I was holding off on this. It takes forever. And I always sorta trail off in detail/quality toward the end (like 99% of my posts). BUT, I like the audacity of it. I like that I’m typically pretty good at the prediction portion, though ‘07 is a wild exception where [...]

Here are the week 7 results. Biscuit is in the lead. I’ve got a scoring average only slightly better than the Irish.

Didn’t even know we did an Expert Picks last week, did ya?
Anyway, at this point, looks like The Bear has paid the price for his reverse karma picks against ND, and The Biscuit has taken the lead.

Purdue week came to an end much like the end of a Russian Literature thesis defense, but with less inventive cheering or t-shirts. And The Bear’s panzer-like rush over the rest of the field just keeps chugging along. Help us, Bad Kermit. You’re our only hope.

Not a ton of time this week for blogging, so this will be quick. Expect the quality, however, to be on par with past efforts.
Big Game: Notre Dame/MSU
Other Big Game: Georgia/Alabama

Sorta swamped for time this week. So here’s a table of the scoring for last week’s games. No sorting based on winners. I don’t have time for such complexity.
Looks like Bad Kermit is in the lead, still, but The Bear has made a huge comeback after an awful start to the season [...]

I, um, “acquired” some images of every helmet in NCAA football, so I decided to go the extra-mile and make the HLS Expert Picks more visual for our illiterate readers out there…
The Games:
