[Squonk]

Week #3

UCLA +2.5 W
Georgia Tech -8 W
Alabama -8 L
Mississippi St. + 6.5 W
Oregon (1st half) -16.5 W
USC (first half) -7 W

5-1 this week, 9-3 for season in NCAAF

Week #4

San Jose St +4.5
Kansas - 10.5
Rice +3
Arkansas +2
Utah +7

San Jose St.: An opportunity to beat a BCS conference team using their better QB and WR's, while Minny may not be focused s a non-conf game and coach's seizures.
Kansas: Actually, a pick against La Tech and Kansas does need a win... and have better lines
Rice: better QB and Houston not as good as perception these past two years.
Arkansas: Bielema, running game, SEC vs. Rutgers that may have lost a bit since Schiano left
Utah: take the points in a rivalry game with a reasonable team in PAC 12 conf.

9 -3 in NCAAF so far this season (above)

Week #4

San Jose St +4.5 L
Kansas - 10.5 L
Rice +3 L
Arkansas +2 L
Utah +7 W

This puts me at 10-8 in NCAAF so far this season.

Unfortunately, since I had a pretty good 1st three weeks, I drove the ~300 miles to Vegas very early Saturday (left home at 4:00AM), only to buy six tickets with same games as above (added USC at last minute) and drove back home 18 hours later with a much skinnier wallet. So, I'll avoid that trip for a few weeks, catch my breath, spend a few weekends with the wife and try again come mid-Octoberish.

Week #5

Virginia +5.5
LSU + 3.5
Iowa -2
Florida -11.5
USC +4

Virginia: Pittsburgh not nearly as good as team that put up 58 on Duke
LSU: will make plays against young Georgia defense, and their defense will slow Georgia enough
Iowa: look at bit better than Minnesota
USC: hard not to take points with USC
Florida: a few 2nd stringers still will cover against Kentucky

Week #6

Penn St -3
Clemson -14
SMU +4
Ole' Miss -3
Missouri -1.5
Baylor-28
Stanford -8

Penn St: both teams coming off bye, Penn St has much better O-line, much better defense and a smarter coach
Clemson: indoor fast track and too much speed for 'Cuse
SMU: game in Texas, passing game (if clicks) will be too much for Rutgers, and getting points
Ole' Miss: one year ahead of Auburn in rebuilding process, otherwise much the same with both teams
Missouri: much to prove 2nd year in SEC, Vandy appears to be stumbling a bit
Baylor: had bye week to add wrinkles and will score lot & lots of points vs. W. VA
Stanford: I like Washington, yet Stanford seems to have more balance this year

Week #7

Duke -4.5
Florida +7
Wisconsin -10.5
Penn St. +1.5
Oregon St. pick

Duke: off bye, strong passing game and have already faced triple option (GA Tech) this year
Florida: I love LSU this year, yet Florida should stay within 7 as great defense and a less LSU defense than usual
Wisconsin: NW spent a lot last week, Wisky has strong running game, off bye and at home
Penn St. They need this badly and Michigan has not looked that great and restructured O-line
Oregon St: I believe simply the better team and off a bye

[Squonk]

Week #7

Duke -4.5 W
Florida +7 L
Wisconsin -10.5 W
Penn St. +1.5 W
Oregon St. pick W

4-1 on the day, 21-14 for the season in NCAAF
