It's a go! Pickems for Week 1!

Gophers.
tOhsu.
Nebraska.
Georgia.

Not very original. I thought about nd or Oregon upset, but couldn't pull trigger
 


To OP's question -- why UNL vs ND ? ESPN's FPI has them winning this game 98% of the time. Would a more competitive game, save for Clemson @ GA Tech, like the poster mentioned be of more interest for us to pick against?

At least on Gopher Hole, Nebraska has quietly become Minnesota's biggest rival. I think it's because it's easy to dunk on them these days, but I hear a lot more chatter about what's going on in Lincoln than Madison or Iowa City.

Put me down for chalk from this list:

Minnesota
Ohio State (ND will come very close)
Nebraska
Georgia
 

Gophers
Buckeyes
Cornhuskers
Bulldogs

The season is upon us! Thanks for doing this again.

I think the chatter isn't because they're our biggest rival, but because they are an elitist program that we're able to dunk on and feel superior to

Gophers are going to "Kill" New Mexico State (not funny, but tried)
Ohio State might be better, but just a hunch this goes to the other Golden team (Golden Domers).
Sorry, had to pick the Hoodies over the Fighting Suehawks
More Georgia natives on the Gophers than Oregon natives (at least I think so), so that reason enough for me. Sort of like my wife picking by uniform colors.............

Good 1st week slate. Let everyone start out pretty good (less a big upset) and raise the interest level. A bit harder each week, maybe?
