The Apsu From the River Euphrates (Hakuno, Gilgamesh, Enkidu)

“These roots here?” Her adopted mother had told her, “these will cause a man’s skin to develop large red welts and can only be helped with gentle care and time. You need to be quite careful when you pick roots. If you see the leaves, you know what it leaves.”

Hakuno stared at the guy raging to his friend, storming back and forth across the riverfront. His hands were rubbing at his face, increasing the problem. His friend was laughing, joking and looking around for the roots that the other had no doubt used to clean his face.

There was no one else around.

It seemed that, whoever these two worked for, their companions had abandoned them to suffer. The more the guy tried to fix his face, the more he worsened the red welts.

The friend applied more of the root paste.

The blond sunk to his knees, calming before the worse storm.

At the rate they were going, the two were going to end up probably killing one another before the end of the day. The best cure for that stuff was a weed that looked much like a poisonous weed. The cure would take time too, something that this guy clearly would not wait around for.

Which was why groups needed apsu.

“Enkidu! Find something!”

“Excuse me!” Hakuno raised her voice, looking between the two as she stepped forth from the brush. “Sir-“

The blond delved behind his friend.

You’d think he was a king with that kind of vanity.

“Can we help you?” Enkidu- the green haired one asked, their voice darkening.

“I- I heard shouting and saw your friend has… a problem.”

“We’re fine.”

Calm, threatening; the being’s voice said she was playing with fire, but Hakuno shook her head, pulling her bag from her shoulder.

“I said we’re fine, Miss.”

“Then you’re as naïve as you are stupid then.” Hakuno pulled out her vial of that treatment the blond needed, setting it a little ways in front of her. “Use this. Liberally. I would cover the face, the hair, and the neck with the stuff. Maybe the shoulders too if there was any contact from the dangerous root to the shoulders as well. Hands are cleaned off pretty fast so that shouldn’t be an issue.”

The two waited, watching her.

“I’ll just wait here.”

“How long does it take?”

“Two days.”

“You do know that if we use this, you will have to stay with us for that length of time, right?”

“OR- and this is just a thought- you could let me apply it.”

“And why would I do that?” the being asked.

Probably because her capability would far surpass even a palace apsu. She had a talent and a gift for healing. Her magic was weak and rather pathetic, but her mind for herbs and her meager abilities blended beautifully into a dominating strength.

It was something that this being would definitely not understand.

“Fine. I’ll come back in a day to bury him. Blond Man, do you prefer a few of the river or of the forest?”

“Get the damn woman and her bottle over here,” the man growled.

“We don’t know her, Gil. She could be from another kingdom.”

“I was born on the river.”

The two paused at her statement. The sounds of the birds and the cicadas sang in the background as Hakuno waited for the decision to be reached.

“Who are your parents?” Blond Man- Gil- asked.

“I don’t have any.”

The being narrowed their eyes. “All humans have parents.”

“Then consider me unlucky. Mine decided I was a waste. Tossed me out to the Euphrates.”

The two went quiet, but there was finally motion. She found herself pulled over to the blond, the vial’s contents spread along her arm and face before it was used on Gil. She could sense they both had something to say about her upbringing, but-

It was the same reaction that most had.

Family was everything in this world. No family meant no prospects.

She still had adopted parents- or rather, she had. She’d seen them to their end not long ago, listening to them both tell her to go to Uruk.

It was the most peaceful of all the lands, filled with more vitality and prosperity than anywhere else. The only qualm was finding a place.

“Done.” Hakuno smiled a bit, pulling her hands back. “Give the stuff a few minutes and we’ll both wash off in the river.”

“You look like me on a cold day, Gil,” Enkidu teased.

“Give him a break, the welts had to hurt. Besides, what kind of idiot plucks the roots of spotted leaved plants?”

“They’re good for you.”

“The non-spotted ones are.”

The being hesitated, earning a small wave from the golden-haired man now covered in clay and plant paste.

“Leave it, Enkidu,” the man chastised. “Anyway, maiden, where are you planning to go?”

