We are Boise State-less in our picks this week due to the wonky scheduling of the Louisiana Tech game next Tuesday. Next week it looks like we're going to miss them too for the Pick 'Em. Blame Gene Bleymaier, I guess.
The good news for all of this is that it looks like the majority of Boise State's remaining games will be on ESPN. There are rumors that ESPN may pick up the Hawaii game so that would leave the lone remaining game against Utah State as the only one not nationally televised. I'm still holding out hope that the USU game will also be picked up. So, hopefully no more WSN in the foreseeable future.
On to this week's picks. As we've done the last few weeks, please enter your picks on the following form. And again, please keep your username consistent for the overall standings.
OBNUG Week 8 Pick 'Em Pick Sheet
After the jump, we'll take a look at this week's games, last week's winners and, yes, overall standings! I know, control your excitement.
Week 7 Winner
We had yet another tie in the pick 'em. Users BSOM and ETTGUY both went 7-1 this week. They had the exact same picks, both missing their Arkansas pick. However, their tiebreakers were 2 points apart and ETTGUY pulled out the win. Congratulations, sir.
Week 8 Games
I'm hoping for some more upsets this week.
#3 Oklahoma at #18 Missouri (+3.5)
Pick: Missouri
Oklahoma has had some close calls already this season. I really have no clue how good Missouri is though.
#6 LSU at #5 Auburn (-5.5)
Pick: Auburn
I just don't see how much longer LSU's luck will last.
Air Force at #4 TCU (-18.5)
Pick: Air Force
Air Force took a surprise loss last week, but I think they will be a tough game for TCU. Nineteen points is a lot.
#10 Wisconsin at #13 Iowa (-5.5)
Pick: Wisconsin
I love how people are back on the Iowa bandwagon now and forgetting about the Arizona loss.
#14 Nebraska at #17 Oklahoma St. (+5.5)
Pick: Nebraska
I think Nebraska will bounce back.
Duke at #23 Virginia Tech (-26.5)
Pick: Virginia Tech
Good to see Virginia Tech getting some respect back after the JMU loss.
New Mexico St. at Idaho (-23.5)
Pick: New Mexico St.
Let's see, Idaho lost to La Tech and now they're giving 23.5 points? Something doesn't add up. Even if they're playing New Mexico St.
Hawaii at Utah St. (+3.5)
Pick: Hawaii
I had a feeling about Hawaii going into the Nevada game. They're not too bad, but how did they lose to Colorado?
Fresno St. at San Jose St. (+19.5)
Pick: Fresno St.
If Fresno can't win by 20 against a seriously depleted San Jose State team, then they are worse than I thought.
Overall Standings
