College Football Picks, Week 8

I typically leave the weekly standings for the bottom of the post, but we are in a dire situation here. After weeks of being solidly above .500, the CFAJ crew is teetering on the edge of sub-.500 football. A week ago, two pickers had a winning record, two had a losing record, and everyone else was 50/50. That makes a nice bell curve, but it wreaks havoc on the group’s overall season record. Lockpick Jr. leads the pack, with Cox Bigly and Frosty Yonkers right behind. The rest of the group is struggling, and the Crew as a whole stands a scant six games over .500—a week on the brink as it were.
