Last week, I guess I was just hoping for excitement and picked a bunch of underdogs to keep things close or give us some upsets. Instead, I got a 1-6 week for my trouble. So I'm back to .500, and refocusing for better results. Too bad the slate of games this week is pretty poor again...
West Virginia (-3) over SOUTH FLORIDA - USF is still overrated from their victory over FSU. FSU just isn't very good on a consistent basis, and we saw that Cincinnati was fully capable of beating USF soundly in Florida. I don't see why WVU can't do the same.
UCONN (-7.5) over Rutgers - I'm sticking with the "Rutgers is terrible" line whenever they play decent teams.
Cincinnati (-14.5) over SYRACUSE - Paulus and a new coach have not made the Orange an overnight powerhouse, even in the Big East. I still have the Bearcats in the BCS.
Georgia Tech (-11.5) over VANDERBILT - The Commodores went to OT with Army. The Jackets should roll with no problem.
Georgia (+15) over FLORIDA - The Gators have not been impressive enough lately to merit this large a spread at the Cocktail Party.
NAVY (-6.5) over Temple - I know Temple is better than they have been, but Navy beat an ACC team last week. The Owls aren't that good.
Michigan (-7) over ILLINOIS - The Illini barely squeaked past Indiana, but they're still no good.
Texas (-9) over OKLA ST - The Cowboys just aren't the same without Bryant, their best player. Texas will be focused, knowing this is their last tough game until the Big 12 championship... Wait, who's winning the Big 12 North? Last tough game until the National Championship.
OREGON (+3.5) over Usc - In a huge game in the Pac-10, with implications for the national title picture, I like the Ducks in Autzen to confuse and rattle Barkley. USC's "big" victories this year have been over teams that aren't as good as they looked or were ranked (Ohio St, Cal, ND). The Ducks have figured things out since starting slow.
Last week: 1-6
Season: 28-28

Miami (-7) WAKE. Wake lost to Navy, who didn't even attempt a pass.
Georgia Tech (-11.5) VANDY. It looks like our defensive adjustments have been more effective. And as Russell mentioned, Army OT loss.
OREGON STATE (-10) Ucla. UCLA has struggled on the board and lost their last four. Oregon State has a lot of momentum even with the loss to SoCal.
Cal (-6.5) AZ STATE. Looks like Cal righted their ship.
TENNESSEE (-5.5) South Carolina. Vols look fired up and are playing well. Gamecocks are just doing enough to get by.
OREGON (+3) SoCal. Big game on the road. I think Barkley struggles too. Plus, I think they shouldn't be ranked as highly.
Michigan St (-3.5) MINNESOTA. Gophers could go for some defensive adjustments. Cousins should carry Spartans.
Season: 21-30
Last Week: 4-2
Hopefully, I can keep building on my recent success. I see Russell is working to bring more traffic by calling out Rutgers.
