SoWal 2010 NCAAF Pick'ems

[CPort]

Words can't even express how disappointed I am of this weeks pick em's. I really must suck this year, its disturbing actually. I am thinking I might not even do this next year at all. But, who am I kidding? Come next year, I will probably change my mind knowing me because I just love college football pick em's too much even though I continue to decline while everyone else does good. Alas, at least florida state did not let me down, but notre dame continues on their wayward path of being the most pathetic team I have laid eyes on yet & continues to let me down. I was surprised by the yellow jackets lack of defense to be honest, I expected much more of them. Tennessee continues their woes of terrible 3rd down conversions which stands at I believe 0 for 31 now this year. It took two overtimes to beat UAB, wow that doesn't say much for our program thats for sure. Once again, I find that this week was a total for me.

goodness me, do you know something that i don't about this "friendly little pick'em? such drama!!!!!!!:roll:

That's my son for you. Unhappy with two weeks in a row of finishing 9-6, at least it wasn't 7-8, and was above 50%. Might not be happy also because his wife and mom both finished 11-4 for week 4. Last year I did bad the first 3 weeks in a row, and if I recall in the negative, or might as well have been. And started out 7-8 week 1 this year. I at any minute can have another week like that and most likely will. But oh well, it is what it is.

Anything can happen on any given Haturday...:roll:

Anything can happen on any given Haturday huh? The Vols barely escaped against UAB, and did absolutely nothing in the second half of that game, QB got sacked 5 times, the Vols had very little yards in both the 3rd and 4th quarters. Just got lucky in the overtimes. But after seeing GA's woes several weeks in a row I'm now thinking we might be able to beat them after all.

Holy crap tough tough picks

I couldn't agree with you more. Was so excited that Auburn wasn't on the list and they did even worse by putting Texas A&M and Texas both on the picks. I have to remember no emotional picks. Texas played like girls this past weekend. My parents went to Texas, my dad played football for Texas. My niece, LSU Tiger, is marrying a Longhorn next month. Picking those Aggies was a sin growing up. Oh, this is going to be a tough tough week.

I agree Iris, you have to take out the emotion when it comes to picking games, and thats hard for me to do!

Here's how I look at it.

On average we miss 20%-50% of our picks. Even Vegas is in that range. I try to objectively pick the winner, and if that goes against my heart's pick, I hope that pick will be one of my losses.

I couldn't agree with you more. When I realized that GT was not going to win I started shouting for NC St. Last night I realized that I was the loser in my NFL picks so I started the evening yelling for Chicago....sometimes your favorite losing team wins.
