College Football Recap week 2
7-7-1 for tweeted picks
17-12-1 for the year so far
couple games didn’t play such as S florida, Miami and Florida State
Big winning conferences
ACC – Minus the Virginia Indiana game they were flawless. Huge Duke win vs Northwestern. Clemson win vs Auburn was huge.
Big 12 – Oklahoma was huge for them and the whole conference. TCU taking out Arkansas didn’t hurt. They would be my favorite if Kansas and Baylor didn’t let them down this week. Iowa state was also a close game.
Losers –
Big 10 – Didn’t cover many spreads this week. Ohio State losing. Penn State not covering. Wisconsin looking like crap. Michigan no offense. NU losing. Rutgers losing. This was definitley not a good week for the big 10. I still think this will be a premier conference and if Wisconsin and Penn State can go undefeated to the Big 10 championship game, they both can get in.
Pac 12 – Washington State should have lost that game. Both the Zona teams lost outright. Pathetic. Utah beats BYU in a god awful game to watch. Oregon state loses to to Minnesota by a lot. Oregon beats Nebraska but does not cover the spread.
SEC – Auburns loss and Arkansas loss ruined it. Georgia did beat notre dame but not enough to boost the conference. I will be looking to fade Arkansas the way out.
Games
Wisconsin Vs Florida Atlantic – What we learned is that Wisconsin can’t enforce their will on all running plays. We also learned that Wisconsin still lacks a valid pass rush. Lots of open Wide Receivers for Florida Atlantic. Wisconsin will be downgraded a point in my power ratings
Michigan Vs Cincinatti – What a boring game. Michigan’s defense scored 2 TDs and special teams got a lucky 2 point safety on a bad snap. I picked the over and had a push at 50. I was lucky because I was wrong. Michigan’s offense really is bad. I got lucky with the push
Buffalo is for real for at least covering this year. They should have beaten army straight up. X UW whitewater coach Lance Leipold won the division 3 championship 6 out of 8 years in Whitewater. Now he has his recruits. Watch out Mid American Conference
North Carolina has no Defense is all i have to say about that bad beat. Look to ride the over with them.
West Virginia will continue to throw the ball with Grier and will hit a lot of huge overs
Arkansas can’t hit Field Goals and pissed away a great opportunity.
Northwestern isn’t what they thought they were!!! Thats what Denny Green would say! Probably better for Wisconsin in the Big Ten West
Kansas’s QB is not good. I had to stop watching…. Fade them in every big 12 game here on out
Purdue fooled the sharps once again and smacked the Mac crushing Ohio 44-21. Now that score is a bit misleading because Ohio had some uncharacteristic tournovers. Frank Solich must be pissed. They did show some good signs that game. I may be on them next week
Alabama has the respect not to blow out bad teams. But they will blow out SEC teams. mark my words!
Penn state finally failed to cover. After 11 covers straight! But it did cover the opening line. They won by 19 points against a pretty good Pitt team. Penn state won’t be downgraded over this.
Rutgers Huge Let down to many big 10 fans. Lots of sharps as well. They still could be a sneaky cover team.
USC – They toyed with our emotions. They completely were the team who we thought we knew from last year. Stanford was lethargic against them and they now need to win out.
Ohio State – No change. I already had them below Penn State in my power ratings. They played a team that had everything to lose. Baker Mayfield is a legitimate heisman contender. They will lose a stinker. Mark my words
Clemson – Took care of business at home. Beat a great Auburn Defense. Auburn needs to run the table.
look ahead spots for next week:
- Stanford playing San Diego state has UCLA on deck
- UCLA playing Memphis has at Stanford on deck
- TCU playing SMU has at OK State on deck
- OK State at Pittsburgh has TCU on deck.
Let down spots for next week:
- Oklahoma plays Tulane at home
- Clemson plays at Louisville
- Duke plays Baylor at home and looks ahead to North Carolina????
