There are some gimmes this week, but those are the rules - we pick every ACC game against an FBS team. As last week showed, though, not all gimmes are equal. Maybe Charlotte will catch the Tigers looking ahead to Carolina.

Good luck to all, and remember - fortune favors the bold. Just sayin'.

Clemson's third string with a wide receiver at QB would beat Charlotte.

Clemson would likely beat them with a tackle playing QB.

We're not off to a rousing start. Only 4-16 so far. We should make hay on the games that kick off after 4PM with the possible exception of the Texas-Oklahoma State game. The 8 games that start before that are probably going to decide this week's winner.

Good call!!

Congratulations to TyBull, our Week 4 winner with 13 correct picks. Ty narrowly edged out reigning champion Buckminster Fuller, CollegeCard, esayem, Indytarheel and Statefan in a race that came down to the bitter end. His picks of Texas and Georgia put him over the top.

Honorable mention goes to JRsec, Lenvillecards, orange_in_VA, panite and Texan Mark who were correct on 11 of their picks. Unfortunately, honorable mention doesn't earn rep points.

In the season race, ColegeCard moves into a tie with TexanMark at the top. The Top Ten (and ties) are:

.767 CollegeCard
.767 TexanMark
.756 TyBull
.733 Buckminster Fuller
.733 esayem
.733 orange_in_VA
.733 Statefan
.733 JRsec
.717 XLance
.700 copycat
.700 Indytarheel
.700 Lenvillecards

All these players are within four games of the lead, so the race is still wide open, with little separation at the top.

In the rep points race, TexanMark holds down the top spot with 7, followed closely by CollegeCard and TyBull at 6 each. Buckminster Fuller, esayem, and Statefan all have earned 5 rep points to date. Perennial bridesmaid, copycat, has 4 points so far.

I'll post the Week 5 slate later today. With only 6 ACC games on the card this week, and fewer OOC cupcakes, picking winners should get harder. Your skills will be tested and the depth of your knowledge of college football revealed. By the end of the season, we will have picked games involving at least 90 of the 130 FBS schools and every conference. We've already seen most of those on the card.

I can't wait to see how you do this week.

Michigan did me in. They suck.

I expect it to stay close throughout. Most conferences this year have small tops, mid sized middles, and large bottoms. Yes the power structure looks like a Pear. Things are is sad shape when coach potatoes watch pears for entertainment!

Real conferences have curves

There was only one player with the remarkable insight to recognize that rare opportunity and the courage to pull the trigger on it. A true genius among us mere mortals. We should all be in awe.

That player didn’t have the insight to pick Syracuse or Auburn. Genius is way to kind.
