    why include hyper-dreck matchups? why no ND VT? utah furd? I say this every year but you really should be using something like Yahoo to just do this programmatically, instead of manually taking hours

    If you think you can do a better job than FMB running the pick 'em, then maybe step up to the plate next year. We're lucky FMB runs the pick 'em at all.
    Don't care that much just trying to help the dude out

    Really? It certainly sounds like you care.

    19) Texas vs. 7) Oklahoma
    Buffalo at Central Michigan
    Syracuse at Pitt
    5) LSU at 22)Florida
    FSU at 18) Miami
    ASU at Colorado
    13) Kentucky at Texas A&M
    10) Washington at UCLA
    Wyoming at Hawaii

    Do not feel good about A&M, but I know I can't count on all the road favorites winning.

    I try not to repeat teams too much, except for Washington and maybe Oregon and WSU, since we have fans of those teams on here. The dreck is just me being weird, but I try not to do it too much. I did Utah and Furd last week. But...I will take all of the input into consideration. Bill is a man of the people, after all.

    I have it done. It's a home. I'll either poast late tonight (like 11 MST) or tomorrow. My life sucks and I'm a workaholic.

    I support FMB and 'dreck' picks, makes it more challenging.

    AZDuck

    News and notes:

    Still need to look into PGOS and AZDuck scores, but I believe @PostGameOrangeSlices should be 23-12 overall. I miss shit so I might have missed @AZDuck a week, but I am 99% sure he missed at least a week. Plus he's in the gulag, so what's he going to do? Bwahahaha

    I am still doing overalls. I sort of have some free time today, so hopefully they are done today, but I don't want to promise it and have people get mad.

    For those who care....we have gradually sunk down to 37 participants (this week). It's good in a way for me (less work), but on the other hand, high numbers gives a little validation to my barren life and soul. Either way, it's interesting.

    As for the lame games, i.e. Buffalo at Central Michigan or whatever Mac or MW trash I do occasionally, I did that last year. It's annoying to maybe 10-20%, but I'm a quirky, creative, stable, genius, and I do stuff like that. I also don't like to repeat the same teams too much, except for Northwest ones. At the same time, I'm not going to pass up many match ups with two top 25 teams.

    @AZDuck

    Sorry bro. You did all the first four weeks. I'm assuming you did them in time? I went through it quickly, so it's going to need to be double checked later. I'll update it in the overalls. But with the banhammer, you will be missing a couple of weeks here no matter what. So you'll still be eligible, but it'll be hard to crack the top 10. I'm still working on the overalls. It's hard.

    Unofficially but sort of officially:

    Jhf is 29-6, Gladdy and salem are 28-7, greenblood, obk, ncdawg38, whatshouldicareabout are 26-9. Everyone else sucks

    I didn't suck this week though. Just all the other ones.

    So I work 12.5 hours this weekend. My computer is fucked up...not beyond repair, but it sucks. I am too dumb to know exactly what the issue is. Too much Xhamster maybe, or memory and storage problems. Be jealous. I'm going to just post the top several for now. Everyone else sucks. I'm still looking into Duck's thing. I usually write "x gets last picks in" so there aren't disputes when the time stamps go away. I'll poast the full list Monday. So sorry... I try to stay on top of this crap, but lately it's hard.

    1st. 29-6

    I think everyone else (who picked this/last week) is between 15 and 25 wins.

    Well, the last two weeks dropped me from top 10 to about 40th. Good job. Good effort. FML.

    Didn’t want you to feel shitty about yourself, so I went ahead and sabotaged my efforts to drop from top 5 down to be with you.

    Since DNC is dead and gone, figured it wouldn’t be a problem to offer some company.