“Uruk. I heard there are places for apsu.”

“You want to be an apsu?”

“No, but everyone has to have some kind of life’s work, don’t they?”

They sat along the shore for a while before going to wash off.

She’d come across an unfortunate blond sporting nasty welts and a mounting impatience, accompanied by an untrusting and possibly dangerous friend. When she washed the root paste from her own face though, she found herself coming up from the waters to the sight of a golden haired man far too handsome for his own good. The green haired man nearby beamed proudly, leaping into the waters without a stitch of clothing.

She felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist.

Gil’s laugh rang out in the air.

“An apsu from the river Euphrates. Enkidu, I think we should bring her back with us. The woman does commendable work.”

“I couldn’t agree more,” Enkidu replied, beaming. “Miss Apsu, I can already tell we’re going to be good friends.”

APSU scientists urge public to take upcoming COVID-19 vaccine

By Charles Sales space

Austin Peay State College

December 11, 2020 10:18 am

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – With the U.S. about to start the biggest vaccination program within the nation’s historical past, two Austin Peay State College scientists – a virologist and a bacteriologist – mentioned they don’t have any considerations about receiving one of many photographs.

“Personally, I plan to take a coronavirus vaccine when it turns into obtainable,” Jane Semler, bacteriologist and APSU professor of Allied Well being Sciences, mentioned. “Nonetheless, I feel all of us want to acknowledge that, though the information about vaccines is optimistic, it might be a number of months earlier than any vaccine is extensively obtainable.”

The FDA just lately accredited emergency use authorization of Pfizer and BioNTech’s coronavirus vaccine.

In a report obtained by a number of media retailers, The White Home Coronavirus Job Drive mentioned, “The present vaccine implementation is not going to considerably cut back viral unfold, hospitalizations, or fatalities till the 100 million Individuals with comorbidities could be absolutely immunized, which is able to take till the late spring.”

However with some Individuals frightened of any new vaccine, APSU’s virologist argues the chance to an individual’s well being is larger with out the vaccine.

“It’s extra doubtless you’ll get COVID than have an adversarial occasion from this vaccine,” Dr. Perry Scanlan, virologist and APSU professor of Allied Well being Sciences, mentioned.

Each professors are members of Austin Peay’s COVID-19 Command Job Drive. Semler beforehand served as a U.S. Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention (CDC) Fellow, and he or she is the creator of a number of tutorial articles on medical laboratory science. Scanlan’s analysis focuses on an infection management and infectious illness monitoring, and he at present serves as editor-in-chief of Scientific Laboratory Science, the flagship peer-reviewed journal of the American Society for Scientific Laboratory Science.

“One factor that I feel individuals fear about when taking a vaccine is that they’ll really contract the illness from the vaccine somewhat than being protected towards it,” Semler mentioned. “Within the case of the SARS-CoV2 vaccines (the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines), this is not going to be doable since just one a part of the viral RNA will probably be administered. It’s not doable for the virus to duplicate from solely the spike protein.”

Based on Pfizer, the vaccine has an efficacy charge of 95%. Whereas that is encouraging, Semler factors out that this implies the drug received’t shield everybody.

“There’s nonetheless an ideal want for individuals to stay vigilant in avoiding crowds, sporting masks, washing arms and staying at house when in poor health or in quarantine,” she mentioned. “I feel the largest ‘danger’ from any of the vaccines is that not everybody will probably be protected and, thus, it’ll nonetheless be vital to attenuate potential unfold of the virus.”

She cited a newly released study by the CDC, confirming that mask-wearing does cut back the unfold of COVID-19.

“Whereas we hope for a vaccine, all of us must do our half to attenuate the unfold of the virus as we speak,” she mentioned.

SIUE (14-31, 5-19 OVC), which had been held scoreless in the first two games of the series, broke through for its first runs against the Govs in the bottom of the first. Designated hitter Peyton Cordova-Smith delivered a two-out base hit to drive in two and give the Cougars a 2-1 lead.

