MYRTLE BEACH: (32) Georgia Southern / Ohio
Walt, masculinely gnawing on a $4 cigar, "let's go georgia southern! I'm a big idiot!"
NEW ORLEANS: (8) UL-Lafayette / Jacksonville St.
If you asked 100 non-Alabamians where is "Jacksonville State University" I bet a bunch of them would spit in your face. It's in Alabama, they'd say through clenched teeth. Whar tha hell else would it be, they'd yammer. I'm not even from thar and *spits* ah reckon you ain't never killed a boar have ye?
CURE: (36) Appalachian St. / Miami (OH)
There's guys with signs and then there's THAT GUY with THAT SIGN.
NEW MEXICO: (24) New Mexico St. / Fresno St.
ahkhh
LA: (7) Boise St. / UCLA
It was called Boyse St. until Avril Lavigne dropped her hit song "Skater Boi." Then THE DARKENING happened and we all know where it went from there!
INDEPENDENCE: (9) Texas Tech / Cal of fornia
pew pew *blows smoke from fake pistol, several toddlers lie in pools of real blood*
FAMOUS TOASTERY WHAT THE HELL: (13) WKU / ODU
A mad lib where it's three questions and they're all "what is a letter" and at the end, boom, you have a university... *record scratch* that last one's gotta be "u" sis!
FRISCO: (38) UTSA / Marshall
UTSA would be a big favorite over the other members of the paw patrol too.
BOCA RATON: (14) USF / Syracuse
USF would be a big favorite over the other city-states of ancient Sicily too.
GASPARILLA: (10) UCF / Georgia Tech
Gusparilla
BIRMINGHAM: (22) Troy / Duke
I thought they decided Troy vs Duke... *tries to figure out which duke was involved in the Iliad*
CAMELLIA QUEEN OF THE BOWLS: (26) Arkansas St. / Northern Illinois
speaking of huskies *rocks back and forth, whistling, like 1923 mickey mouse*
ARMED FORCES: (27) Jim Madison / Air Force

*sunken eyes, a hollow and gaunt face*
MOBILE: (39) South Alabama / EMU
Joey Jones left BSC to coach South Alabama and I blame him for "The Muckup on The Hilltop"
LAS VEGAS: (37) Utah / Northwestern
Roll the dice and spin the wheel! These two teams came to PLAY!
HAWAII: (33) San Jose St. / Coastal Carolina
Sir, we're running out of carolinas to name bad football teams after, the secretary of states said to the president.
QUICK LANE: (23) Minnesota / Bowling Green
They should be called Bowling Orange/Brown. Thank you
FIRST RESPONDER: (15) Texas St. / Rice
First Responder? I hardly know her!
GUARANTEED RATE: (35) Kansas / UNLV
The only guaranteed rate here is the rate I will be enjoying this game which is 4.
MILITARY: (4) Tulane / Virginia Tech
Tulane undergoing massive upgrades on campus. Pretty soon they're going to be Fourlane! Thank you
DUKE'S MAYO: (3) North Carolina / West Virginia
West Virginia should make a legitimate push for Virginia to call itself East Virginia.

If this is a holiday, I'd rather be at work! Yeesh.
TEXAS: (18) Oklahoma St. / TAMU
Everything's stupider in Texas.

SUN: (25) Notre Dame / Oregon St.
Beavers, haha. That's rich.
LIBERTY: (16) Iowa St. / Memphis
Libearty. The bear.
COTTON: (21) Ohio St. / Mizzou
His name should be Eli Coachwitz. Unless he's a drinker. Then his name is fine. I don't care.
PEACH: (31) Penn St. / Old Mist
The guardians of The Old Ways (pedophilia and institutional racism).
MUSIC CITY: (1) Auburn / Maryland
There was reportedly an extended cut of the hell-orgy scene in Event Horizon but the footage was lost. No reason I'm talking about that here.

Holy Toledo!
RELIAQUEST: (17) LSU / Wisconsin

CITRUS: (6) Iowa / Tennessee
I know it's supposed to be citrus, but this one seems like a lemon! In that my children will want to taste it and make performative faces about how "spicy" it is.
FIESTA: (40) Oregon / Liberty
This is for all the Tostitos! For Oregon that means Subarus and weird craft beers. For Liberty that means January 6th.

Old Mist at Mississippi State +11: It was close last year, right?
Missouri -7.5 at Arkansas: ok
Kentucky at Louisville -7: Kentucky seems to be falling apart.
Texas A&M +11 at LSU : Video game number guy looks to have video game numbers.
Alabama at Auburn +14.5: The amount of coping excuse making from Auburn fans about the New Mexico State loss specifically and in general Hugh Freeze, who has had a first season characterized by everything that those opposed to his hire expected, has been embarrassing as a fan base.
Vanderbilt at Tennessee -26.5: ok
Florida State -6.5 at Florida: A drunk Florida State fan on Tuesday night told me that the back-up for Florida State is just as good as the starter was, and he then explained to me how the concept of substitutions in football works.
Clemson -7 at South Carolina: Dabo is mad about last year.

