Pickem Week 6 is open
Thanks to ESPN and the schedule makers, we have an ACC game on Thursday night, so we'll need to start working on our picks with a quick turnaround this week. I hope we don't have the same problems the NFL does with its Thursday night games.

Louisville @NC State (+3)
Boise St @BYU (+7)
Wake Forest @Clemson (-21.5)
Temple @East Carolina (+4)
Duke @Virginia (+1)
Pitt @Syracuse (-4)
West Virginia @TCU (-11)
Miami @Florida St (+2)
Notre Dame @North Carolina (+17)
Minnesota @Purdue (-3)
Arkansas @South Carolina (+2)
Colorado St @Utah St (+7.5)
Kansas St @Texas (-5.5)
Virginia Tech @Boston College (+14.5)
Washington St @Oregon (+2.5)

First alternate:
LSU @Florida (-6)

Second alternate
Michigan St @Michigan (-11)

Since we only had 4 players interested in picking against the spread, my ruling is that the tribe has spoken. The spread is off the island. For the record, Chris Lords and Bigtexnole picked an impressive 10 winners each, and are declared co-winners. Unfortunately (for them) that does not give them immunity this week in the regular contest.

For that, the target is now on 4x4hokies back. Let's see if he can stand up to the pressure!

RE: Pickem Week 6 is open
Just a heads up about the ND/NC game.

ND QB Brandon Wimbush hurt his ankle on Saturday night, is in a walking boot and is unlikely to play.

Ian Book (who?) is likely going to start his first game ever. I think he has thrown 8 passes in his short career.

That may affect the outcome greatly.

You did. My error was that I typed "Florida" as the underdog, when in fact it is LSU. I will edit that. That's what I get for posting something that late in the evening.

My error, and your catching it, led me to take a closer look at that game. While Florida was a clear favorite at the start of the week, the line move steadily toward LSU, and was LSU - 1.5 by today. That's a big move. Most Pickem players had already made their picks before the line flipped.

RE: Pickem Week 6 is open
I don't expect to stay up for the end of the evening games this week. Here's where we stand as I write this. If I am reading this correctly, Wilkie needs a Kansas State win to stay alive. If they lose, then Bigtexnole will win if Wazzou does, and Buckminster Fuller will win if Oregon prevails.

If K State wins, then all three will be tied going into the Wazzou-Oregon game. Only Bucky picked the Ducks, so he can win outright, while Wilkie and Bigtex will tie with a Wazzou win.

I'll post the season standings after church tomorrow.

RE: Pickem Week 6 is open
Congratulations to Bigtexnole, our Week 6 winner! He was near perfect at 14-1, missing only the Pitt-Syracuse game. And he needed every one of those wins to edge out Lenvillecards, 4x4hokies, CollegeCard and Buckminster Fuller by a single game.

It's a good thing we didn't have to use any of our alternate games. Collectively, we stunk those up, with only Lenvillecards correctly picking LSU, thanks to a botched extra point. Nobody picked Sparty.

I'll post the standings this afternoon.

RE: Pickem Week 6 is open
Here's where we stand after five weeks of play (# of weekly wins in parentheses):

4x4hokies......55 (1)
Bigtexnole......54 (2)
CollegeCard....54
Buck. Fuller.....53 (1)
ken d.............52 (1)
Ole Blue.........52
samandrea.....52
Wilkie01.........51
Lenvillecards...50
gt swagger......48
otacon............48
ChrisLords.......45

Will 4x4hokies start to feel the pressure this week? There's a crowd breathing down his neck. I'll try to find some tossups this week. So far, they've been hard to find.

Feel free to give rep points to those who show their sports acumen by rising to the top!
