Edit: 1st Weekend of College Football Tough Calls

[slide_into_first]

The 2010 edition of Tough Calls will start with some great first weekend matchups:

Pick all 13:

You can change your pick until kickoff. (Several games are at large venues which was not posted at first.)

Pitt at Utah (Thursday, September 2)
Mizzou-Illinois (St Louis)
Colorado vs Colorado St (Denver)
Purdue at Notre Dame
UCLA at Kansas St
Kentucky at Louisville
Washington at BYU
Washington St at Oklahoma St
Northwestern at Vanderbilt
Oregon State at TCU (Arlington, Tx)
LSU vs North Carolina (Atlanta)
Cincinnati at Fresno St
Boise St at Virginia Tech (Monday) (Landover, Md)

It will not be necessary to pick point spreads, just straight winners.

It would be great if everyone could be on board from the first week so there won't be a need to have optional games later in the season.

Everyone is welcome to compete. Last year 20 people participated, I'd like to get more this year. You don't have to be an expert or even like college football to take part.

Thanks- I was planning to narrow it to ten games by next week, let's see what happens- in any case I'll note your picks for those games. For the record, a pick can be changed up to the kickoff time to allow for late injuries. Honor system in effect.

As a Purdue AND ND fan all I can say is...that game might be all sorts of suckitude.

Last second edit - I was thinking Utah was Utah St. for some reason, so I changed it.

Edit: I like Colorado over Colorado St. and Northwestern over Vanderbilt, not the other way around.

Edit 2: Boise St. over Va Tech, I think Boise can have another magical year.
