We’ve got some early week picks just in. Lots from the usual early week crew like Luginbill, Forde, and Bellotti. We got the ULTRA PREMIUM RARE picks from Andre Ware, who currently sits at 1-4 all time in my record. And wouldn’t you know it? It was three days ago that I dropped Matt Millen from my rankings for not picking any games recently, going as far as to create a Sweet Brown meme in his honor. He must be a regular reader of my blog, because he came out and picked a game this week. Anyways, here’s some picks before I go to bed. See you tomorrow.

After a much-hyped Saturday of college football that I wasn’t sure would deliver, I think its safe to say that we got our money’s worth (even though I spent no money). Who could have called it that #3, #4 and #5 in the nation would all go down in on weekend? Well if you read below, the answer is nobody. Plenty of our expects picked Florida over LSU, and South Carolina over Georgia, but NOBODY had NC State upsetting Florida State. In fact guys like Robert Smith and Christian Fauria chuckled and said this would be a blowout for FSU when the game was brought up on First Take college edition.
As a result of the upsets, we had lots of mediocre records this week. Lee Corso showed up nicely with a 9-5 record, including nailing the headgear pick for South Carolina. Guest picker Darius Rucker had a very respectable 7-3 record, including the call for Cal to upset UCLA as well as WVU to beat Texas. Samantha Steele made her first pick ever with Iowa State upsetting TCU, so she is now undefeated. Dr. Lou Holtz went 5-0, including two games that he and Mark May said were double points in their standings. Unfortunately Mark May went 1-4. So did Todd McShay. Brian Griese continues his slide into mediocrity in his debut season going 1-3 this week. Pat Forde’s dominance came to an end with an 11-14 week. This week’s big winners are Tom Luginbill at 6-1, and Dari Nowkhah at 12-3. We also welcome into our little club BCS guru Brad Edwards who is on Gameday Radio, going 7-2 this week. And dropping out of my all-time rankings is Matt Millen, because he was #1 overall but picks about two games a year. Ain’t nobody got time for that. Pages will be updated tomorrow because I’m lazy.
Goodbye Matt Millen