The Cougars would break the game open in the middle stages, scoring four runs in both the fourth and sixth frames. A pair of bases-loaded walks and catcher Brock Weimer’s two-run single accounted for the fourth inning outburst and a 8-2 lead.

Austin Peay put together one last outburst, right fielder Kyle Wilson hitting a three-run home run in the seventh that took advantage of back-to-back walks. However, the Govs had just one runner in the final two innings and could not close the gap.

Govs starter Brandon Vial (2-3) suffered the loss after allowing six runs on five hits and three walks in 3.1 innings.

Wilson paced the Govs offense with a 2-for-4, three RBI effort. Kueber added a 2-for-4, one RBI outing as the Govs mustered just five hits on the day.

SIUE reliever Chris Robinson (3-1) picked up the win after allowing three runs on two hits and three walks over the final four innings.

Dallas, TX – Elevated blood pressure before becoming pregnant and early in pregnancy may increase the risk of pregnancy loss, even if the woman doesn’t have a hypertension diagnosis, according to new research in the American Heart Association’s journal Hypertension.

“Elevated blood pressure among young adults is associated with a higher risk of heart disease later in life, and this study suggests it may also have an effect on reproductive health,” said Carrie J.

APSU Baseball travels to Murfreesboro to take on Middle Tennessee

APSU Sports Information APSU Baseball

Clarksville, TN – Austin Peay State University’s baseball team brings a four-game road trip to an end when it meets Middle Tennessee for a 6:00pm, Tuesday contest in Murfreesboro Tennessee.

Tuesday’s contest is the second game of a home-and-home series between the two Tennessee-based squads.

The Blue Raiders handed the Governors a 9-0 loss in Clarksville, March 13th.

Austin Peay returns to action after winning an Ohio Valley Conference series at Morehead State last weekend. The Governors became the first OVC team since 2013 to win a series at Morehead. Austin Peay will look to continue a recent hot streak that has seen it win five of seven while averaging 11.3 runs per game.

Middle Tennessee returns home after dropping a three-game Conference USA series at nationally-ranked Southern Miss last weekend. The Blue Raiders are 11-11-1 at home this season, including a 2-1-1 record during their last homestand.

First Hacks

Austin Peay is ranked No. 79 in the NCAA’s April 19th RPI rankings. The Govs have recorded six or more walks 18 times this season and they rank 11th nationally with 219 base on balls (5.48 per game). Austin Peay also is ranked among the nation’s Top 20 in both doubles per game (2.35, 6th) and scoring (7.6 runs per game, 12th) entering the week.

First baseman Parker Phillips has enjoyed the arrival of April, batting .486 with seven home runs and 20 RBI in 10 games during the month; he has vaulted into the Division I ranking in homers (29th, 11) and RBI (25th, 45). Second baseman Garrett Giovannelli batted .600 (9-15) with four doubles during the Morehead State series and also made a big move in the Division I rankings in both total doubles (5th, 18) and batting average (54th, .377).

Shortstop Garrett Kueber is batting .418 (21-51) with 15 RBI in his last 14 games with an at-bat, opening with back-to-back four-hit outings on March 18th and 2th, but has missed the last five games due to injury. Infielder Bobby Head made all three starts at shortstop during the Morehead State series and now has started and reached base in each of the Govs last six games.

Third baseman Malcolm Tipler became the regular third baseman in the Govs OVC opener at Jacksonville State, March 9th, and is batting .290 (31-107) with a team-best 27 runs scored in the 27 games since. Center fielder Imani Willis has batted .360 (9-25) with 11 RBI in the Govs last seven games, including five extra base hits (two homers).

Left fielder Kyle Wilson owns a four-game hit streak entering the midweek, batting .389 (7-18) with four RBI, two doubles and a home run during the streak. Right fielder Nick Walker had a home run in each game of the Morehead State series, finishing the weekend batting .357 (5-14) with three homers and seven RBI.

