Pick'em selections: It took me a millisecond to see how this week's matchups will go since it's the haves against the have nots. 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.

Bloomington South 21 Muncie Central 14 (3:17, 2nd) The Bearcats scored on a pick-6.

Bloomington South 21 Muncie Central 7 (00:13, 1st) The Panthers scored on a 60-yard drive, with the TD on a 26-yard pass play.

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.

I don't know what you are going to do about the pick 'em for this past week. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that everyone that got their picks in had the same teams winning since it was a week of overmatches. You may want to consider not counting that week since it was a wash and there were no variations in selections (unless I'm wrong about that.) Just a suggestion.

It's my understanding that the security of the site is the same as before, it's just that the certification had expired and that caused the security alerts. Boilerfan87 has it right, when this happens refresh the page and click "advanced" and then at the bottom you click the item that lets you proceed to the site after another security warning which is actually triggered by the expired expiration date.

East Central was a no-show against Elder and lost 42-7. Jeff gave BNL a tougher game than what I and others thought they would in the Stars 42-35 win. I don't know how that game flowed and whether BNL had to come from behind. The rest of the HHC games went as expected in blowout wins.

Bloomington North 46 Martinsville 20 (final) It was North's first ever win in the Mid-State Conference in their inaugural season in the conference.

Bloomington North 39 Martinsville 20 (0:15, 3rd) North scored on a 45-yard pick-6 to extend the lead.

Bloomington North 32 Martinsville 20 (7:33, 3rd) North scored on a 33-yard TD pass.

Bloomington North 25 Martinsville 20 (early 3rd)

Bloomington South 77 Terre Haute North 0 (final) Mercifully, this game came to a close. THN is certainly headed for a dreadful season.

Bloomington South 77 Terre Haute North 0 (6:18, 4th) The backups punched it in for a five-yard TD run.

Bloomington South 70 Terre Haute North 0 (1:50, 3rd) With the backups back in there, the Panthers scored on a 33-yard run.
