If you have not paid, and there are a number of you, it's time to pony up. If you aren't paid up by Friday, or at least have made arrangements with me regarding payment, you will be deducted 5 pts. Fortunately, theprofessor has paid up.

Less games than usual this week, and only a couple of ranked vs. ranked. Note the pick'em between Pitt and NC St.

Pick 5 games against the spread ranked by confidence (5pt, 4pt, 3pt, 2pt, 1pt). Post picks for week in this thread. Pickset is finalized at kickoff of first game in set. HOME team listed in CAPS. All kickoff times ET.

1 = Fresno St. (+16.5)

question. put my picks in this am because wanted to get the Ole Miss game in. was debating between a couple of other games. Can I change a selection before Sat kickoff or are my selections locked after the Thurs kickoff?

mmm sure seems like everyone is going with the Rebels, you know what that usually means.

5 - Florida -21.5
4 - LSU -13.5
3 - Tennessee -21
2- Penn St -10
1 - S. Florida +14.5

I always took this to mean it locked at the first game I picked.

Obviously not the commish, but that has been my interpretation all year. I actually meant to pick the game tonight, but missed the deadline. Oh well, I would've picked Miss minus the 3 points, so I guess my unexpected dinner plans helped me out this week.

Thanks Ole Miss ....... this is getting old very quickly. I can't remember a worst betting streak ever! I'm letting my 4 year old grandson pick the rest of the year. He couldn't do any worse......
