F you too pal.

Seriously though. I have to admit. I am most worried than most about the ability of Indiana in this game.

They have a HC that has played tons od these types of games and knows how to prepare his roster. And we have a HC that couldn't get his guys ready for a home opener.

Honestly @Irishblooded I like Cignetti a lot. To me this was the closest game to pick. I went with the Irish, but could easily have went with Indiana.

@RuffledFeathers has me worried by being the only one to pick SMU. A rule of thumb is that when 9 out of 10 educated guessers all go one way, you better pay attention to the tenth person.

Losing the 2nd string QB to the portal almost made me dump PSU, since they do have packages that he runs in every game.

I’m hoping Franklin stays out of his own way, which hasn’t always been easy for him.

 

[RuffledFeathers]

Note that I picked SMU before that QB hit the portal.

No great mystery in the selection. SMU did everything but beat Clemson in the ACC Championship game. We beat Clemson the week before, in Clemson. I KNOW we are a playoff caliber team, so I know SMU and Clemson are now playoff worthy, despite Clemson getting thrashed by the Dawgs in the first game of the season. The Dawgs and Horns have shown they are solid, twice.

So I can't pick against the Horns in Austin, BUT, I considered doing so. Clemson might pull the upset. I now know they are capable.

The BG10 power teams are more susceptible in big games to upsets than SEC teams (THE and MICH game for example). I'm not feeling it in my gut towards the Horns, but I AM feeling it towards PSU. (Sorry Psute).
