No Ark vs LSU for Battle for the Golden Boot trophy? I believe the heaviest trophy in college football.
I know, you are trying to make this a challenge. Sad that Ark has only been in one week of picks. Yes, that is how bad they are. Hard to be a fan right now.

I'm good with us putting in that game and taking out Michigan St Ohio State Doss.

Re: 2018, Week Eleven Picks --- Saturday, November 10
Just add it.
So I have to wait to see how Spence votes because I have to vote differently from him because that is the only way I can overtake him. This would be a great upset victory and give us all a chance to beat up on Spence.
And so what if the prize money gets diluted... Let's see. No pie divided 21 ways is still no pie. So Spence just gets a larger piece of no pie. (Whatever happened to the money you got for having diarrhea of the keyboard?)

Actually, when I was looking for games to put in this week's lineup, the Arkansas/LSU game was one I had considered. I just figured we'd all make the same selection, except for likely Doss out of loyalty.
I usually try to put as many of the rivalry games in the Pick`Ems that I can. Though, this season there have been so many where one team is simply that much better than the other, that I didn't feel it would serve any purpose than to give everyone a freebie, and to take away from a potentially closer knit choice.
On the other hand, there have been a bunch of lopsided victories in the Picks that looked as if they were going to be more competitive when I chose them.
So, If everyone wants, I'll add the Golden Boot game.

You can take off Ohio State Michigan State to make up for it.

If I wind up replacing one, it would probably be the Troy @ Georgia Southern game.

Doesn’t matter to me. Whatever you put-up I’ll manage to pick the wrong one..... take the Liberty vs UMass game last week. Liberty was all over them and then what happened??? Umass makes a comeback late to tie it up and after THREE OVERTIMES kicked a field goal to win it.

12. Houston (If Tom Herman doesn’t win in Austin, he’ll be back)
13. Duke (finally, Duke has a Coach who’s name you can spell)
14. Miami (I just love watching the GT offense..... ahhhh, the good ole days, but I also just love watching that speedy Miami defense...... ugh, those ole days weren’t so good for the Mountaineers)

Re: 2018, Week Eleven Picks --- Saturday, November 10
I have now altered my picks based on our Leader's, Spence, picks. The only way to catch up is to do something different and hope I am right and he is wrong. I am okay with plummeting, have many years of experience in doing that.
