Doc Fenton's 6th Annual SEC Rant 2013, Pick ATS: Week 1

Fine...Whatever...I'll do it, but I'm not happy about it.

First off, I am not Doc Fenton or TheMightyTerrier, nor do I claim to be. However, the tradition must continue so I will do so until Doc returns or until the season is over...preferably the first option.

Second, the rules will be the same as last year. 30 selections minimum throughout the season. Like batting titles for baseball, if you have less than 30 total picks, I will add losses to make up the difference. For example, if you go 15-5, I will count that as 15-15, or 50.00%. Please follow the same format of bolding your picks. It will help me log the results easier. I will post the thread each week on Tuesday or Wednesday and the lines will be locked in at that point. All posts must be done by kickoff of the first game. If there is a Thursday game, it's a Thursday deadline. If all games are on Saturday, obviously it's a Saturday deadline. Any edits to your post after the deadline will result in all of your picks being voided. First team listed is the favorite by whatever amount is shown. All caps designates who is home team. You do not have to pick all the games. You do not have to pick any. Pick as many as you feel comfortable with, but make sure you get 30 by the end of the season. In the event of a push, the pick will be voided obviously. Matchups against FCS opponents will not be included.

Here is a link to last year's results and winners.

Here are 2011's results and winners.

Apparently in 2011, Doc forgot to pay the accountants because it appears as if WG_Dawg won in a recount.

And here is 2008, 2009 & 2010's winners. Also, please note that 2009's winners, nftiger and CockNBlythewood are actually me and CNB. You can bow to our greatness at a later date.

Without further delay, let's get the ball rolling on the 2013 season.
