college football

I am so excited about today at 7pm and I hope everyone out there is too. South Carolina(the other carolina) and NC State play on espn. Robert and I are just going to sit and eat a pizza and enjoy the beginnings of a beautiful fall. There are so many great games this weekend, a first for the first weekend in football. Even on Thursday there are a couple of good games. One is the south carolina game, but there is also Oregon and Boise State. You are probably thinking why do I care about Oregon and Boise State since they don't affect my fav teams? They will once the BCS rolls around. Boise State is one of those spoilers and if they remain undefeated(and most likely they will if they win this game), they will probably be in the BCS game...especially with what happened last year.
Then we have Saturday. One of Robert and my favorite days of the year(well every Saturday in the fall). We just sit in front of the tv all day, eat really bad food, and enjoy all the football. You may be thinking to yourself, how sad is that, but we love it and we will cherish these days for the rest of our lives.
One of my favorite parts of college football weeks is making my weekly picks with my dad. Every Thursday we take the list of college football games, pick the most competitive ones, and pick who we think will win. We add up who gets the most right at the end of the year and whoever loses buys the other dinner. What a great way for my dad and I to get a fun date! We have been doing this since I was in high school and I love it. Here is a preview of my picks for the week...how well do you think I did?

South Carolina vs NC State- NC State
Oregon vs Boise State- Oregon
App St vs East Carolina- App State
UGA vs Okla St- Go UGA!
Baylor vs Wake Forest- Baylor
Citadel vs UNC- Go Heels!
Charleston Southern vs UF- Go Gators!
BYU vs Oklahoma- Oklahoma
Richmond vs Duke- Richmond!
Alabama vs Virginia Tech- Bama
Maryland vs Cal- Cal
LSU vs Washington- LSU
Miami vs FSU- FSU

Hi, Cat! TCU and BYU are in the Mountain West. If Virginia can't beat William & Mary, they should not beat TCU.
