They are calling it the biggest non-conference football game of the season and the biggest game in Boise State history. But the Wall Street Journal says this game represents more than that -- a Boise State victory would usher in an historic moment that could bring about a New World Order in college football. So, hey yo, I guess it's survey time. Are you tuning in to see more of the BCS? Or, does everybody here want to see the N-W-O?
Note that all times listed below are Central (suck it, Eastern), and that the home team is always listed last except in the case of a neutral site like the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game and Monday night showdown. Also note that all correct picks are worth two points -- there are no bonus-point games this week.
It's Week 1, so let's do this. For $800 and the Ramon Escobar Trophy, the gold standard of college football pools and subject of an upcoming column by the dean of Arkansas sportswriters, Harry King, and for the Shields-Yada Cup, Davis Cup, and all the other contests within the pool, and for the right to flaunt your 5-0 to the likes of pool heel Jeremy Peppas and the School of Noise, and for the love of all that is great in college football like Chief Osceola, Ralphie, Uga, Howard's Rock, the Play Like a Champion sign, the 12th Man, the $50 handshake at Alabama, the parade of tractors at Auburn, and, yes, even the ceremonial cleaning up after Bevo... it's time.
