Week 2 Recap

Looking at Week 2, I don't think we really did that much better as a group, other than Ibisfan. I went 5/11 and 6/11 ATS, for a cumulative 8/22 and 9/22. Fantastic. Also, 0/2 for upsets, which was kind of my gimmick when I first did this; I had some ludicrous streak of like missing 1 over two years. I guess this is what happens when you take a couple of years off.

Other bloggers --
VTFerguson: 6/11, 5/11 ATS (10/22, 10/22)
SHatter: 6/11, 5/11 (11/22, 8/22)
IbisFan33: 9/10, 4/10 (9/10, 4/10)

I had to count these to be sure like 8 times. Everybody's still in it, unless IbisFan33 makes a habit of that. But since he missed the first week, maybe they'll just count against him as all wrong. We'll have to get a ruling from the other bloggers.

I have a few questions after this season.
  • Like why aren't people making fun of the Big XII? Their marquee team lost in a surprise, Colorado looks pretty crappy, Oklahoma State crapped their pants, Missouri almost got beat by Bowling Green (Urban Meyer doesn't coach there anymore), and KState got beat by UL-Lafayette.
  • Are the SEC defenses good or are the offenses crappy? I'm not buying NCSU just yet, so I'm not convinced that they just bottled up SoCar's offense. Garcia grew up a lot in Athens on Saturday, but really? That big of a difference? Georgia might be in for a long season. And Mississippi State scored 24 on Auburn who scored 49? Did Auburn score 49 points all season last year?
  • I'm not choosing us to pick a Notre Dame game until they beat a ranked opponent. I don't want to talk about them and it bothers me that their mascot is a leprechaun because their program is so damn obnoxious and leprechauns are kickass.
  • Central Michigan beat Michigan State, and that's not as big a blot on the Big Ten as you'd think. This could be a renaissance year for them, but we won't know until Bowl Season because they think they're too good to play anybody. CMU's Dan LeFevour is an NFL prospect; he's like a Tebow who is good at passing.
Picks will be up at Wednesday, on location from Clemson, South Carolina.

  1. "Like a Tim Tebow who can pass" Did you just suggest that Lefevour is better than Tim Tebow?

  2. Don't get your panties in a bunch. It was a joke about how Tebow's passing mechanics are less than ideal.