Catchers David Martinez and Alex Sala have split starts behind the plate since March 6th, Martinez and Sala each making 13 starts while Phillips has three starts in that 29-game span; they have combined to hit .250 with five home runs (three by Sala, two by Martinez) and 20 RBI in starts at catcher.

The 2018 Govs offense is a collectively young group with only 15 years of Division I experience between the 20 available position players entering the season. Since the start of OVC play 16 different Govs hitters have started a game and only Tipler has started each of the 27 games since the March 9 OVC opener and only Tipler and Willis have played all 27.

Toeing The Rubber

Lefty Josh Rye is scheduled to make his fourth start this season. While he has not posted a win in his first three starts, he has held opponents to a .278 batting average over his 8.2 innings of work as a starter. Govs pitchers have 307 strikeouts in 349 innings (7.92 K/9) this season after amassing a record-tying 466 strikeouts (8.07 K/9) last season.

On Deck

Austin Peay returns home to host a four-game homestand, its longest since mid-March, which begins with a three-game Ohio Valley Conference series against UT Martin, Friday-Sunday. The Govs have won five of their six OVC series this season, including four straight series victories.

Austin Peay State University Men’s Golf comes in third at Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate

APSU Sports Information APSU Men’s Golf

Sevierville, TN – It was an historic day for Austin Peay State University men’s golf, which kept up a series of fantastic finishes at the sixth annual Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate at Sevierville Golf Club’s River Course.

Austin Peay Men’s Golf finishes Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate three under par. (APSU Sports Information)

The Govs finished with a three-under par 861 (290-279-292), securing third place by nine shots over Marshall. Eastern Kentucky won the event with an 850, followed by Carson-Newman (851) and the Govs, with UT Martin pushing up to fifth on the final day.

It’s Austin Peay’s third straight top-three finish, the longest streak of top-three finishes for the program since nine consecutive top-three finishes spanning most of the 2012-13 campaign.

Continuing his ascension up the leaderboard on the final day was sophomore Alex Vegh, who went from tied for 26th after the first round to a tie for fifth thanks to a final-round 70, which left him at five-under par 211 (74-67-70) for the tournament. He led the Govs in both par-3 (2.83/hole, tied with Austin Lancaster) and par-4 (3.97/hole) scoring, picking up his third consecutive top-10 finish in the process—the first Gov since Marco Iten in 2014 with three straight top-10 showings.

Lancaster did more than his part, picking up his second consecutive top-10 with a seventh-place 214 (71-68-75); the Hendersonville, TN native shot seven-under par (4.42/hole) on par-5 attempts for the week, leading the Govs and finishing third in the tournament with 14 birdies.

Adding in a third straight top-10 of his own was sophomore Michael Busse, who tied for 10th at 215 (70-72-73); Busse spent the week getting up and down, canning 39 pars—tied for fourth-most over the 54-hole event.

Busse and Vegh are the first set of Governor teammates with three straight top-10 finishes since Iten and Anthony Bradley in 2012-13 (Kenny Perry Invitational, F&M Bank APSU Intercollegiate and Harmony Golf Preserve Intercollegiate).

With the trio of sophomores in head coach Robbie Wilson‘s lineup playing as well as they have the last few weeks, freshmen Chase Korte and Jay Fox have flown under the radar, but the duo was solid in their own right. Korte’s final-round 74 left him tied for 31st (75-72-74—221), while Fox continued to build off his round two momentum, firing a final-round 77 (85-76-77—238).

The Govs will take a 13-day hiatus before returning to action in Jonesboro, Arkansas, site of the Red Wolves Intercollegiate; the two-day event will be held at Ridge Pointe Country Club.

Saturday, March 3rd, 2018 | 5:00pm CT Knoxville, TN | Thompson-Boling Arena | TV: SEC Network

Tennessee Volunteers – UT Vols

Knoxville, TN – With a chance to at least claim a share of the SEC Championship, 16th-ranked Tennessee wraps up the regular season against Georgia in Thompson-Boling Arena on Saturday. The game tips at 5:00pm CT and will be televised live on SEC Network and streamed online via WatchESPN.

