Week 5 sure was something! The Hokies won, other stuff apparently occurred... and UGA didn't have the testicular fortitude to help VTnerf go 6-0.
That performance makes a 3-way tie for 3rd with jotajota (hope I'm pronouncing that correctly) and Harrinpa. 2nd belongs to 👑 James and in first is HortHokie2015 who is out front but checking mirrors more often than a teenager on Prom Night.
In more silver-lined news, no one was skunked so no one has to go streaking. Put your clothes on.
And don't worry, VT is going to remain off of the list until the line is less fatalistic if we don't beat it. Yikes.

MARSHALL at NC STATE (NCS -5.5)
(11) BAMA at Tammies (BAMA -2.5)
Woo Pig Sooie at (16) Ole Miss (Miss -11.5)
(15) Go Beavs, go Cougs at CAL (OSU -9.5)
MARYLAND at (4) OHIO STATE (aOSU -18.5) - 18.5 is a lot. I think OSU will win fairly comfortably, but MD probably gets a backdoor cover to lose by 17. Or maybe they'll win outright? Who knows anymore?
(12) OKLAHOMA at (3) TEXAS (UT -6.5) - OU is scoring 47 PPG. 47!! Texas is only giving up 12.8 PPG. But on the other side, OK is also only giving up 10.8 PPG. TX is managing a meager 36 PPG. IDK, I think since it's a rivalry game it's gotta be close. But I think OU will win outright.
MARSHALL at NC STATE (NCS -5.5) - I initially picked Marshall here. But then I remembered that Armstrong won't be slinging the rock for NCST so now I think NCST will win. Probably by 2 scores.
(11) ALABAMA at aTm (BAMA -2.5) - IDK, hard for me to go against Saban. I think it'll be pretty close, though. Bama by a FG, late.
ARKANSAS at (16) Mississippi (Miss -11.5) - Arkansas' record is a bit misleading. I think they're better than you'd think. I don't think they'll win but I do think they will keep it within two scores.
(15) OREGON STATE at CAL (OSU -9.5) - Similarly, I think Cal will keep it closer than you'd think. I think they lose by 7 or 9, not 10+.

Going with the favorites, I can't choose much worse than last week.
Very irritated. Made my picks last week but apparently the system didn't actually record them. 4-2 but it registered a ZERO.
Did you hit submit after typing in the tiebreaker score? That got me a couple weeks ago. I put in the tiebreaker and hit the enter key so it set my tiebreaker score, but didn't save all of my picks.
Thought I did. And while 4-2 was good for me, I am no where near in the running for anything other than last place.
I'm right there with you this year.

Full disclosure: I'm not confident in any of these games either. That's why I pick em!
While the writers are on strike, management has decided to turn over the "Picksburg" timeslot to the Nature Channel which will provide riveting television as they follow the migration habits of certain animals and uncover fascinating archaeological finds.
Scientist have been following a specific turtle species that has fled Atlantic coastal areas to nest in primarily mid-western climates where they converted their diet to cracking open buckeyes. Other strange migration patterns have emerged out west where beavers, that are being left behind in a dying area of the Pacific region, have taken to gnawing off the legs of golden bears, who are somehow showing up in the Atlantic region. Meanwhile, restless packs of wolves trying to migrate southeast have been trampled by thunderous herds roaming the regions looking for a better home.
Out west, archaeologist have uncovered that long horns were driven out of 12 big areas to the southeast by covered wagons, where the long horns were domesticated Sooner or later. These same archaeologists determined that elephants used to roam the southeast area stomping on aggie farmers for invading their territory. New evidence also suggests that during the Civil War rebels from the southeast used to slaughter razorbacks by the thousands hoping to create a better habitat for long horns in hopes that the long horns would compete with the elephants for resources.
I'm really enjoying this series

Thanks OSU for the late field goal!
You mean thanks for the late TD!
0-4 so far!
I can at least say i've been consistent this year
Update:
Good luck everyone as we move into the second half of the season.
That is well done!
I need a lot of help to see it in person.
Will look great on my tiara
Shit, it was bound to happen that I would miss a week
Self-imposed bye weeks are a Pick 6 tradition.
