2023 PB College Football Pick-em Week 2 (ATTN: Friday Game)

[greenbaggins]

Now that I have a flaming Scotsman to my credit, I will be waiting to post my own guesses each week. Usually I only squeak in at the end, and I didn't want to do that this year. Anyway, onwards! Some really intriguing matchups this week, despite the fact that league games haven't really started yet.

Bold move picking TX! Thinking about last year's game tempted me to do the same! (But I figure that for this week I'd already picked enough underdogs for one week...)

Fortune favors the bold this time.

Greetings Pickers,

This week's games had some remarkable upsets (Rice holding on to win in 2OT after Houston spotted them three first quarter touchdowns) and some less surprising ones (Texas taking Alabama to the woodshed in a raucous fourth quarter) and a bunch of great games. Three of us (Ben, Mark, and me) topped the charts with 8 correct picks (why did I pick Iowa State?) and Ben's score prediction of 38-28 was the closest to the actual score (49-35) of the Georgia Southern - UAB barnburner.
Our season's third goes to Ben!

Yay me!

Drat! Foiled again!

Fortune favors the bold this time.

Very bold. I might have picked them if they still had Bijan Robinson, and they WERE robbed by the refs last year, but that was in Austin.
