Columbus East @ New Albany This has blowout and a running clock written all over it. Jeffersonville @ Floyd Central This has blowout and a running clock written all over it. Seymour @ BNL This has blowout and a running clock written all over it.

Bloomington South 45 Muncie Central 21 (final) It was a sloppy game by both teams, especially with the major penalties, but South had enough to put the Bearcats away.

Bloomington South 45 Muncie Central 21 (9:00, 4th)

Bloomington South 31 Muncie Central 14 (7:14, 3rd) The Panthers scored on their first possession of the 2nd half.

I went back and forth on this game on the pick'ems and obviously I went the wrong direction.

Bloomington South 24 Muncie Central 14 (half) The Panthers were their own worst enemy with a first half filled with major penalties and a pick 6. The Bearcats get the ball to start the 3rd.

Pick'em Selections. BNL @ New Albany BNL should handle the Bulldogs with ease, although I thought the Stars would beat Jeff with ease, which turned out to be a lot closer game than what I expected. After beating a Providence team in the season opener with Providence now at 0-3, the Bulldogs have been outscored 96-0 in their last two games. 'nough said. Floyd Central @ Seymour The Owls are atrocious right now and this game will probably be over with by halftime, with the possibility of a running clock to start the second half. Jennings County @ Columbus East This game has the potential for a blowout. JC is 2-1, but their two wins came against a couple of 2A teams that are currently a combined 1-5 on the season. Their lone loss was to Madison in which they never were in the game, suffering a 42-6 loss. Kokomo @ Jeffersonville Okay, in my mind this is the only competitive game on the schedule this week and it looks to be a difficult choice to make as to who will come out on top. Kokomo is 0-3 right now with two of their losses to a couple of 5A teams by a combined margin of 16 points. Their other loss wasn't a close game. Jeffersonville has shown some pulse on offense and managed to put up 35 points on BNL. Kokomo has to make the almost 170 mile trip to Jeffersonville which could impact their performance, ergo, I'm going with the home team in this one.

I get it over rules are rules, but that doesn't take into consideration of the technical issues/glitches that can happen, which prevented some inputs from getting in on time. I got my picks in, but for me personally, I'd hate to see your pick'em contest being, for the lack of a better way of putting it, slanted over a tech issue. Since everyone that got their picks in went with the same selections, I would rather see the week not being counted, which is my view of it. Maybe others see it differently.
