The season's just started, Seahawk. Give yourself time to get revved-up.

Here are this week's games for the Stupid Underdog Picks. If you didn't play in Week 1, and want to join the game - jump on in!! Missing a week here and there isn't a crusher in this game.

HOW TO PLAY
Pick THREE games from the chart below. If the Underdog wins a game outright, you get the Points for that game. Whoever accumulates the most Points by the end of the year wins!

Changing my strategy. I'm just going for the big points, in hopes that one can pull off an upset.

So...

Yesterdays Rutgers game was so depressing, to dominate so much in the first half and at halftime be tied 0-0 was just awful. And then in the 4th down 3 to allow them to convert a 3rd-23 was mindboggling. Though I prefer to lose a game because we just didnt execute rather than lose a game because we werent good enough to win. The team definitely can challenge for the Big East title.

Was at the Alabama/Clemson game this weekend - what a blast for a Tide fan!!! I haven't had time to watch the tivo of the game yet, but I'm anxious to hear what they say about my boys.

Apparently I need some help on choosing which teams to give confidence points to!

I only missed three games for the week but I'm in next to last place!

I'm overrated and upset prone, just like Georgia. Wish I'd gone more than a handful of points on East Carlolina

My goal is to pile up the points weekly and force players to make wild picks later on.

You think beating Florida International merits a spot on the list. No. Sorry. But Kansas can work its way on with harder opponents.

You weren't watching the games so much as watching the AP poll.

Well of course I didn't watch all Top 25 games, but I watched a good part of the majority of them.

Did you notice that Oklahoma State's performance against Washington State was ten times better than Kansas's performance against Florida International? So why should Kansas make the list and Oklahoma State not?

And you were just looking at numerical results instead of actually *watching* the games.

It's not a list. It's ranking the 25 best teams in the country... and by putting Oklahoma State there you are saying that you think they are the 16th best team in the country. Come on.
