Keyshawn Johnson and Iron Mike Enter the Rankings with a "Boom!"

NFL Announcers, Welcome to the Party. This week, the Sunday guys flexed their muscle as Keyshawn Johnson and Mike Ditka opened the NFL season with perfect weeks. Pink ties and fuchsia sock aren't the only think Key can match-up. The rest of the ESPN Sunday Countdown crew, Tom Jackson, Cris Carter, and Chris Berman all had better than a 0.75 Accuracy Index. Boomer was the worst of the pros with a 6/8 week, missing his picks of the Browns and the Dolphins.

Of the college football guys, Desmond Howard continues the strong weekend for Michigan going 2/3 on his picks, for a total of 3/4 on the season. Desmond incorrectly picked Tennessee over UCLA, which everyone got wrong.

Although Lee Corso is only 10/19 for a 0.53 Accuracy Index, he made the pick of the week, Houston over Oklahoma State. Although this was his "Upset Alert", he made the pick so strongly that Fowler asked him if he was picking Houston to win, and Corso said, "Yeah!" While Upset Alerts would normally be excluded from the rankings, this pick was included due to Corso's conviction.

Chris Fowler, Mike Mulligan, and Brian Hanley bring up the rear. Fowler made one pick, FSU over Miami, and Mulligan and Hanley both picked Notre Dame over Michigan. However, Hanley did say that he "wouldn't bet a dollar on it", so he didn't feel that good about his pick.
