OBNUG Pick 'Em Contest - Week 8

I was out earlier this week with "flu-like symptoms," however I feel like I'm on the upswing now. Thanks to Kevan for putting together the results post. As a thank you gift, I will drop his lowest score on the final tally.

Nick's Picks

Wow, I've been terrible this year. I'm blaming it on the flu. It was so much easier last year when I was just competing against myself.

• BYU - This is BYU's Super Bowl! Or something like that...
• Mississippi State - Maybe Florida just can't blow out teams like last year?
• Texas - 2 straight losses by Missouri doesn't bode well with me
• USC - I don't think USC will have a let down at home. I think they're saving it for Autzen
• Utah State - Based on weather alone
• Idaho - Something crazy is going on this year and I'm not afraid to ride its coattails 
• Fresno State - They seem to play well when nobody cares about them
• Boise State - Trips to Hawaii scare me, but they scare me less when facing seventh-string QB's.
