Brief summary of the rules:
Every PBer in good standing can participate. You don’t have to be an American or even know the rules of college football to compete.
Pick the team you think can win – it’s a head to head competition, so you don’t have to worry about point spreads.

For the tiebreaker, you also have to pick the final score as well as the winner.

All picks have to be in before the kickoff of the first game of the week.

All results subject to Audit.

First, an apology to Ben D. for not giving him an opportunity to go with the underdog in the Syracuse - Clemson matchup, but since Clemson has a home field advantage this week, it got dropped from the list.

Who, last season, would have guessed Coastal Carolina would be in the top 25 as we near the end of October. And isn't this the best ranking SMU has had since they quit paying players in cash?

And finally, the tiebreaker this week features a pair of undefeated nationally ranked team.

On to the list:

Ga Southern @ # 25 Coastal Carolina
Ga State @ Troy
Ga Tech @ BC
FSU @ Louisville
Auburn @ Ole Miss
Oklahoma @ TCU
Middle Tennessee @ Rice
# 17 Iowa State @ # 6 Oklahoma State
# 9 Cincinnati @ # 16 SMU
# 8 Penn State @ Indiana
Iowa @ Purdue
UK @ Missouri
West Virginia @ Texas Tech
South Carolina @ LSU

Tiebreaker – Pick the winner and the final score

# 18 Michigan @ # 21 Minnesota

The way Georgia Tech and Texas Tech have been playing (combined 3-6), I'm not sure it makes much difference. But feel free to change your picks now that the correction has been made.

If it had been the Ga Southern Coastal Carolina game, I would have put you down for Ga Southern anyway. But I didn't know which to put you down for in the Ga State - Troy game. Troy seems to have been the most popular choice.

Arg, I thought I had. My mind must have been rattled after my puppies got whooped by Alabama last week

I wasn't surprised by the end result of the Dawgs - Elephants game, but there are probably some bookies upset with the stunt that Sabin pulled.
 
Now I know the reason why Jean didn't pick a winner in the Troy/GA St. game... she wanted to make a point that she could beat us with one arm tied behind her back!