Vanderbilt +12.5 Recalling how in 2008 gameday went to nashville for the auburn/vandy game. Auburn lost and - in a fit of rage and stupidity - I dumped my trash can into my washing machine. They say history repeats itself. I mean, idiots say that (per Varkham Markham) but I'm the guy who dumped his trash into his own washing machine so I definitely say that.

South Carolina vs Texas A&M -14: Man do I hope South Carolina (the worst team in the SEC now?) wins this. It's not going to happen, but it would give TAMU some serious anxiety.
Georgia vs Florida +14.5: I'm glad that guy got hurt
Mississippi State +6.5 vs Auburn: 6.5, that reads more like the o/u for this one. Imagine trusting this Auburn team to do literally anything for you. This is going to be bad football, and I feel bad that I'm going to watch the entire thing.

I'm now inspired to call my picks "the pearl of the Gulf." These picks are "the pearl of the Gulf."
Georgia vs. Vanderbilt +31.5: Seems like a lot
Arkansas vs Alabama -19.5: Recently learned that the Pit Man's buyout halves if he has a career record below .500. He is currently 21-21, with some tough sledding ahead. You'd think that would make me pick Arkansas, but no.
Florida +2.5 vs South Carolina: Is it more weird that Florida is an underdog to South Carolina, or more weird that it's not that surprising?
Texas A&M vs Tennessee -3.5: I originally wrote "that pudgy freak better not let me down this time," but I realize that doesn't really clarify which head coach I am talking about.
Auburn +11.5 vs LSU: I like Auburn coming off an off week, but not enough to pick them.
Missouri +115 vs Kentucky -140, -2.5 T:52.5: spooky

oh man if it ain't the dang old spooky season
I realized this morning that it would have been funny to include the Red River Shootout on the list of conference games.
LSU vs. Missouri +6.5: Feels like another barnburner
Western Michigan vs. Mississippi State -20.5: who cares
Alabama -2.5 vs. Texas A&M: Not buying it
Vanderbilt +18 vs. Florida: If Florida lost to Vanderbilt, would Louisiana Billy make it to the end of the season?
Kentucky +14.5 vs. Georgia: I think we're looking at a 20-10 kind of score here.
Arkansas vs. Old Mist -11.5: It's weird about Sam Pittman, because Arkansas fans seem to love him, but also they seem to think he's not a good coach and want him gone.
{v}{v}{v}
Betting time: guh! Working with {v}497.27. Time to go dumber.

we are finally into just conference games and I for one couldn't be happier
Florida vs Kentucky -2.5: Extremely difficult to get a read on this one, mostly because I am ignorant and not particularly concerned.
Texas A&M vs Arkansas +6.5: It's been a long time since one of these games that you could call an easy win for either team.
Georgia -14.5 vs Auburn: Absolutely baffling line, implying that TAMU and Georgia are about the same.
Missouri -13.5 vs Vanderbilt: the classic SEC match up we all know and love
LSU -2.5 vs Old Mist: This is the kind of line, like UGA above, that makes me think I've missed something this season.
South Carolina +12.5 vs Tennessee: Beamer Ball Baby
Alabama -14 vs Mississippi State: no

It's funny... Starfield rhymes with Garfield... Now some Week 2 Picks
Week 2 reminds me of a story. When the MC Hammer song "2 Legit 2 Quit" came out I thought the lyrics were "2 the jit, 2 the jit 2 quit," believing that "the jit" was a place where MC Hammer was going to go and quit. Now, during this height of popularity we were given a school assignment that was something like "design a pro-reading flyer." Never one to miss out on a fad, I decided to make my flyer "2 the jit, 2 the jit 2 READ" ah see now the jit is a place one goes to curl up with a good book. Great flyer, Tha Captain!
Now, some of my less-stupid classmates pointed out that those are not the lyrics. So, not wanting to seem any more of a fool that I already did, I changed it to "2 legit, 2 legit 2 read" which is absolutely not what you want on a pro-reading flyer. Ah well. Keep at it, Cap'n.
I have no comment on any of these games, apparently.

think how this is going to work when Texas, Oklahoma, Florida State, Clemson, Virginia Tech, and Liberty are also in the SEC
Vanderbilt at Wake Forest (-10): Vandy: not great
Ball State at Georgia (-42): Absolutely sickening
Texas A&M at Miami (+4.5): I'm excited about this one because whoever loses is going to feel very bad about themselves.
Old Mist at Tulane (+7.5): I think Lane is taking them seriously, but Tulane is a good football team.
Kent State at Arkansas (-37.5): ok
Texas at Alabama (-7): The funniest outcome would be for Texas to win this game and the rest of September to start 5-0 and get to #3 in the country, then get blasted by Oklahoma and end up losing five of their last seven games.
Middle Tennessee State at Missouri (-20.5): Missouri seems roughly thirty points worse than Alabama, this makes sense.
Arizona at Mississippi State (-10.5): Mississippi State is constantly playing games that make me say, "Oh, huh. Ok."
Auburn at Cal (+6.5): Verrrrrrry concerned about this one, kids. Feels like a 41-38 kind of game, and not the good way.

