The results for last week are in. Mez won. Mez, you may change my signature for this week to anything you want as your prize. Just PM it to me.

Mez had CU over Miami with a 5.375 spread. Eepstein came in second picking FSU over UNC with a 3 point spread.

This week, I am picking Oregon to defeat USC on their home turf even though they are a 3-4 point underdog.

Below is a link to the latest line. Feel free to make your picks and I will summarize them as the week goes on.

I would go with Rutgers. UConn is still suffering from the tragedy and will be down in Miami for the funeral. I don't see them getting up two weeks in a row after a tough loss to WVU. Let me know what you decide.

Mez:

Are you "all in" with Dabo now? Please tell me they will blow an ACC game before the year is over.

All the games that caught my eye have already been picked...I'll come up with one later in the week when the lines move a bit.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but this was actually a good idea 81.

Question though, when you make your pick does the line freeze or is it the final line.

i.e. If Florida is 16 point favorites over UGA and you pick them today, but on Friday they are 18, do you get the 16 or the 18?

Thanks. I through with the gags. Now, I just like to torture AC with random rich guy comments. To answer your question. It's the final line. But as you have learned, if you wait too long then a game you wanted gets snapped up.

I can't speak for Mez, but I'm sure he wouldn't object to a cell pic of one of your 25-30yr old hard bodies as a sig.

I admire your persistance. It must be lonely up there in the Northwest. Your Broncos took a whacking in the BCS this week despite killing Hawaii. That was a big drop to 7.

With all due respect to the esteemed 81, I am not a Cincinnati fan.

In other matters, I'd hit that.

i'm sick of the "all in" saying personally, but i fully support Dabo and Napier and have all season. Napier is actually a friend of mine since his playing days at Furman so i might be a little bias.

Of course, now that we clobbered Wake and beat Miami I think i might switch to being a hater. I haven't decided yet. :pontif

No prize because there was no line so can't compare to other games. Besides, you just want a prize to try to get me to upload 25 yo girl pics. To do that, you will have to win the the next trivia contest which will be next week since it's a bye-week. Plus, I don't know how to upload cell pics anyway.

There was a line in Worcester. Besides, I didn't play points-- I picked HC as an underdog to win.

I want my prize!


So, without a line, how do we know you beat Mez and EE. I already gave you a break changing my avatar when HC87 won the Trivia Contest but you corrected an answer so I gave you the "Running 81" avatar. No more breaks. Next week Trivia 5.0. You will have your chance then.

You've gone to your own head, man.


What? You need to wait a week and win the trivia. I have barely had your avatar up for 10 days. You want to change it again so fast?
