I cannot believe the Iowa-Iowa State game is not on this list.

Go Hawkeyes!

Curious if you noticed my picks?

 

[Edward]

I cannot believe the Iowa-Iowa State game is not on this list.

Go Hawkeyes!

With a two touchdown spread, it didn't make the cut. (Alabama - Southern Miss with a 48 point spread didn't make the list, either. And last week there were complaints that the Clemson potential blowout was omitted. ) This year you are more likely to see evenly matched second or third string teams than potential blowouts. The Middle Tennessee/Western Kentucky matchup is, on paper, the best game of the week.

See, the game turned into a 3 point blowout. The outcome wasn't in doubt after the final whistle.

Well, we didn’t make a very good showing on the East Carolina – Virginia Tech game.
And a lot of us mis-judged the Arkansas/Texas Tech game.

Wow, I can't believe I got the highest score. On East Carolina, they are not a team to be underestimated. South Carolina has played them around 20 times total, and East Carolina has won about 5 of those matchups. I have to admit, though, I was not expecting them to beat a team that had just beaten Ohio State. They obviously massively underestimated East Carolina.
