Directions: Make ten picks from the games below. Links are provided to help you, if you like. Don't forget to pick the tiebreak. All entries must be recorded by noon EST on Saturday. The prize is being hailed as a genius in this space - winner will be posted by Monday evening. Good Luck!
For the record, the second full week of the college football season is usually on of the worst. This is because league play hasn't really started yet, and the big boys won't play each other. Even the little boys don't play each other, instead playing some of the bigger schools for some extra revenue. So I did my best to find games that should be close - next week should provide better matchups.

AND... the winner is... crazybill5280
All Hail crazybill5280, the winner extraordinarre.
If Oklahoma holds on to win, he will have selected an amazing nine out of ten correctly. (Even if the Sooners lose, everyone picked 'em, so the standings will remain the same.)
TheDude earns the bridesmaid award, only one correct pick behind.
Congrats to crazybill5280!!
