Formatting question


Do you like this set up better? Before I was going with TSN's set up and it went by kick off time, but this way the games are in order of rank. Is that better or worse? I know it will make it easier for me to to dot he totally at the end of the week.

I have also had Chris sticky this thread. We will use the same thread every week from know on, but I will make a clear break from week to week.

None of you girls played the game, so you don't what your talkin bout. Trust me.

None of you girls played the game, so you don't what your talkin bout. Trust me.

So are you going to put your picks in again this week and enlighten us all with the insight of a former player?

Or are you too scared to be shown up by a bunch of nobodies that never played the game?

Surely there will be an upset this week, but nearly all the favored teams also have home field advantage. If there is to be an upset, my candidate is UNH at UMass, but I am not predicting it.

(Note that Weber hosts Sac State)

I noticed that too. The higher rated teams seem to be at home this week, and they all have pretty good home field advantages. There are a couple possible upsets but i really don't see more than 3

It's hard for me to tell which one is bolded. Do you guys have the same problem or is it just me?

D are you picking the Furman/Samford game?

I can tell, but at times if I'm glancing it is difficult. I like the way you and D did it. Makes it real clear
