The problem is that Iowa has not been all that impressive this year.  When they lost to Mini-Soda, it's tough to see them beating the Sooners.

I still think it's a close game.
 
Note: I may be a pessimistic Sooner fan.

Twitter is blowing up tonight over Graham. His (former) players are royally ticked off.
 
He was an assistant to Rodriguez at WVU. Learn from the master, eh?

Only four playas? Participation was much better last year.
 
Don't give in to the fear, pick 'em!

 

[TheWuss]

what's up with everybody picking virginia over auburn???
you guys do realize that's VIRGINIA CAVALIERS, not V.TECH HOKIES, right???? 

 

[grokit]

It looks like Mdraluck23 is off to the races with the lone Temple call, great job!

 

[Mdraluck23]

Pure luck

 

[Skylab]

I needed that Ohio win.  Entertaining game.

 

[Mdraluck23]

And now I'm even again. 
 
1/2

 

[grokit]

0/3 here, perfect so far 

 

[Skylab]

Yeah in right behind you at 1-2. Tough to pick these games of teams we have rarely or never seen.

 

[J W]

I had to pick Ohio with local product Tyler Tettleton. And I always suspected that Frank Solich was a pretty good coach.

 
So far two good games and one blowout. Temple, who knew?
 
The games this next week aren't really that juicy; early bowls are much weaker this year than in previous years. Nevada/Southern Miss could be good, but I highly doubt I'll watch it.
 
Edit: Okay, so this is the CFB thread, but WOW. I'm glad to see KC get that win and I always liked Rome Crennel.

I almost picked LA-Lafayette because of the home field advantage, I should have gone with that instinct!
