Miami University is in Oxford. Ohio University is in Athens.
Are we able to see our picks week by week? Don't seem to be able to find a link to look over my pics from last week. Not the record/standings, but who I actually picked.
9-6 last week... why do I even bother with this?

Yeah.. give me a few moments, and I'll fix that up.

Why? What we REALLY need is a default that says "whatever Kaplony picked"
^ that's almost as good an "Easter Egg" as having a "Robo" poster that mimics somebody in this board fam.
We seem to have a problem similar to what some of us experienced in Week 1. After making my picks, it still shows the default picks as if they were the ones I made. However, if I compare with another poster, it shows the picks as I meant them to be.

Looks good. I was pretty sure the system had the correct picks, based on the remark "you and 26 others made this pick" even though it said I had picked FAU. I was pretty sure that wasn't going to happen.
I'm glad you didn't include the VT Furman game in the pickem. With a QB who can't pass and a short week to prepare I think that game is a toss up.

Was I high when I picked UVA? How the... What the... That had to have been an accident that I didn't notice. There's just no explanation for that whatsoever.
Who picked Northwestern?
Hey, the gray bar on the left of the screen covers up everything. How do I get rid of that?

a) Are you using the site from a desktop computer, or a mobile device?
b) if 'a' is "desktop", then what web browser?

Desktop and I used IE and Firefox. I was able to submit anyway last week, but now I don't have a submit button after I make picks.

Check your PM.
Reminder -- get your picks in before tomorrow night's game (Miami @ FAU).
Some tidbits from the 33 submitted sets of picks for Week 2:
Who's the one fella picking Virginia to beat Notre Dame?
You gets NO LOVE from us:
This applies to Florida Atlantic, South Florida, Houston, Tulane, and East Carolina. Nobody is picking them this week.
Game with the closest pick ratio:
Boise State vs BYU
Yeah, You Guys Beat Penn State, But...
Only 6 of the 33 players have faith in Temple this week.
-----
While SWAG is working on editing the podcast recorded last night, I will share that we selected 5 of the games to highlight for the show:
Wake Forest at Syracuse
Oklahoma at Tennessee
Oregon at Michigan State
Temple at Cincinnati
Boise State at BYU
We differ on 2 of 'em..
Good luck, all :)
I don't know if I'm more surprised that two people picked Akron or that only 5 picked Oregon. Could it be that there's a little gamesmanship going on? Will we see some last minute switching of picks? Is somebody concerned that a Patriots fan is trying to steal their signs?
Stay tuned for the next episode of "As The Pickem Turns".
