As up and down as my season has been, this week I was
a very average 5-5, but I won 2 of my 3 top bets of
the week. I'm not exactly happy with a .500 record,
but I'll take it in a crazy Rivalry Week in college
ball.
TOP
5 Bets
1.
Boise State (win)
2. Southern Methodist (push)
3. Oregon (win)
4. Texas (loss)
5. West Virginia (loss)
Texas
A&M Aggies @ Texas Longhorns (-13): LOSS! Texas
struggled through the air, and the coaching staff made
a huge mistake by sticking to their game plan instead
of just running the ball, which they were doing very
well. Their mistake, but we both suffer the consequences.
Oregon
Ducks (+3) @ Oregon State Beavers: WIN! I couldn't
believe the Ducks were 3 point dogs, but thank God they
were that. A loss for Oregon came, but the Beavers did
so in such a fashion to make me a winner anyway. Yeehaw!
Go Beaves!
Cincinnati
Bearcats (-3.5) @ Connecticut Huskies: Loss. Half
a point. Damn it all to hell.
Syracuse
Orange (+15) @ Rutgers Scarlet Knights: LOSS! The
Orange didn't stand a chance in this one, as Rutgers
out hit, out ran, and out played the Orange all day
long.
South
Carolina Gamecoks @ Clemson Tigers (-5): LOSS! South
Carolina found a way to slang the Tigers, and end the
season on a happy note. Apparently the Cocks didn't
get the memo that Spurrier was "moving in a different
direction", but then again, I'm just speculating.
South
Florida Bulls @ West Virginia Mountaineers (-21): LOSS!
The Mounties came out a little flat, then turned the
ball over 4 times, and it was both Pat White and Steve
Slaton, so at least the Mounties went down with their
best players to blame. Watch out for the Mounties next
season!
Southern
Methodist Mustangs (+4) @ Rice Owls: PUSH. Rice
had a late touchdown to put them in the lead, and the
SMU Mustangs couldn't take the lead, losing by just
enough to push me along.
Louisville
Cardinals (-10.5) @ Pittsburgh Panthers: WIN! Louisville
was down early, but outscored the Panthers 38-10 in
the final three quarters, making this game easy breezy
and beautifully money making for Ol' Lucky Lester.
Oklahoma
Sooners (-5.5) @ Oklahoma State Cowboys: WIN! The
Cowboys fought late, but couldn't get it done. I guess
I pulled out a half a point win, making my half a point
loss a little more bearable.
Boise
State Broncos (-2.5) @ Nevada Wolfpack: WIN! "LOL!"
I definitely had this one pegged. Easy winnings!
Notre Dame Fighting Irish @ USC Trojans (-7): WIN!
The Irish just didn't have a chance from go to done.
USC had more talent everywhere on the field, maybe even
at quarterback… Anyway you look at it, USC came
out and said, "National Championship! Here we come!"
Though I still believe Michigan should get the nod.
