Big South Pick Em

[bjtheflamesfan]

I figured Id try my hand at putting together a Pick Em discussion this year for the Big South fans. Rules are simple. Pick the winner of all games involving Big South teams. to give us a nice round number I will include up to 7 non-Big South games for a maximum of 10 games a week (that's 10 picks...simple math there).

Lock time for all picks is Kickoff of the first game on Saturday (if the game is prior to Saturday, lock time is kickoff of that game and will be noted each week). If you get all 10 games correct, you get 5 bonus points. Here are the games for Week 1 (All times Eastern):

Big South Week 1
Charleston Southern @ UCF 7 PM
Coastal Carolina vs Furman 6 PM
Gardner-Webb vs Brevard 6 PM
Liberty @ NC State 6 PM
Presbyterian vs. Wofford 1:30 PM
Stony Brook @ UTEP 9 PM
VMI vs Delaware State 1:30 PM

Non-Big South games
Applachian State (AGS.com #4) @ Virginia Tech 12:30 PM
Cal Poly (AGS.com #20) @ San Diego State 10 PM
Southern Illinois (CS.com #23) @ Southeast Missouri State (CS.com #22 7 PM

Can we do a running point talley system to see who of our conference's fans is the best at picking these? I've done one before and they're a lot of fun.

Big South Week 1 - Stony Brook fan
Charleston Southern @ UCF 7 PM
Coastal Carolina vs Furman 6 PM
Gardner-Webb vs Brevard 6 PM
Liberty @ NC State 6 PM
Presbyterian vs. Wofford 1:30 PM
Stony Brook @ UTEP 9 PM - Homer pick I know, but UTEP was ranked as one of the bottom 10 FBS programs this year, only slightly better than Buffalo. It'll be competitive at least.
VMI vs Delaware State 1:30 PM

Non-Big South games
Applachian State (AGS.com #4) @ Virginia Tech 12:30 PM
Cal Poly (AGS.com #20) @ San Diego State 10 PM
Southern Illinois (CS.com #23) @ Southeast Missouri State (CS.com #22 7 PM

[bjtheflamesfan]

I plan to do that redwyn. I'll have an excel spreadsheet with the weekly point totals and the overall total as well

Awesome!

If you could declare your Big South school with your entry that would be helpful for me when I put the standings together after week 1

Id rather not but I will if it comes to that

[bjtheflamesfan]

[bjtheflamesfan]

last chance guys...oh and could a mod lock this thread at 1230 PM please?

[bjtheflamesfan]

Just a note to Catatonic, GeauxLions94, jayhawkdaddy, AZGrizfan, Rattlerfan and The cats: I have switched you guys to the Big South fans section and assigned you to either VMI, CSU or Presbyterian at random so that there are at least 4 for every school. if we get enough before the season is over I'll switch you back out
