Picks Contest Week 2


Ahhhh, UCF week. Nothing like it. The color, the pageantry. The media conference phone sex lines. And there will be nothing like it again when the series goes kaput after Saturday.

On to the week two picks, where defending champion Ben Forlaw conveniently “forgot” about last week’s picks contest and finds himself 10 points behind Julio Hernandez, who not only predicted last weeks’ 56-7 score, but also that USF would be No. 17 in the AP Poll. Now that the AP rankings were out from Week 1, the scores have been updated (scroll down to the Week 1 Picks Results post).

The fine print: Each week, pick the winner of USF’s game and other assorted predictions about USF and/or the Big East. There will be five questions weekly – each worth one point – and a three-point bonus for correctly predicting USF’s weekly ranking and a five-point bonus for correctly predicting the exact final score. So for those who participate each week, you increase your chances of winning.

To enter you must respond to the “comments” link below and answer the five questions. First and last names, hometown and a valid E-mail address are required. Your E-mail address will NOT be published and only will be used to contact the winners. The deadline for entries is usually an hour before USF’s kickoff (check below). Remember when posting your comment/picks sometimes it won’t post immediately, so be patient. Only one entry per person per week is allowed. Each week - hopefully by Monday - I will post the updated season standings. The final week of the contest is USF’s final regular season game Dec. 6. If you see a mistake in your season points total, E-mail me with the correction. The ruling of the judge - that would be me - is final.

This week’s deadline: 6 p.m., Saturday.

1- Will USF defeat UCF by more than 14 1/2 points?
2- Who will have the most yards rushing? Mike Ford, Grant Gregory, Matt Grothe, Richard Kelly, Moise Plancher, Jamar Taylor, Ben Williams
3- Who will have the most yards receiving? Dontavia Bogan, Marcus Edwards, Jessie Hester, Taurus Johnson, A.J. Love, Carlton Mitchell, Patrick Richardson, Jeffrey Wilson
4- Will Matt Grothe have more than 274 1/2 yards total offense (rushing and passing yards combined)?
5- Will West Virginia win by more than 8 1/2 points at East Carolina?
Bonus #1: What will No. 17 USF be ranked in next week’s AP Poll? Since I vote in the AP Poll, I will not make this prediction each week. (worth three points)
Bonus#2: Pick USF-UCF winner and exact score (worth five points).