The Volunteers (22-7, 12-5 SEC) can claim a share of the regular-season championship with a win, but if Auburn loses to South Carolina and UT wins, Tennessee would pass the Tigers for the top spot in the SEC and would be the outright champion after being picked to finish 13th in the preseason. The Vols sealed their top-2 finish on Tuesday with a dominating win at Mississippi State behind 24 points from Admiral Schofield. The junior forward is averaging 21.7 ppg and 7.3 rpg during UT’s three-game winning streak.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Nashville, TN – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District announced today that it is continuing its flood control operation by using flood control storage in Lake Barkley to help mitigate the ongoing flood event on the Ohio River. This may cause minor high water impacts to communities along the Cumberland River in Lyon and Trigg Counties in Kentucky, and Stewart and Montgomery Counties in Tennessee.

Releases from Barkley Dam on the Cumberland River in Kuttawa, KY, are being reduced today as the Ohio River flood crest passes downstream. This reduction in discharge contributes to lowering the crest on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, thereby reducing flood risk at cities such as Paducah, KY, Cairo, IL, Memphis, TN, Vicksburg MS, and New Orleans, LA.

Cumberland River may rise due to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers flood Control operation at Lake Barkley. APSU Sports Information

Nashville, TN – No. 12/12-ranked Tennessee (24-6, 11-5 SEC) faces No. 8/8 South Carolina (23-6, 12-4 SEC) in the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament at 6:00pm CT (7:00pm ET) Friday at Bridgestone Arena.

What to do During Severe Weather Situations

Montgomery County Government Tennessee

Montgomery County, TN – Ready or not, the severe weather season is upon us. It began with unseasonably warm temperatures last week followed by strong winds and tornados that impacted more than 150 homes and hundreds of people in our community. Planning for severe weather can help tremendously.

It is strongly recommended that rural and municipal residents use a NOAA weather alert radio which can be purchased for less than $50.00 at several local stores or online. There are also free and low-cost severe weather apps including the NOAA app and apps from News Channels 2, 4 and 5.

Pasadena, CA – Much like detectives who study fingerprints to identify the culprit, scientists used NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes to find the “fingerprints” of water in the atmosphere of a hot, bloated, Saturn-mass exoplanet some 700 light-years away. And, they found a lot of water. In fact, the planet, known as WASP-39b, has three times as much water as Saturn does.

Though no planet like this resides in our solar system, WASP-39b can provide new insights into how and where planets form around a star, say researchers. This exoplanet is so unique, it underscores the fact that the more astronomers learn about the complexity of other worlds, the more there is to learn about their origins. This latest observation is a significant step toward characterizing these worlds.

Using Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, scientists studied the “hot Saturn” called WASP-39b – a hot, bloated, Saturn-mass exoplanet located about 700 light-years from Earth. By dissecting starlight filtering through the planet’s atmosphere into its component colors, the team found clear evidence for a large amount of water vapor. (NASA, ESA, G. Bacon and A.

Clarksville, TN – I recently posed the question on my Facebook page about how my fellow riders handle tailgaters. As expected, the responses ran the gamut of opinions.

I can’t say that I have had many instances of tailgaters running up on me, but occasionally, I’ll encounter someone who appears out of nowhere and it scares the living HELL out of me. Not being as experienced as some of you, I still get a little “jittery” when someone’s too close to me.

In my opinion, there’s not a lot of options to dealing with someone who wants to get a real close look at your license plate. If you’re on the interstate, and you’re in the passing lane, you can only wait until you can move to the cruising lane and let the idiot get past you.

Grasping the Power of Gods pt 5 (Gilgamesh, Hakuno)

Previously: One, Two, Three, Four,

___

The streets were not terribly busy this afternoon.

The sun bleached the paths a light gold color. Children played under the shade of fabrics that were drapped and hung over the front of buildings. He could hear mothers warning their children not to venture too far.

