2018 Atlas CFB Pick Em Contest

[GeorgiaModerate]

1. Duke has the superior overall talent to Army, and while the Black Knights should keep this interesting, I think the Blue Devils will win a close one. Army 30, Duke 23.

Your reasoning doesn't seem to match the prediction.

[GeorgiaModerate]

We should stop now.  I have a perfect record so far.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Anybody pick any big upsets today?

I picked Troy over Boise State.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Never pick Texas in OOC play apparently....

It's only the second quarter and they are only down ten.

It's still quite possible Texas can comeback...and they better, given I picked them too.

Texas just cut it to 24-22 right before halftime.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Second year in a row where Texas fell way behind Maryland in their opening game and came storming back, only to fall short.

[GeorgiaModerate]

The Georgia-Austin Peay game is playing a shortened 4th quarter (10 minutes) because of Georgia's huge lead.  When did this become a rule?

[GeorgiaModerate]

Auburn continues to be the luckiest team on Earth. Every calls goes their way.

I've been convinced since 2013 that Auburn had a deal with the Devil.

[GeorgiaModerate]

App State just took the lead over Penn State with under 3 minutes left.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Penn St. just tied it at 38 with 42 seconds left.

[GeorgiaModerate]

App State & Penn State are going to OT.  App State missed a 56-yard FG with 15 seconds left.  It's on Big 10 Network for those who have it.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Penn State hung on in OT, 45-38.

On the 10-minute 4th quarter in the Georgia game, from the ESPN game story:

Well, I learned something new today.

So, technically I was both right and wrong at the same time.

That's the most Atlas line ever.

[GeorgiaModerate]

10 minutes left in the 2nd quarter: Memphis 42, Mercer 0.  I thought Memphis's high-powered offense would slow down this year after the players they graduated, but perhaps not.

Are you Schrödinger's cat? 😹

I could be...or I could not be.

You're really on a roll tonight.

[GeorgiaModerate]

UCLA lost to Cincinnati, everyone picked UCLA.

It would appear that UCLA needs to stop scheduling AAC teams.

[GeorgiaModerate]

LSU is looking a whole lot better than Miami so far (17-3 with 9 minutes left in the first half).

[GeorgiaModerate]

Duke 21, Northwestern 7 (halftime)
Miss. St 17, Kansas St. 3 (halftime)
Houston 31, Arizona 0 (late 1st half)
South Florida 21, Ga. Tech 17 (haltime)
Oklahoma 7, UCLA 7 (early)

Not in the game but interesting: Wisconsin only up 10-7 over New Mexico at halftime.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Ga. Tech/USF is a terrific game.  USF just scored to go up 42-38 with 5 minutes left.

[GeorgiaModerate]

USF beat Georgia Tech 49-38, after trailing 38-28 with 12 minutes left.

[GeorgiaModerate]

I've been really hurt today by a couple of late comebacks - Colorado over Nebraska and Navy over Memphis.

[GeorgiaModerate]

I am the best.

Too early to call.  Wait for the Election Day vote.

[GeorgiaModerate]

The UNC and NC State games have both been canceled.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Not on the list, but Virginia Tech has also called off their game against East Carolina due to Florence.

Wake Forest's Thursday night game against Boston College has been moved to 5:30 PM on Thursday, and Virginia's home game against Ohio has been moved to Nashville, with Vanderbilt hosting.

How many people is that game going to draw in Nashville? 50?

[GeorgiaModerate]

Not in the contest, but upset alert: Troy (on the road) leads Nebraska 17-7 at the half.
