Updated Week 1 Picks Results


All Hail to Julio! Julio Hernandez was the only one of 103 entries to correctly pick that USF would defeat Tennessee Martin 56-7.

So since he’s from Orlando, you might want to pay attention to what he picks for Saturday’s USF-UCF game.

The correct answers from the Week 1 Picks Contest: USF covered the 41 1/2 point spread, Ben Williams was the leading rusher, Dontavia Bogan had the most receiving yards, George Selvie had less than 1 1/2 sacks and Kentucky thumped Louisville.

Below are the point totals after the first week of the picks contest. Two notes: First, if your name is not listed that means you didn’t get any correct answers. Second, the AP poll will not be released until Tuesday afternoon so I will go back and add three points to anyone who correctly predicted USF’s newest ranking.

I wanted to get these posted before Labor Day in case you happen to check out the blog on your day off. I’ll be off, but will be back Tuesday with the 5 questions for week two. If you see I’ve got you with an incorrect score, it’s nothing personal, I promise. E-mail me and I’ll double-check and correct it.

Thanks for everyone that participated. Only 13 weeks remaining so no one’s mathematically eliminated just yet.

And don’t get discouraged if you didn’t do well the first week. Steve Stacy, the 2006 champion on his self-proclaimed road to redemption, got only one correct answer and Ben Forlaw, last year’s champion, didn’t even enter. Perhaps, he’s spotting everyone a week or two, to make it more of a challenge for him this year.

Brandon, the point totals are updated. You did not get the bonus points. You picked USF to be No. 18 - the Bulls are No. 17. Better luck this week.

I can’t believe I forgot the picks contest first week!  Week 1 seemed to have some tricky questions, so I’m not too far in the hole to start next week.  It is so on.....

1 point.  Thats all I got was 1 stinkin point.

Man - I suck.

Brett,
USC is the best team in the country.  I watched about every single game on saturday, and I they just waxed a ACC dvision champ Virgnia team.

Joe McKnight is the best player, and USC is the best team.  They are going to destroy the Buckeyes in two weeks.

Thank you,
