Well, let's see how my first attempt at prognostication worked out.
Alabama vs. Western Carolina
Predicted: Alabama 38, W Carolina 10
Actual: Alabama 52, W Carolina 6
Ok, so I figured Saint Nick would call off the dogs. Silly me.
Arkansas vs. Troy
Predicted: Arkansas 31, Troy 17
Actual: Arkansas 46, Troy 26
Eh, close enough.
Auburn vs. Kansas State
Predicted: Auburn 42, Kansas State 17
Actual: Auburn 23, Kansas State 13
It was closer than it appears. And it was K State's game to lose. Which they did, with the help from Auburn's all-world defense.
Fl*rida vs. Western Kentucky
Predicted: Fl*rida a lot, Western Kentucky 3
Actual: Florida 49, Western Kentucky 3
What can I say? I'm that good.
Georgia vs. Oklahoma State
Predicted: Georgia 28, Oklahoma State 20
Actual: Georgia 35, Ok State 14
Georgia looks good.
Kentucky vs. Eastern Kentucky
Predicted: Kentucky 49, E Kentucky 14
Actual: Kentucky 50, E Kentucky 10
This will get harder once real teams start playing other real teams.
Ole Miss at Memphis
Predicted: Ole Miss 13, Memphis 12
Actual: Ole Miss 23, Memphis 21
Memphis was thisclose to tying the game at the end, but the Rebels pulled one out.
South Carolina vs. La-Lafayette
Predicted: USC 38, La-Lafayette 7
Actual: USC 28, La-Lafayette 14
Something's not right with that picture.
Tennessee at California
Predicted: Cal 35, Tennessee 28
Actual: Cal 45, Tennessee 31
Heck of a game.
Vanderbilt vs. Richmond
Predicted: Vandy 21, Richmond 0
Actual: Vandy 41, Richmond 17
I envy Vandy football.
Mississippi State vs. LSU
Predicted: LSU 41, MState 17
Actual: LSU 45, MState 0
Not surprised by LSU's offensive output. Utterly disgusted by MState's "offense".
Weir vs. South Leake
Predicted: Weir 34, South Leake 21
Actual: Weir 43, South Leake 0
I should be surprised, but I'm not.
So that's a 12-0 start. Not bad, but then again, no real surprises from week 1. A couple of close games, but the "team that was supposed to win" did win.
Until next time...

Yes, but did you pick Appalachian State?
Now just a durn minute.
When did this turn into a football blog?
Moo!
I'm pretty sure it turned into a football blog the day it started, given how many times I've sat next to Andy at one game or another.
It was only a matter of time.
I toast Andy with an ice-cold Dr. Pepper.
Good Job.
But I still can't believe this is now a football blog. So tell me...where will YOU be Thursday night? And who will win the Clarkdale/Union game Friday night?>
~:>
This isn't a football blog. This is *my* blog.
Matthew, I didn't pick Appalachian State. Didn't even pick them to cover in my pick 'em contest. I should have known better, since they are HOT HOT HOT.
Thursday night? At work, where I always be.
Clarkdale/Union? I'll say Clarkdale, since they are the home team. But what do I know? I'm just a dumb football blogger. :p
