1) OSU at #2 Michigan - Michigan with the 'upset'
3) Florida vs. Western Carolina - Gators
4) Southern cal vs. #17 Cal - Cal to upset the condoms, who have barely been hanging on.
5) Arkansas vs. Mississippi State - 'backs
6) ND vs. Army - ND
7) Rutgers vs. Cincinatti - Scarlet Knights (I hope they take it all the way)
8) WV vs. Pitt - west virginia
9) LSU vs. Ole miss - LSU
10) Louisville vs. South Florida - Though Louisville is now a one-loss team (which made me pretty happy) they should kill south florida, I think...
11) Texas vs. Texas A&M - Texas lost to a not-so-great Kansas State team, and I like nothing more than seeing the Cows lose, but I'll have to wait til next week.
12) Wisconsin vs. Buffalo - I still don't know shit about wisconsin (nor do I care), but they're obviously gonna beat buffalo.
13) Boise State vs. Utah State - same situation as above, same winner (ranked team).
14) Wake Forest vs. #19 VT - Playing at wake, even with a stadium of only 30,000-something, is hard. Wake is a good team, they just raped FSU last week if I remember correctly, and I think they'll hold off VT.
15) Auburn vs. 'Bama - nothing like rivalry, and I know the toothless alabama fans won't be happy if Auburn wins, but I could care less, I think they'll win.
16) Oklahoma vs. Baylor - Wow, the bears look pretty tough. Not. Sooners.
18) GT vs. Duke - Oh yeah, one of the worst football teams ever, upsetting the yellowjackets? Sorry, not gonna happen.
20) BC vs. #21 Maryland - Hard shootout, but I think BC may have the advantage, being at home.
22) Tennessee vs. Vandy - USC beat vandy, therefore anyone - even UNLV - could. Vols.
23) BYU vs. New Mexico - BYU
24) Nebraska vs. Colorado - Colorado still blows, and they're gonna lose, next week.
25) Clemson vs. USC - the game I'm currently camping out for tickets for. Not quite time to pick the winner, but there's one winner that if I picked, I'd deserve to be shot for, obviously. This is pretty much the most important game of the year for me. Today's "Big Thursday", the 104th anniversary of the game played since 1895, which used to be played the Thursday of the State Fair in Columbia until the late 50's. However, the game's at 12:00 noon next saturday. If there's a disappointing turnout, I'm recruiting everyone I know who has ever cheered for Clemson to help us to a win.

dude, wakes stadium is the quietest place ive ever been. during the clemson game, it was the loudest ive ever heard ever and it was quiet. on the few occasions ive been in the stands (as opposed to the hill), you cant stand up and yell w/o getting told to sit down by an old lady alum. the students are docile and quiet.

this says it all:
they play fake crowd noise between plays over the removable speakers between plays.

1) OSU at #2 Michigan - Michigan
3) Florida vs. Western Carolina - Florida

8) WV vs. Pitt - WV. and i bet there is a really good punt return TD by Pitt
9) LSU vs. Ole miss - LSU
10) Louisville vs. South Florida - Louisville
11) Texas vs. Texas A&M - Texas
12) Wisconsin vs. Buffalo - Wisconsin
13) Boise State vs. Utah State - BSU
14) Wake Forest vs. #19 VT - VT, these fans need to shut the fuck up
15) Auburn vs. 'Bama - Auburn
16) Oklahoma vs. Baylor - OU
18) GT vs. Duke - GT
20) BC vs. #21 BC
22) Tennessee vs. Vandy - Tennessee

Well I haven't actually been to wake, so I wouldn't know, but I don't know how loud Death Valley is compared to other places, since that's all I'm used to.

ive heard from my football coaches that death valley is the loudest ACC stadium (followed by VT). wake would sound like a high school volleyball game to you.

Ah, well maybe it was the blackout or the rainy weather that made us suck. Or the only quarterback that could overthrow Saddam Hussein, Proctor of course.

wake was the loudest ive ever heard it tonight, but then again, it as nearly 1/2 hokie fans anyway (entire half of the stadium) and wake played fucking enter sandman as their intro, which was probably the dumbest thing they could have done
