TPC: This is a good game to play to learn more about college football. The odds that Vegas comes out with, basically make your picks a 50/50 chance. So, really, it's sometimes as much luck as anything else to win this thing. In fact, some weeks there are so many upsets (like this past weekend) that no one does better than 5 out of 10. Truthfully, if anyone got an 8 or 9 on this thing this week.. I'd say.. wow that person knows nothing about college football.. LOL.

Anyway, I've been doing pools for a 'few' years now and it's actually a fun way to learn a sport. You'd be amazed how much closer attention you pay when you have something at stake.. even if it's only bragger's rights like this pool is.

Well, why should anything else have gone right this weekend? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" />

7 or 8 losses? Uh, no. We don't have that many teams as good as Miami on our schedule, dude... and we won't play that poorly every game either.

teams as good as Miami?? this was Miami of Ohio, not Miami of Florida.

you're saying that State, Syracuse, Texas, Fla St, G Tech, Maryland, and Clemson aren't as good as a 6-5 MAC team???

Is Miami 6-5 this year? My bad -- I thought they were 1-0. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" />

I don't believe Syracuse is better -- so "no." I'll let you know about the rest when I see them in action. You better believe we will beat a few of those teams, though... so that would mean less than 8 losses.

As it is, I think Miami is better than State. Yes, I said that. They have a better QB, at least (and this is supposed to be State's major strength). Believe it or not, Carolina and State are close to each other in talent. State just has that cake schedule that is allowing them to walk all over everyone so far....
