Pick'em game rules
The game will run weekly through the college football season, including the bowl games and playoff. Terry will post each week's slate of games in this thread. There will usually be 25 games (schedule permitting) and may include some FCS games.
Make your picks by replying in this thread one or more times; don’t send them by PM to either him or me. You can either copy the list of games and bold your predicted winners, or just post your list of winners.
If bolding your winners, games with zero or both teams bolded will not be counted. If listing your winners, slight errors in team names will be counted if the intent is unambiguous. For example, in a Georgia Tech vs Florida State game, writing “Florida” would be counted as a pick of Florida State, but “Georgia State” would not be counted. I (or anyone) may point out such errors so you have a chance to correct them, but this is not guaranteed to happen – ultimately, you’re responsible for getting your picks posted correctly.
Your pick for a game must be posted before the official start time for that game. This is a hard cutoff. You can change any of your picks by making a subsequent post, as long as it's before the game start time. Please post a new reply for any changes; just editing your original post is easy for me to miss and could also raise timestamp questions.
You don’t have to post your whole list at once. For example, in a week with Friday and Saturday games, you could optionally post only the Friday game picks by Friday, and then follow up with the Saturday games on Saturday morning. Or if you forget and miss the Friday games, you can still post picks for Saturday's games.
If a game is canceled or postponed for weather or some other reason: if it's just delayed within its originally scheduled week, it remains on the list for that week. If it's pushed to a later week or delayed indefinitely, it becomes a "no contest" for the original week. If it's rescheduled and comes up again on a later week's pick'em list, that's considered a new game and you'll need to pick it again; the original pick will not carry over.
Each correct pick is worth one point. After all of the week’s games are complete (usually on Sunday morning) I’ll post the results for that week and the year-to-date standings.

NewYorkExpress:
Saturday, August 27
Nebraska (Nebraska probably needs to make a bowl game at a minimum for Scott Frost to keep his job)
UTEP
Vanderbilt (Vanderbilt might be the worst team in the SEC, but I think they are better than Hawaii)
Thursday, September 1
Pittsburgh (I don't think Pittsburgh will be a contender in the ACC again, but they should win this one)
Penn State (Purdue usually isn't very good in football)
Friday, September 2
Illinois (Two really bad Big Ten teams go at it. Also my first upset pick of the week, largely because I owe the number of Illini homers on the board favors.)
TCU (Colorado's also been really bad at football for a while)
Saturday, September 3
Boston College (Another pair of mediocrities going at it)
Appalachian State (I'm mildly surprised the line is as close as it is, but I think North Carolina is overrated, even more so than they were last year)
NC State
Cincinnati (This will be a harder test for the Bearcats than last year's game against Notre Dame, but Cincinnati is well equipped to defeat a talented SEC side, especially since Arkansas is not one of the top sides in the SEC. This is my second upset pick of the week)
Georgia (I want to pick Oregon, I really do, but Georgia is just too good.)
San Diego State
Houston
Nevada
Florida (I think Florida's rebuild is going to be further along than people realize, and beating a top PAC-12 side on opening day seems like it's not a stretch)
Coastal Carolina
Liberty
Mississippi State
Notre Dame (I think the Buckeyes can afford an opening week loss to Notre Dame and still make the Playoff, especially if they win the Big Ten. This is my third Upset Pick)
SMU
Louisville
Boise State (Oregon State football is horrible these days)
Sunday, September 4
LSU (I'm not sure why the line is so close. LSU should crush Florida State in my opinion.)

West Virginia @ Pittsburgh 7 PM EDT ESPN
Penn State @ Purdue 8 PM EDT FOX
Friday, September 2nd
Illinois @ Indiana 8 PM EDT FS1 (Indiana will probably be favored in this game, but I will bank on the fact that Illinois should already have gotten a win under its belt in Week 0, and that Illinois was trending up at the end of last season while Indiana was trending down.)