Soldiers trained in a field near the smithy he was heading to visit. He could see the sweat on their brows and the deep stains that said that training was continuing to be rigorous and unrelenting. If they could not stand to test themselves, after all, then there would be no improvement. And without improvement, his kingdom would not be able to rise to all challenges that came forth.

He stopped before the building he’d been described, noting the hanging sign that declared the space in the name of the lady smithy.

There would be a pointed few that would venture towards this door.

The work of forging was best with a strong hand and a critical eye. It required countless hours of focus and strength, nothing like the body of the plain one whom had lay in his bed and given herself with a delicate touch that had lingered in his mind and ghosted his skin in dreams for weeks after.

She was no doubt prepared to beg to come back.

It would at least be entertaining to bicker for a while. Siduri would get after him, but it was his free afternoon and he was looking for something of an intellectual debate. Since the attendant was attending to things, that meant his wife was forfeit.

“Wife,” Gilgamesh called, pushing forth the door to the place.

A silence met his ears.

The forge was still burning, but it was at its lowest burn. It needed new wood and nourishment. The state of the place was no longer the clean and pristine environment he had seen when he had checked on where she would live. Every inch of the place was covered in soot and charcoal.

Where…

He eyed the fabric partition in the corner.

Parting it, he stepped into a room that made a shiver run through his veins.

A stench brought his fingers to his nose, plugging it carefully as he saw the woman laying in her bed. An object gleamed on the table between them, its end turning softly in the afternoon light.

The place was trashed and in need of care, but…

Gilgamesh stared at that object.

Siduri had mentioned a weapon capable of winds, but… There was a second sense he could feel from that thing. Divinity. It pulsated from the end of the long weapon, as though the gods had been torn asunder by the strange multi-directionally spinning blade end of the thing. He could no more hold himself back than he could stop breathing.

He had to move forward.

He had to wrap his hand around the handle, lifting the weapon into the air.

The hilt fit his hand right down to the natural groves that the woman had carved through hammering and pounding. The cover that crossed over his hand was like a fabric in its quaint overlap, almost reminding him of the delicacy of the woman whom had designed it.

Adorning its decorative cover, lay the scrollwork that he had only seen in the depths of the temples. It was writing that the gods alone knew.

He tried applying pressure to that thin cover for the hilt.

The pressure did nothing.

If anything, the weapon seemed to all but purr, the power from it coaxing at his own.

There was a sense of excitement building in him, only doused by the smell.

Gods, but the smell.

Gilgamesh opened his Gates, tucking the weapon tenderly within its depths before he looked at the maiden whom had given him such a thing.

She sported scars now.

There was no smithy in the world that could forge gold without agonizing pain. For the maiden before him, there was no exception. The blisters and the scars were splashed upon her arms, bits and parts of that face sporting the same. The woman must have poured her soul into this weapon, sacrificing everything to her own aims.

I want to…

He could remember the determination of her demands.

A smile played upon his lips as he wrapped his fabric around her and picked her up.

“A bath then,” he murmured. “I’ll have the apsu fix the foolishness you’ve caused, my interesting fool. Perhaps in return, aside from entertaining my bed, you may show me the use of this weapon you’ve gifted me with.”

Predicting the winner of every Week 9 CFB game, from Penn State-Ohio State and NC State-Notre Dame to APSU-UCF

It’s beginning to smell like November college football ...

November must be near. Week 9 of the college football season features the following:

a game pivotal to both the national title and Big Ten races: Penn State at Ohio State

a Playoff eliminator: NC State at Notre Dame

ranked-vs.-ranked games that will sculpt the Big 12 home stretch: TCU at Iowa State, Oklahoma State at WVU

a key rivalry game that regularly features out-of-character performances and will shape a division race: Florida vs. Georgia

The No. 1 team is on bye, and yet I don’t hear too many people complaining about this being a boring week. (I do, however, hear people complaining about all the good games being on at the same time. I am one of those voices.)

