Tom - The triple option has been stopped before and I have an idea it will again. Johnson finagled his way into a real conference nd is having success but so far it’s mostly been against the Atlantic. That trend continues on Saturday. Hokies WRONG!
Kevin - Back to where it all began, this time with better results. Tackle the Triple Option? I want to see the Wreck tackle Lil' Sweetness first. Hokies WRONG!
Jay - A pivotal game for both Techs. If the Hokies win this one a berth in the ACC Championship game is almost a lock and so much more is possible for the Hokies. It says here the Hokie defense can shut down GT‘s offense the same way Miami did and that will be enough. Hokies win! WRONG!
Vip - I like our chances with Bud Foster having a year to get ready for an offense that makes Jackets' fans cringe when you call it "gimmicky." Therefore, GIMMICKY!!!! VT over GT, 27-20. WRONG!
Ivan - back to tbilisi's GITto to recover glennon's jersey. tech, the one and only. WRONG!
Paul - Hokies return to the ATL and have better success this time and seize control of the Costal Division. WRONG!
Curmudgeon - I'm pulling for the good guys. Virginia Tech WRONG!
John - Hokies silence last remaining critics with a complete game in Hotlanta. WRONG!
Jim - Back to Atlanta. Tech wins this time. WRONG!
Tom - The Terps have been horrible against bad competition. That trend probably continues too. hoos
Kevin - Harry Houdini has nothing on our guy al. Hoos even their record as Swofford turns down algroh's request to rename the upcoming month to the current one we're in.
Jay - Hey, it’s October so I’ll take UVA to win even if it is a road game. Algroh rules!
Vip - The 2009 Schizo Bowl. Twerps win, 14-10. WRONG!
Ivan - pilot notches one more dub-ya on his "this is it" tour.
Paul - Break up the Hoos!! They take out the Turtles.
Curmudgeon - The Hoos will make turtle soup out of the Terripins. Virginia
John - Hoo cares? Hoos win, though. Big.
Jim - Boy, what a game! Terps win WRONG!
Tom - Wake doesn't do so hot on the road but Clemson doesn't do so hot anywhere but might give the home team a slight edge. Tigers
Kevin - 5-3 just might get it done for Clem. The city of Tampa sure hopes so now that Pa Bowden is intent on letting 2010 be the year he goes contemplates going out on that "high note". Tigers turn it around at home.
Jay - Picking a winner in the ACC’s Atlantic division of weakness is folly. When all else fails take the home team. Clemson, gulp!
Vip - Clem at home is a safe pick---NOT! Still, Tigers win 31-20.
Ivan - bah, tigers... stick a fork in them. demon lumberjacks. WRONG!
Paul - Methinks the Deacs have the better QB play, I'll take them in a tight one. WRONG!
Curmudgeon - Not sure about this one, but will go with the home team. Clemson
John - Florists are on a roll - poor Clem has mailed it in. WRONG!
Jim - Last call for Clem. Tigers win.
Tom - BC looked horrible last week but they typically win at home. State last lost to Duke at home. Eagles
Kevin - TOB hasn't defeated his former team since his departure. No reason to think that changes now that he's joined algroh in "ACC coaches who have lost to Duke Since 2004". Spaz continues the Fredo mystique at home.
Jay - Another matchup of ACC Atlantic flotsam, this time featuring last week’s Duke victim at what is left of BC after the Hokies stripped the Eagles of any and all confidence. Oh, btw did I mention that BC’s ex HC returns to Boston for this game? Could have been a heck of a story if either of these teams were worth crap, but they aren’t. Gotta pick one to win, I’ll take State again. WRONG!
Vip - BC looked absolutely putrid last week. Following that logic, they'll win over Tom's brigade, 24-20.
Ivan - umass rejects welcome back TOBy (you'd better wear a helmet). basterd kolledj.
Paul - It has been rumored that BC is considering changing their names to the Possums because they get killed when they head out on the road. Since this is a home game and since NC State's D was shown, um, vulnerable, I'll go with the Fightin' Fredos.
Curmudgeon - Another toughie. Neither team looked good last week. I'll go with Fredo. Boston College
John - BC will rebound after being trounced on Wosham Field.
Jim - Well, the Pack can't look any worse. State wins. WRONG!
Tom - Neither team has really played or beaten anybody other than Oklahoma's losses. I guess that means Hook'em. Horns
Kevin - A little help, please. Not that I'm counting chickens or anything later in the day, but I'd take it just the same. Sooners WRONG!