Stranger Things. Let's start that this week. Week 1 is officially Stranger Things Week. Also every other week will be that. It's just how we do things 'round here.
oh this got out of hand
Florida +6.5 The native american johnny depp looking ass quarterback guy from utah is not playing. The line is like 4.5 now but both of those are more-than-a-field-goal-less-than-a-td. My point is that I'm very hungry.
Kentucky -25.5 Ball State is just a nickname. Their official name is Testicle State. Folks,
Virginia +27.5 Bronco "Bronck" Mendenhall is turning things around in Charlottesville. Okay, would everyone like to hear a largely pointless story? Don't care; story starting! So in fifth (5th) grade, the students at Thompson Elementary were treated to a trip to our nation's capital: Charlottesville, Va. Just kidding, I know the real capital is Richmond but we went to C-Vegas too. One of the big draws for that par-tick-ular hamlet is the birthplace of founding father (or as I call them the (democracy designing daddies (aka tha triple Ds)) Thomas Haley Jefferson: Monticello (pronounced in an offensively exaggerated Italian accent a-la Inglorious Basterds). Anyways, it's just a big stupid house where a bunch of slaves died but the real treat is that you can see a hill to the southwest. At the top of the hill stands some kind of building. See map below. Apparently the thing at the top of the hill (I know it's a 2D picture but the switchback road clearly suggests some sort of elevation change) is called "Montalto." Now, dear readers, as a naive and impressionable fifth (5th) grader I was told that "graduate students from UVA" lived there. Preposterous, I thought, as I watched a car traverse the winding path to the top. It seemed crazy at the time and it's something that haunts me to this day. The internet tells me that there is a wedding venue up there now and, hell, there may have been in 1993. I imagine the tour guide at Monticello mostly gets questions about where the slaves died and how many slaves died and how did the slaves die rather than "who lives at the top of that distant hill." Anyways, I learned a lot about democracy and how tour guides assume graduate students like living on mountains like dragons and trolls.
Auburn -34.5 Year 3 of the Harsin era or the "Renn-Harsin-ce" (Like Renaissance) as I and most of the people I talk to call it, gets off to a flying start. Minutemen? Yeah one minute is about how long it will take the patented "Har-fense" (Auburn's offense) scores some "Bryans" (points).
New Mexico +38.5 Jimbo probably wants to come out and show everyone how good his "24 points or bust" offense is.
South Carolina +2.5 Ol Head Ball Coach click clack
Alabama -40 Bryce Young is the best QB in cfb. Change my mind.
Florida St. +2.5 *badly mangles the seminole war chant* hiya humma hiya humma heap big football game
{v}
{v}500.00 on Alabama -50000 to win {v}1.00
The last real week one
Next year, the superconference era truly begins. And it's going to suck!
---
Florida (+6.5) at Utah: Utah's quarterback is out. This will probably be wrong!
Ball State at Kentucky (-25.5): Don't know. Don't care!
Virginia at Tennessee (-27.5): I guess? Seems like Virginia should be a lot better at football than they are.
UMass at Auburn (-34.5): lmao
New Mexico at TAMU (-38.5): picking a lot of favorites
North Carolina at South Carolina (+2.5): BBB--Beamer ball, baby
Middle Tennessee State at Alabama (-40): I am tired of doing the pick them now
LSU (-2.5,) vs. Florida State: This is a fun one

week 0 picks
The season is about to begin (meaning the season for harvesting cotton in the cotton field where I now work). I'm excited to begin the picking process (meaning picking cotton in the cotton field where I now work). I am also really looking forward to bowl season (meaning boll season, when it's time to harvest the cotton in the cotton field where I now work).
Unrelated, a football pick:
- Hawai'i at Vanderbilt (-17.5) (T:55.5): Hawaii is a dreadful football team even if I do like Timmy Chang coming back
*creed voice* i've created i've created i've created i've created i've created my own prisuuhn
*stranger things voice* i've created i've created i've created i've created i've created my own prisuuhn
no
ah well what with the wildfires and all you really can only see this going one way. i will figure out what way that is in a little bit.
Vanderbilt -17.5
my analysis of this is that each player on each team deserves a new car. but all the same car. a fleet of shitty corrolas to herald the arrival of the commodores and rainbow warriors.
*creed voice* stranger things
this was AI. this is where we're going.
