Are Philip Wheeler and Georgia Tech really good enough to get by Notre Dame in South Bend? Can Tennessee pull off the upset against Cal? The CFNers give their picks for every week one game.
|
Here are the
picks from the CFN writers along with Clucko the Chicken.
Put down two feed dishes, one representing one team and
one representing another and whichever dish the chicken
goes to first is the team that's going to win. You'll do just as well. (Really, the pick is a
coin flip. Don't laugh; Clucko won the 2000 Bowl Pool
among 24 entrants.) You can get to the Expert Picks
in the above dropdown under Predictions.
This year's we're also adding the picks from
WhatIfSports.com. WIS runs a
computer simulation of every game 100 times and then comes up with its winner.
Fiu is Pete Fiutak, Rich is Richard Cirminiello, John is John Harris, and Zemek
is Matthew Zemek
* means team will win, but won't cover
