The
BYU Cougars took the Eagles into overtime, but
Boston College came up big for me by scoring
a touchdown in the tiebreaker and denying the Cougars
on 4 downs. I have to admit this was a crazy one, but
a win is a win.
Troy
played tight with the Jackets, and a 4th quarter
touchdown eliminated the 17 point spread, giving me
my 1st loss on the week. GT won the game, but
as you well know, winning isn't everything. Not with
spreads anyway.
Not
only did Miami of Ohio struggle with the Golden
Flashes, but they just flat out lost. It's tough
when you're going for an 11 point win and your team
crumbles. Now that's the beauty of college football.
However, 1-2 isn't so lovely.
I
must have been drunk when I took the Hurricanes.
This isn't THE U like it usually is, this is
the "We get our asses pasted by Louisville without
their best player" Hurricane team. I should have
known better. Getting stuck in the past gets you to
1-3… Well, that's where it got me.
Oklahoma
got beat by Oregon by a point. As you well know,
this is one of those cases where winning isn't everything.
I won taking Oklahoma, while they actually lost. Crazy.
What's really amazing is, they lost despite 150 4th
quarter yards by Adrian Peterson.
Boise
State and Wyoming pushed. That's all the
details you get on that one.
Washington
upset the Fresno State Bulldogs in a game that
absolutely made me feel like I haven't a clue. We'll
see if I can pull my ass out of the gutter next week,
but this loss felt like burning. 2-4… Icky.
Arizona
State stomped Colorado. Duh. They didn't
look super impressive, but they didn't have to. They
took down the Buffaloes 20-3. They took me to 3-4.
Notre
Dame sucked Chef's "Chocolate Salty Balls"
and I paid the price. I can't figure out the Irish.
Barely beat Georgia Tech, killed Penn State,
and got absolutely mauled by the Wolverines.
So, I won't be taking any more Irish games. See what
they did? See? Forget them!
My
4th win came by way of a Clemson win over the
Seminoles of Florida State. So let me get this
right… Florida State and Miami both loss on Saturday?
Oh yeah…. It fells so good, like that one time
in the Home-Ec room with that one girl after school.
She made delicious apple pie. It felt so good in my
belly.
The
Auburn Tigers barely covered the 3 point spread
over LSU, but barely shmarely, that's what I
always say. This was a big hitting, smack you in the
mouth, my defense is better than your offense, one touchdown
wins, type of game. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Even more
so after it brought me to .500. 5-5.
Nebraska
covered the spread by a single point, so I'll just write
this one off as luck. They were never in it, and it
didn't seem like they had a chance after half time.
But, the Husker defense fought tough, and limited
the Trojans just enough for my 6th win.
To
complete the .500 week in gambling, Florida beat
the Tennessee Vols in Tennessee, but not by the
3 points I needed to finish week at 7-5. Florida should
move up to #2 or #3 in Monday's polls. I need to start
moving up as well. But after such a slow start, it was
nice to ride my way back into a tie for the week. Week
is on the way!
