Official Allbuffs 2018 Pick Em Challenge - Week 1

Happy Football Season!

Rules:
10 games (I choose them, with a focus on competitive matchups on tv & lean toward Pac-12 games. I also try to fill the day up as much as possible on Saturday with game times.)

1. Pick a winner of each game
2. Assign a value to each pick (using 1 thru 10 once each)
3. Each correct pick gets you the points assigned to the game
4. Winner is whomever has the highest point total
5. Everyone who played gives the winner a Like because it would be a dick move not to do so

Tiebreaker is CU's point total if the Buffs are playing. If CU isn't playing, I'll think of something else.

Nitpicky rules stuff:
If I've got Thursday, Friday or Saturday morning games included and you miss the cutoff, you can still play.
First missed game is automatically your 1-pt game. Second is your 2-pt game. Etc.
If a game has kicked off before you get your picks in, that counts as missing the game.

Note: As always, help (i.e., others doing the math) to tell me who won is always appreciated.

Are you not doing a "warm up round" for this weekend's games?
There are only 4 games this week. Duquesne v UMass; Prairie View v Rice; Hawaii v CSU; and, Wyoming v NM State. Better games will be the high school ones:

ESPN will televise seven games on August 24, 25 and 26 as part of this year’s GEICO ESPN High School Football Kickoff. The line-up will feature multiple teams that are expected to begin the season in the High School Football America Preseason 100 that will announced on July 1.
As of right now, the seven-game slate features eight teams — No. 1 Mater Dei (California), No. 4 Trinity (Kentucky), No. 9 Bishop Gorman (Nevada), No. 27 Pickerington Central (Ohio), No. 35 St. Thomas Aquinas (Florida), No. 42 Hoover (Alabama), No. 70 Phillips Academy (Illinois) and No. 75 Grayson (Georgia) — that ended 2017 in the HSFA 100.

:ROFLMAO:
Although truth be told, I am super pumped to watch the UH game (mom went there).

Also, every time I see Hoover High, I wish I could find old episodes of Two-Days.

Check out Last Chance U on Netflix, similar without a censor and some pretty cool back stories. Plus I love their Academic Advisor...if I wasn't married and could stand the south I'd be moving my ass to Scooba real quick.

That Northwestern-Purdue game should be a good one. Both are potential Top 20 teams.

also, I'm a dumbass. I bought super-cheap tix to see Yes on Groupon, and then got the wife excited for the show, which I just realized takes place the night on the VT/FSU game. Grateful for DVR -- it's going to be a long fun Memorial Day evening.
