    Maryland upset huh? How'd that work out for ya? Should have focused on the game up north as an upset instead...

    I said could. It took Ohio State a while to get it's act together.

    I had a strange feeling about the Michigan game. You never know about rivalry games.

    we scored on our first 2 possessions and our first defensive drive? took awhile? I'd agree if we were talking about the Rutgers game but not the Maryland game.... take away that 100 yrd kickoff return and they don't put points on the board until 4 minutes left in the game

    as for the Michigan game, I look at the Coach..... how does a coach in his third year STILL not have a QB that he recruited? I get guys don't always pan out but to be THAT unlucky 3 straight years? ehhhhh I don't buy it. He can't win one possession games and he can't beat rivals. Point. Blank. Period.

    The Michigan QB was injured last game and is out for the season, probably. That's what's wrong with the QB for Michigan.

    @cee134 and @Will_Run_4_Food you all have been doing so good. Why don't you take this week off and enjoy yourselves.

    Good.... *kitten* no. I'm usually in the 99 percentile. So... I need all the points I can get. I will admit you would of probably beat me this year the way you have been picking. Sorry you missed a week. But it's not to late to still do well.

    Ha it's all good, had vacation on my mind that week and forgot all about it. I've stuck with this three times as long as I've ever made it in a fantasy football league though. The effort needed is perfect for me.

    I once missed the first 3 weeks of College Pick'em and still made it in the top 90 percent.

    I don't keep up with weak conferences. Especially one that allows weak teams to look better then they actually are.

    I came here to yell at you for ignoring my amazing performance, but then I pulled up the website and realized that last week I must have been drunk while making picks. I went from a 93% to an 84%
    Whomp, whomp

    Oh, I plan to say this every week. Regardless of the opponent. It actually makes Ohio State look worse and worse. Since all the teams suck except for Penn State and maybe Oklahoma. Which proves my point about the weak schedule and being over ranked.

    I will concede on this weeks opponent as I think Ohio State should be able to not lose to them.

    hey as long as we keep piling up the W's I'll take it and yes, I think we may be able to manage this week by ourselves without your good luck :)

    Better watch out for next week though. But how lucky is that having a bi-week before The Biggest Game of the season?

    I'm legitimately worried about next week. IF we get by them, and yes that's a big IF then we'll be in the B1G championship game

    What's the highest rank team Ohio State has won against this year? I know one thing. NONE of them are in the top 25 currently nor when Ohio State played them. It is unlikely that Ohio State will have to play any more then 3 maybe 4 teams that will be ranked in the top 30.

    So Ohio State and Penn State might be an upset game.

    Some people are even saying Ohio State could win against Penn State. I guess anything is possible if there are infinite universes.

    Edit: Ohio State will probably win this week just to spite me.

    It wasn't a very exciting football week if that's what you meant.

    Sorry I am not in this group but I bet the Penn state vs Ohio will be a good one...especially watching Saquon Barkley.

    There could be 7 ranked upsets tomorrow afternoon. Statistically speaking, it is unlikely to be all 7 but it is likely there will be at least 1. But which one?
    The 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff window is going to be one of the greatest of the past decade. In addition to three ranked-versus-ranked showdowns (Penn State at Ohio State; TCU at Iowa State; North Carolina State at Notre Dame), there will be No. 4 Georgia at Florida, No. 16 Michigan State at Northwestern and UCLA at No. 12 Washington. There's also Houston at No. 17 South Florida kicking off at 3:45, so there could be as many as seven losses by ranked teams in the span of about 30 minutes.

    I'm having anxiety about it already. I played it very safe.


    I can't rank the 8 or 9 I want to for 1 point. So it's hard to play it safe this week for me.

    Notre Dame can lose, I've believed in TCU before and was very disappointed but they are better this year, and Ohio State could win.

    Not to mention Clemson's QB has an ankle injury and GT can give them trouble every year.

    UGA and Florida, won't even go there....

    USC is hit or miss and Arizona St can make them miss.

    I actually pick OSU in hoping that my poor picking will mean they will really lose.

    Good strategy. It usually works too, unless you try to do it that way. Of course if you go back and pick Penn St, than OSU will win.

    It's hard for me to ignore Ohio State playing at home but also the fact that they haven't played a real team yet, except OK and lost to them. I've been going back in forth all week on this match-up. I probably won't make my final pick until game time forces me to.

    That's the thing. They're in Columbus. Plus, as much as I hate to say this being from Ann Arbor, they are still the team to beat and I'll pick them if I have to until proven otherwise. Penn State racked up the offense against a really good M defense, but I'm doubting Michigan so much that I don't even know if that's a good benchmark. Guess that's why they play the game. Either way, Saturday will be fun.

    They have been proven otherwise, Oklahoma proved that. Also OSU schedule up until now has been against easy teams. Right now I'm 50/50 on either team winning. Maybe I'll flip a coin.
