Have no fear . . . Underdog is here.

It's time once again for gridiron action under the guise of student athletics and that means that 104.5 The Zone's Stupid Underdog contest is back as well. Speaking of underdogs, perennial losers Vanderbilt won its first season opener in eight years last night against Wake Forest. They might achieve the ever elusive 3-win season this year.

So here are my opening picks:

GEORGIA 7 Boise State (UGA has a lot to prove this year and BSU is certainly capable of pulling the upset)
MARYLAND 9 Navy (I picked this instate rivalry because I'm still sore over UM's thrashing of UT in the Peach Bowl a couple years back)
FLORIDA 22 Wyoming (I may be the only one who thinks the hype over Urban Meyer's transfer to UF is way over hyped. Wyoming is a team on the rise and they are very familiar with Meyer's coaching. Go Buffalos!)

Think you can do better? Sign up, get your picks in today and play along.

2 out of 3 ain't bad, but my 6.0 points isn't going to scare anyone.
