I fully expect to come in last by picking Stanford to win every game this year.  

Colgate was the high point of my prediction game.

I also always pick Stanford to win.  It's simple.  If I think Stanford will win, I pick with my head.  If I think Stanford will lose, I pick with my heart.  

Cheers,

I get the fan spirit here, but I completely separate what I WANT to happen from what I THINK will happen.  I would be thrilled to see us upset the Ducks on Saturday.  What a great way to kick off the month of October!  But...I frankly don't see that happening.  Hence my rather pessimistic projection of a 42-21 Duck victory.  I see nothing to warrant what I want to happen: this team has been pommeled by two ranked opponents this season and is already suffering from the injury bug.  Just don't see the upset.  

My approach has the added advantage that 1) I can be thrilled if I am wrong and 2) if I am right, at least my prediction score on the Cardboard remains respectable.  Unfortunately, I am 3-0 this season.  I would prefer to be 1-2 and the team 3-0, but that's not what has happened so far.
