Week One is in the books. Some of the games were closer than expected and other games went just like the book was written. As far as the expert picks there were no real disappointments as most experts had very similar picks. Many of you also had similar picks. The only big thing that stood out was that all experts had CSU to win over CU. Quite the opposite happened as CU dominated CSU with ease. Maybe the expert picks give an insight into why college football has been a turn off for some since the inception of the BCS and the prior systems of the Bowl Alliance and the Bowl Coalition. There is no reward for playing big name teams. In fact it seems you are rewarded for playing inferior competition. Sure the little guys may win a game or two when they are clear underdogs (i'e:Jackson State over Ole Miss or North Dakota State over Kansas ), but if you are a gambling man, You have some safe bets this week. There clearly are favored teams this week much like last week. One way to tell if you are favored in MWC competition this week? If you play a MWC team or you are a MWC team and your name has Texas in it you will win...you will more than likely win your game. Place your picks and remember this thread locks at kick off of the first MWC game that is played this Saturday.

...and if you were wondering...snoscythe was dry heaving knowing that he has had to pick UofU two weeks in a row so he asked if the U helmet could be placed upside-down...request granted.

The experts picks are boring this week. I also think they're 100% right.
I concur across the board.

The only one I even thought twice about was the SDSU game. I also think CSU could surprise us, but if I picked them, it wouldn't be a surprise.

[Schmoe]

Yep, the picks look solid across the board.

There was a part of me that wanted to play the role of Jason Franchuk and have multiple underdog picks....then I thought...I don't want to be like that dork.

As far as the picks getting interesting...I think that will happen come conference play.

I suggest that you throw in 2 national games of interest each week, along with the MWC picks, to make it tougher. Michigan-Notre Dame would be fun to pick, so would UCLA-Stanford, etc. The MWC games are just too by the books.

I think everyone nailed it this week I wouldn't change a thing.

Well, you could add Boise State, Fresno State, and Nevada, since they're in the MWC soon.
Or you could add Army, Navy, and Notre Dame, to help expose us to the world of being Indy.
Or Utah State, Hawaii, Oregon State, and Texas, since they will be staples on the schedule the next few years.

How it is now ain't bad though, and you usually don't change these things the 3rd week in.

Add me to the consensus of the experts.
