Coastalalum is still sitting pretty at the top but the next 10 are within one week's points of each other so these next couple weeks are going to be important...with that in mind Im adding another bonus this week...the Upset Special. Here is how it works: I will list 10 games (including the FBS Bonus Game of the Week). You pick ONE game that isnt listed in this week's picks as your Upset Special of the week. If you get it right you get 5 bonus points. If you get all 10 games right AND your upset special...your score for the week will be DOUBLED (So if you get all 10 plus the FBS Bonus game PLUS your upset special, you can get up to 40 points in a week)

Choose your game wisely...here are this week's pick's:

Big South Games:

Presbyterian vs. Liberty 3:30 PM
Coastal Carolina vs. Stony Brook 4:00 PM
Charleston Southern vs. Gardner-Webb 1:30 PM

I did tribefan...your score has been updated accordingly...also when picking your upset special, make sure it would be a legitimate upset (e.g. picking Oklahoma State over Baylor wouldnt be a legitimate upset, but picking USC over Stanford would be...or on the FCS level NOrthern Arizona over Sacramento State wouldnt really be an upset...but say...Villanova over Maine would be).

Keep those picks coming folks!

4-4 Delaware over 6-1 Towson at Towson would definitely be an upset, but let me know if you disagree.

It certainly would be an upset tribefan...I just dont want people to abuse the Upset Special by picking a favorite in a game just so they can get 5 bonus points

First of all Beej.....this upset thing is a serious stretch. What's an upset to one person may not really be an upset to someone else.

Upset - i'm going with Delaware over Towson

[bjtheflamesfan]

I know coastalaum, I figured Id try something thatd get people to look at games outside of the weekly 10. I figure that what may not be an upset to one may be an upset to another, but I figure I wouldnt want somebody to pick a game where one team is hopelessly overmatched and then take the favorite and claim that as a "upset".