Jay - Texas
Vip - Just read a damn good book on the rich history of this rivalry. "Running With the Big Dogs" by MIke Shropshire. UT in a thriller, 35-31
Ivan - bradford or not, bevo bulldozes settlers.
Paul - hrow out the record books for this rivalry game. Texas has had the upper hand the last few years, but for some reason, I have a feeling that OU will spring the upset. WRONG!
Curmudgeon - Going with heart over mind in this one. Oklahoma WRONG!
John - Is this the RUTS game? Hook 'em. By 17 points or more.
Jim - Wishful thinking. Horns win.
Tom - The Irish want this loss out of the way early. Men of Latex
Kevin - What does it take to get bonus points around here? A little help, Charlie. Jimmy won't let the Lamers lose WRONG!
Jay - USC
Vip - Come out and get yer whippin, Clausen!. USC-W wins 44-14.
Ivan - song girls will get charlie distracted. la rubbers.
Paul - Two weeks for USC to prepare is one week too many, even if they are playing in a hay field. Trojans.
Curmudgeon - It's better if the lower ranked ND wins, but can't do it. U$C
John - Ribbed or psychedelic? Doesn't matter, Irish go down.
Jim - Are the Irish that good? Of course not. Trojans win.
Tom - I saw nothing about Mizzou that convinced me they were anything but overrated. Cowboys
Kevin - Suh happens, Mizzou. Better luck this week vs. the TBoones. I'll call it - Tigers WRONG!
Jay - OK State at home
Vip - Okie State wins 30-20.
Ivan - cute pair of irrelevants. lets go with cowmen.
Paul - Oklahoma State.
Curmudgeon - I assume Mizzou is pretty good. I hope so. Missouri WRONG!
John - Go with the Mo-Mo. WRONG!
Jim - Nice 4th Quarter, Tigers. Cowboys win.
Tom - Wonderful, another Big 11 game. Aren't they a great conference this year. They won at PSU so what the hell. Hawkeyes
Kevin - Iowa isn't all that. Wiscy WRONG!
Jay - I’ll take Iowa here, they’ve earned the pick. WRONG!
Vip - Badgers win 21-17. WRONG!
Ivan - as if. badgers, of course. WRONG!
Paul - Wisconsin springs the home upset by a late FG. WRONG!
Curmudgeon - Battle of the Iowa Class battleships. BB61 vs BB63. Heart says BB63. Wisconsin WRONG!
John - Gotta go with Iowa here.
Jim - Two teams to which I pay little attention. Wisconsin wins. WRONG!
Tom - Fudge Gruck. Saban and Visor Boy love one another and it will probably be somewhat close; for a few minutes. Bama
Kevin - This should be the RUTS game. Bama
Jay - Will be a good game but Bama is too tough.
Vip - 'Bamas "D" is too tough. Tide rolls 28-10.
Ivan - jim, let's drop bummer until sec title. we know they'll roll until then. tide.
Paul - The Tide rolls over the Cocks.
Curmudgeon - Thinking that Bama is one of the top 2 if not top teams in the country this is easy. Alabama
John - Lemme think...... uh, TIDE. BIG.
Jim - Decent games were hard to come by. Bama wins.
Tom - You don't get to be 5 - 1 by losing on the road but who knows. What the hell? I'm last. 'Nova
Kevin - They sure don't get any easier this week in the FCS division for the Dukes. Gotta go with Mickey, JC, and Coach Malone over Nova. WRONG!
Jay - My head says take ‘Nova but a lifetime of dealing with donkeys from Philly compels me to take the Dukes WRONG!
Vip - Dukes at home, 41-27. WRONG!
Ivan - jim, if you gonna dig up caa, don't make us pick between 2-3 and 5-1... nova
Paul - Gotta go with the home-state boys. JMU WRONG!
Curmudgeon - Battle of D1AA heavy weights. Villanova
John - JMU whould get it done WRONG!
Jim - See above. JMU wins WRONG!
Tom - I don't doubt the Canes will be watching what's going on in Atlanta but they should be able to pound these guys. Canes by 28
Kevin - Canes still steamrolling through the state of Florida by moving south after finishing off the town of Tallahassee last weekend. This week by only 8.
Jay - Miami’s injury list is as long as their team rap sheet during the 80s and that’s saying something. It says here the Canes win by 10, no more.
Vip - Miami continues their "nearly-back" tour, winning 44-14
Ivan - beach pigeons by 28.
Paul - Canes by 17 WIN!
Curmudgeon - Canes by 35
John - Miami by 24
Jim - Canes by 31.
