Holy wow, what a Saturday in college football. To say that the world of college football got turned on it’s head this past weekend is an understatement. And our picks pretty much went the same way as well. Garret overall did the best this week, followed by Daniel and myself, then Molly, and Chris.

Garret 8-4 (52-14)
Daniel 7-5 (53-13)
Katie 7-5 (52-14)
Molly 5-7 (33-16) *didn’t participate week 1
Chris 4-8 (27-25) *didn’t have guest picker week 1

Sarah is back as our guest picker this week. In case you weren’t here last time Sarah guest picked, she is a die hard Tennessee fan/grad who lives in Dallas now and runs the blog Venus Trapped in Mars. (Oh and her dogs are literally the cutest things ever in the history of ever.)

Molly’s Picks

Molly isn’t picking this week due to being on the road for business.

Katie’s Picks

#1 Ohio St v Maryland
#2 TCU @ K-State
#3 Baylor @ Kansas
#4 Michigan St @ Rutgers
#5 Utah v #23 Cal After watching Cal play Texas a couple of weeks ago, I think they can really give Utah a run for their money. This is going to be a great game.
#6 Clemson v Ga Tech Sorry Daniel! I just really want Clemson and Florida State to lose before they play each other in a couple of weeks. I think Tech is the best team, in a subpar ACC, to pull the upset.
#7 LSU @ South Carolina I know this game got moved to Tiger Stadium. But I have a feeling the OBC and the Gamecocks will show up and play their hearts out. Not to mention, the fact LSU is going to make this as much as home game atmosphere for SC as possible, that’ll definitely fuel their fire. I honestly hope that South Carolina wins the game, not only to boost the morale of the program but to boost the morale of the state.
#8 Alabama v Arkansas
#9 Texas A&M – bye week
#10 Oklahoma v Texas I’m still picking Texas. I don’t care what other people say. The only place this Texas team can go is up and my unyielding optimism thinks this will be the game that Texas will finally turn it around. Especially after the embarrassment last week against TCU and the nail biters the prior 2 weeks at home. #letsride #hookem

#19 Georgia at Tennessee We’ll be out for blood after last week’s game. I think it will be close until the 3rd quarter and then Georgia breaks away.
Mercer @ Western Carolina

#11 Florida @ Mizzou Because I will absolutely never ever cheer for Florida and who the hell wants them to become eligible? (besides Garret)
#15 Notre Dame v Navy Two words. SWAIN. TRAIN.

Garret’s Picks

#1 Ohio St v Maryland who still shouldn’t be in the B1G
#2 TCU @ K-State ….Barely
#3 Baylor @ Kansas because this isn’t the mythical 2007 Jayhawks team
#4 Michigan St @ Rutgers who also shouldn’t be in the B1G. STOP SWITCHING CONFERENCES, GUYS!
#5 Utah v #23 Cal and the Pac-12 burns
#6 Clemson v Ga Tech but I wouldn’t be surprised if Clemson somehow Clemson’s itself
#7 LSU @ South Carolina because Leonard Fournette is just scary
#8 Alabama v Arkansas since Nick Saban still has a deal with the devil
#9 Texas A&M – bye week
#10 Oklahoma v Texas OU takes Texas behind the woodshed

#19 Georgia at Tennessee Tennessee upsets Georgia…and I celebrate
Mercer @ Western Carolina extends Mercer’s losing streak

#11 Florida @ Mizzou UF survives Mizzou to become bowl eligible. Who the hell saw that coming?
#15 Notre Dame v Navy

An extra pick from G (that won’t count in his W-L record) Undefeated Northwestern plays Michigan in Ann Arbor in what should be a great contest. I’ve got Michigan winning this one just like their women’s soccer team did over Northwestern this week.

Daniel’s Picks

#1 Ohio St v Maryland
#2 TCU @ K-State
#3 Baylor @ Kansas
#4 Michigan St @ Rutgers
#5 Utah v #23 Cal
#6 Clemson v Ga Tech
#7 LSU @ South Carolina
#8 Alabama v Arkansas
#9 Texas A&M – bye week
#10 Oklahoma v Texas

#19 Georgia at Tennessee
Mercer @ Western Carolina

#11 Florida @ Mizzou
#15 Notre Dame v Navy

Sarah’s Picks

#1 Ohio St v Maryland
#2 TCU @ K-State
#3 Baylor @ Kansas
#4 Michigan St @ Rutgers
#5 Utah v #23 Cal gotta go with a home field goal post tear down!
#6 Clemson v Ga Tech
#7 LSU @ South Carolina Not sure if y’all saw the article about LSU sending a charter plane for SC, but it was a really standup gesture. There were also a few other things LSU will do to make SC fans feel at home. https://www.seccountry.com/louisiana-state/lsu-lending-charter-plane-to-gamecocks
#8 Alabama v Arkansas
#9 Texas A&M – bye week
#10 Oklahoma v Texas because Oklahoma fans are making my drive home today twice as long as it needs to be. (Sarah, completely agree with you.. OU boooo.)

#19 Georgia at Tennessee because I have to
Mercer @ Western Carolina
#11 Florida @ Mizzou
#15 Notre Dame v Navy