Below are picks and projections using the S&P+ projections you can find in full in the Football Study Hall stat profiles. See the bottom of the post for more detail about these.

The spread (listed in parentheses) is shown next to S&P+’s pick for each game. When S&P+ predicts a push (a tie with Vegas, basically), I’m listing the pick on the side that S&P+ would’ve picked, if teams could score in decimals.

This document breaks games (and S&P+’s season performance to date) out into their decimal glory.

No. 11 Oklahoma State (-7.5) 39, No. 22 West Virginia 31 (Saturday, 12:00 PM ET, ABC)

No. 13 Virginia Tech (-15.5) 33, Duke 16 (Saturday, 7:20 PM ET, ACCN)

No. 15 Washington State (-3) 30, Arizona 27 (Saturday, 9:30 PM ET, Pac-12)

No. 16 Michigan State (-2.5) 27, Northwestern 18 (Saturday, 3:30 PM ET, ESPN)

No. 17 USF (-10.5) 33, Houston 20 (Saturday, 3:45 PM ET, ESPNU)

No. 18 UCF 68, Austin Peay -3 (Saturday, 5:00 PM ET, ESPN3)*

No. 20 Stanford (-21) 46, Oregon State 20 (Thursday, 9:00 PM ET, ESPN)

No. 21 USC (-3) 34, Arizona State 26 (Saturday, 10:45 PM ET, ESPN)

No. 24 Memphis 36, Tulane (+10.5) 30 (Friday, 8:00 PM ET, CBSSN)

The only reason to believe that Florida can pull an upset over Georgia is that the Gators have pulled off out-of-character results against the Dawgs for three straight years — four, really, including a closer-than-expected loss in 2013. The Florida offense finds life it misplaced against everybody else, and ... well, rivalry games are funky sometimes.

On paper, though, this isn’t a game. We’ll see.

* The number of total points and the projected final margin are determined separately, and once in a blue moon, that results in a negative projected score. One of these days, it’ll really happen, regardless of the rules of actual football. Either way, if you can find an Austin Peay-UCF spread, UCF’s probably beating it.

Friday night features an odd matchup between an FSU team struggling to a unique degree and a Boston College that suddenly found an offense between the couch cushions. Steve Addazio and the Eagles can’t send the Noles to 2-5, can they?

The MWC Mountain Division race should be pretty well-defined after this week. If Boise State and Colorado State both win (and they’re both favored to do so), the two teams will be two weeks from basically a winner-takes-all battle in CSU’s pretty new Fort Collins stadium. But Air Force and Utah State are both pretty tricky. An upset or two, and the division potentially opens wide.

Each year at Football Study Hall, I have posted weekly S&P+ picks as a way of affirming the ratings’ validity. I use my S&P+ system as a complement to most of my analysis, and the picks are a way of showing it generally knows what it’s talking about.

S&P+ tends to hit between 50 (meh) and 54 percent (great) against the spread from year to year. It isn’t always the single best performer, but it holds its own. And beyond picks, it goes deeper than any other set of college football analytics on the market. You can go into granular detail regarding team strengths and weaknesses in a way that no other set of ratings allows. (See the annual team statistical profiles as proof.)

This year, I will be posting the weekly S&P+ picks at SB Nation instead of FSH.

Because I like to experiment, however, I won’t just be posting the official S&P+ picks. Go to this Google doc, and you will find three sets of picks: S&P+, F/+ (combined ratings from S&P+ and Brian Fremeau’s FEI), and what I’m calling an adjusted S&P+ pick, in which I attempt to account for two additional factors: week of play and type of game.

Week of play: I’m finding that there are cycles to scoring averages throughout a given season. Week 1 typically falls below the season scoring average, while the final weeks of the season tend to perk up in the scoring department. This adjusted projection will take this into account.

Game type: It shouldn’t be surprising to learn that the standard deviation of possible results in a game against FCS competition, for instance, is different than that of a conference game. This projection will also adjust for different types of games. This will mean some pretty extreme projections, but we’ll see how it performs.
