I like to wait until Wednesday to see if anything happens during the week.

I like to post the thread on Sunday or Monday to allow for discussion and to let other people pick on their own their own timetable.07-coffee3

Are you planning on keeping track of each persons scores from week to week? Or is this just for the fun of it?

For the fun of it. If somebody wants to compile the weekly results, its fair game. I just don't have the time.

How big of a deal do y'all think EMU beating up Miss Valley does for their fan base? 61-7 should get a few people talking no matter how bad the team was.

Or this is clear indication that Tennessee is overrated and vulnerable against a good MAC team.

RE: Week 1 Pick'Em
Buffalo is losing to Albany 22-16 with 3:45 to go.

Had a chance to put in the winning TD but fumbled on the 3.

Now looking like they'll go down for a loss. Young QB is the culprit.

Ball State goes up 31-14 with 4:46 to go so it looks they will go 1-0 in the Neu Era.

7 of Georgia State's points were a pick-6.

Albany hangs on an picks up its first ever FBS win tonight.

Albany 22
Buffalo 16

Does not look like Buffalo is a MAC contender this year, IMO.

Its not a big deal. They have done this before in the past against FCS schools, turn around and have a 3 win season. They'll be last in the MAC west again this season.

Mississippi Valley State is a non scholarship FCS program.

Beating them big says nothing at all.

One of those games. New QBs and new Oline just killed the Bulls. The turnovers and crucial penalties offset the Bulls huge yardage advantage

A good week so far sans Buffalo

Especially for the MAC West which has pretty much dominated its competition so far. Now its on NIU and WMU to carry the mantle tomorrow for our division.

RE: Week 1 Pick'Em
31-10 Toledo final. Rockets were coasting until a long pass & run ended with a fumble out of the end zone, which gave Arkansas State a bit of life and they did eventually get a TD on the Rocket D. Toledo running game was, as expected, in pretty good shape and Logan Woodside had a nice game at QB. Rocket D was pretty solid for 3 quarters.
