daveforau 2 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I have set up a group on ESPN College Pick 'Em. Here is the link to the homepage. The group name is Auburn Eagle and the password is sportstalk. The link is http://games.espn.go.com/cpickem/en/frontpage. You will have to create your entry then join the group. I made it private to keep the bammers from infiltrating. If you have done this you know how interesting and fun it can be. I have been doing it for several years, I am in three groups this year. I am going to join the College challenge that someone else set up also. It is always good clean fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wareagle529 0 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Done. They really throw some curveball games at you. It's so hard to judge the first week as it is. Not to mention you have to make picks like Washington vs. BYU. Hmmmmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second year with a system that worked fairly well... at least in the Pac 10 Actually that is for sure a toss-up game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second year with a system that worked fairly well... at least in the Pac 10 Actually that is for sure a toss-up game. That's what I thought at first as well until I realized the following: 1. Washington has to replace Jake Locker who was a man among boys. 2. BYU has some impressive numbers. 11th in the nation for points for and a relatively strong defensive rank. 3. The game is @ BYU. However, I still agree with you that Washington pulls away the W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locker definitely has pro potenital. I don't know why I was under the impression that he had already turned pro... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keekee 0 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Anyone else surprised by the % picked listed? TCU vs Oregon State surprised me OSU has some great Heisman contending running backs and will probably be a BCS bowl contender. Michigan vs UConn surprised me Michigan will be awful again and UConn is coming off of a great season with lots of momentum and a good coach. LSU vs UNC While I picked LSU to win i put it at the bottom of my picks UNC is always that team that underachieves but who knows they might show up this year.

LSU vs UNC While I picked LSU to win i put it at the bottom of my picks UNC is always that team that underachieves but who knows they might show up this year. The Mich/Uconn had me stumped. I want to pick Uconn, but Mich has Forcier back and I gave it to Mich being at home. If it was at Uconn I would have done that without thinking about it. LSU does well in a dome (especially the GA Dome ... I guess that speed shows itself on that turf. I don't think NC has a good travelling fan base. The Corn Dog stinch could be unbearable.

312234 0 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 just joined. week 1 is gonna be interesting. Week 1 was hard. LSU vs N. Carolina -tossup Has Notre Dame overcome last year and put their trust in Kelly (sp?Kelley)? What about Cincinnati? New coach ain't (<- that's a word in the south) near as good as what they lost to ND. I didn't even know they hired a new coach! Kentucky? They beat us last year. I would be better at under/over. Those were some tough picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mah0020 11 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I've been flip lopping with the LSU-UNC game. Didn't UNC lose alot of their staring defense players in the preseason? I just flopped back to LSU once I heard that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
