Ok in full honesty I was making my picks real fast and got UB vs U of Minnesota mixed up with Bills vs Vikings...edited my picks to pick the Row the Gophers to beat the Bulls. But I guess picking the Bills doesn't make much sense either because they're gonna suck this year and the NFL doesn't start until next week anyways.

Maybe I should've had more faith in the Bulls, only down by a TD going into the 4th. CMU and Rhode Island a little too close for comfort, 13-7 in Mt. Pleasant. At least neither are crapping the bed like Georgia State.

Imagine the score if Rhode Island's QB hadn't thrown 6 INTs in this game...

Rhode Island snatches defeat from the jaws of victory, Chips pull out a victory in the third OT.

And with that, Rhode Island falls to 4-31 in their past 35 games.

When you're that far into futility, you're going to choke on the kick that'd give you a road win over an FBS program.

MAC avoids the black eye, luckily.

Buffalo @ Minnesota
Elon @ Toledo
Rhode Island @ Central Michigan

Friday, September 1

Charlotte @ Eastern Michigan
Boston College @ Northern Illinois

Saturday, September 2

Ball State @ Illinois
Bowling Green @ Michigan State
Akron @ #6 Penn State
Kent State @ #5 Clemson
Western Michigan @ #4 USC [abstain]
Miami @ Marshall
Hampton @ Ohio

You might as well take your Broncos. If they don't win it's the same as not picking the game, and you'll hate yourself if they pull the upset and you're not on board.

And if I pick them and they get taken out behind the woodshed I look like an idiot. Last year I decided not to pick the Broncos' games and just enjoy them and it worked out pretty good.

There's no penalty for an incorrect pick. Might as well make a decision!

P.S. T-minus ~4 hours until the deadline for Week 1.

I understand what you guys are saying, but I will not choose the winner of any game the Broncos are playing in. I will start each week with a disadvantage of already having one loss..

I don't think you have to worry about looking like an idiot. I just saw where someone took Kent State over Clemson, so you're off the hook for taking Western over USC! LOL

Lol Believe it or not, I do think that someday we will see a team like Kent State , Buffalo or EMU beat a team like Clemson.
