Welcome to WEEK 3 of NCAA PICK EM! This week is EMPOWERMENT WEEK here in Birmingham. The city is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of important events in the Civil Rights Movement. Frodor's recently named Birmingham one of the top tourist destinations this Fall. If you have a hankering for good BBQ, College Football and you love History come on down! I will give you the personal tour of my fair city (Hoover). GOOD LUCK ON YOUR PICKS THIS WEEK!!

DIRECTIONS: I have attached and posted the USA Today Odds for these 14 games and chose the "average," of all of the different odds making services that USA Today endorses. Please choose wisely and see if you will be the NCAA COLLEGE FOOTBALL PICKER for the week. This is only for bragging rights!

DOUBLE CHECK YOUR PICKS!!!



SUMMARIZED RULES:


1) Pickers who elect to remain anonymous are welcome, but must adopt an unregistered sport's board name (ie. BroncoBoy) to get due recognition for your picks. Please identify yourself with each post.

2) During regular season play all picks will be based on the "odds" or the "point" system reported by USA Today (SportsDirect) prior to the week's games. The "points" recognized will be the "points" displayed on posted "Pick-Em" schedule that will available for viewing 3-4 days in advance of the week's games. Should the "point" spreads change after the "Pick-Em" schedule is posted - the revised "points" shall not apply.

3) YOU CANNOT EDIT YOUR PICKS & POSTS BEFORE GAME TIME!! You may pick a Thursday Night Game and make the rest of your picks before 11:00 AM SATURDAY EASTERN TIME!!

4) Not all NCAA Div. 1 games will make the weekly "Pick-Em" schedule. Only those major games of interest. We are going for quality here. Not quantity. Games with a 21 "point" spread or greater are highly discouraged. If a picker wants to add an unlisted game contact the interim coordinator BroncoBoy.

5) All pickers shall show respect and courtesy toward their fellow pickers (BRONCOBOY!). A competitive spirit is fine. But let's keep it clean and be friends. We don't want to evolve into vitriol and mean spiritness that got the poli board shut down. Be nice to one another.

6) In the event of a board dispute on operational matters - all disputes will be resolved by the majority. There are no kings or queens on this board who have the final say. We are a democracy - and the majority rules. If the majority is only 2 people - so be it.

7) Post-season play (bowl games) shall be based on straight picks and NOT the "point" system used during regular season play.

8. PLEASE!! BOLD & UNDERLINE ALL OF YOUR PICKS!!

PICK EM GAME NOTE: The OHIO STATE VS. CAL game is a PICK EM GAME! This means there is no point spread and you will be picking the team you think will win straight up. I have searched around for a line on this game with no success. I think it is due to the Braxton Miller injury (OSU Starting QB). No one really knows the severity of his injury and if he will be playing on Saturday?
 






Hey Bamaboy, I was gonna take you to Ken's for ribs on your birthday but AJ McCarron's momma was blowing up my cellphone. Maybe next time.

Thanks Pale Horse. Here is a picture of AJ McCarron's (ALABAMA QB) Mom and Girlfriend. They are on a cover of a local magazine in Mobile, AL (His home town and my hometown).

http://www.secrant.com/rant/p/44340589/AJs-Mom-and-Katherine-Webb-on-mag-cover-together.aspx

I think his mom is better looking than his girlfriend. Dee Dee Bonner does have a nice rack! His girlfriend Katherine is going to be the new Hardee's/Carl's Jr. Burger Girl. I don't think it's a good career move but she must like to shove meat in her mouth for big $!!!
 






Hey Bamaboy, do you want our picks bolded and underlined? Or in red?

Either way is fine with me, just let me know.

Bolded and underlined is good for me. No need to highlight in red. Yours looks great and I really appreciate it.

Did you get the SCORE MOBILE app? There is also just an ESPN one that is good well. This really is the best way to keep up with multiple scores. I look at the scores obsessively on Saturday.

10. OHIO STATE VS. CAL (PICK EM GAME!!!!) Ohio State's back up QB is better than the starter.

11. MISSISSIPPI STATE VS. AUBURN -6.5 The BARN (AUBARN) wins this one but Miss State will keep it close.

12. OLE MISS VS. TEXAS -3.5 Ask Siri what her favorite College Football team is and she will tell you "Ole Miss."

13. WISCONSIN VS. ARIZONA STATE -5.5 Those Wisconsin boys will not know what to do when they see women who aren't dressed in plaid but very short shorts...

14. OREGON STATE VS. UTAH -3 I just picked this game to make it an even 14. I really don't give a rip about it.

Hmmmm- interesting picks Bamaboy. Tennessee over the Ducks? I did not know Huskies were your favorite PAC12 team. They haven't had a good team in awhile. I hope they win too.
Peterson is coming to SC? Is he any good?

Bamaboy-- I have a question about rule 3-- Did this change from last year?, because last year we were able to edit our picks up until Sat Morning.


SUMMARIZED RULES:




3) YOU CANNOT EDIT YOUR PICKS & POSTS BEFORE GAME TIME!! You may pick a Thursday Night Game and make the rest of your picks before 11:00 AM SATURDAY EASTERN TIME!!

The rules have not changed from last year. If the player wants to make their Thursday Night pick then make their Saturday picks they have to be 2 different posts.

Once the player posts their picks they cannot edit their picks. Remember last year and some previous years people would edit their picks and then there were accusations about when the picks were edited.

The Saturday Picks have to be posted by the player before 11:00 Eastern Time on Saturday. I know I hate Eastern Time too! Everyone thinks Alabama is on Eastern Time and we are not!!! So annoying those Eastern Time Elitists!
 






Hmmmm- interesting picks Bamaboy. Tennessee over the Ducks? I did not know Huskies were your favorite PAC12 team. They haven't had a good team in awhile. I hope they win too.
Peterson is coming to SC? Is he any good?

Oregon is going to beat Tennessee by 3 touchdowns. I just don't think Oregon can beat Tennessee by more than 28 points. I am starting to question my pick but since I have made the pick and it is set in stone, oh well.

Peterson has done a great job at Boise State. Some people are throwing around Jeff Fisher's name. Jeff is the Head Coach at the St. Louis Rams and a Southern CAL graduate. There are several reports out that Lane Kiffin will not be able to hang onto his job.

I have family out in the Seattle area and I spent many summers growing up escaping the Alabama heat and hanging out in Seattle. I like the Huskies and yeah they have not had a good team in awhile.
