Alright, folks, let’s dive into the wild world of sports, especially college football! I mean, it’s been a whirlwind lately, right? You’ve got the NFL doing its thing and then college football coming in hot. It’s like a buffet of chaos where everyone’s trying to figure out which team is gonna come out on top!

So, here’s the scoop: I made a couple of entries for my picks. First, I go with the Tarheels. But guess what? For weeks 13, 14, and 15, The Tarheels were nowhere to be found on my list.

Then we had the Duke Blue Devils. Now, they were playing against Virginia in week 15, and I thought, “Hey, I’m gonna make a bold pick and go with Virginia.” I was dead wrong! Duke pulls off the win, 27-20. I mean, I can’t believe it! Sometimes it feels like I’m just throwing darts blindfolded trying to make these picks.

And I gotta be honest, some of these teams? I’m not familiar with them at all! I’m just guessing, and somehow, against all odds, I get a few right here and there.

Then I get an email saying my group, the Trojan Rams, came out as the winner! How crazy is that? This is where I would normally yell “Woo hoo!” but instead, I’m sitting here like, “How did I manage that?”

College football is a rollercoaster, and I’m just holding on for dear life! Keep those picks coming! You know you can always share your story in the comments. I’m Gail Nobles, & you’re listening to EPS.
