Great job picking the most difficult slate so far!

Now, the real fun starts, as the slate ChrisLords has selected for us has the feel of playing Pinehurst on the final round of a U.S. Open on a hot, dry day in June.

Good luck.

Unlike the last two weeks, I've added the correct game times.

Please bear with me as I'm getting back from vacation and I've just gotten around to updating the standings.

Wow! 25% are picking WVU over Baylor? That's a 27 1/2 point spread. I hope it happens.

Baylor's laying 27.5 against WVU? WVU could win this straight up. I'll take those points.

Based on the results thus far I don't think WVU can go toe-to-toe points wise in this one, but 27.5 does seem high considering Baylor is completely untested.

I agree. Baylor hasn't really played any... "real" games yet.

I think one of my weeks picks didn't get saved or something... cause I can't believe I'm doing so poorly... I'm in the top 10% in two other polls of picks... based off of boards...

I wonder how many of our Hokies picked UVA to lose. Seems to be 100% consensus on the techsideline.com board that UVA is going to lose.

I'm picking them to lose as a placeholder. I might go back in tomorrow and reevaluate it.

Whenever I'm in doubt I usually either pick the home team or what I want to see happen the most!

It has you missing all 15 in week 4.

Ball State @ UVA is one of those head/heart games. I WANT UVA TO LOSE too much... which is why I'm going with them to win because they are they favorite. Also, some of the same computer programs that picked Ga Tech to beat Va Tech are picking Ball State...

My picks this week are a dumpster fire. I am rooting for chaos at this point.

600 yards and 56 points by the half ... I'd say you've all collectively overestimated WV and underestimated Baylor.

ASU and Northwestern let me down in the final minutes.

Definitely. WVU's defense is much worse than I thought and Baylor looks great thus far. I'm very interested to see them against someone in the top half of the Big 12.

Given what seemed like a crazy weekend, I did quite well with my picks.

Ouch. That hurt for me.

Congrats to army56mike and ClairtonPanther

Baylor is now quite an interesting story. WVU's already beaten OSU, so Baylor figures to be able to play with anyone in the B12. If they handle others like they handled WVU last night, they will move up the rankings like they are in the high speed lane.

I forgot to pick a game this weekend, and it drops me in the standings from 5th, where I would be if I had picked the game and lost, all the way to 27th. Any way to reorder with first priority on the number of wins rather than games picked?

At least, I gained some ground back .
