College Football Predictions (Week 5): The Results.

One of those odd weeks where you wouldn't have done well either betting with me or betting against me (which, this season, has been the better tack) as I went 6-4 SO and 4-5-1 ATS (Ohio State pushed at 7). I have much more fun picking spreads because it's much, MUCH harder than just picking winners straight up, even if it makes me look bad.


Enough of that, let's bring back some take-a-ways from this last weekend of College Football:


1. Oregon is good. Possibly #1 team in all the land good.

2. Alabama's not that bad either. Perhaps this is the year we get them vs. the Ducks?

3. Welcome back to the National conversation Oklahoma. It appears you are the only class in the Big Twen.

4. Oof. Connecticuit. At this point I'm wondering if Big Blue should even be ranked? A good win over Minnesota would help.

5. Ah Okie State. Just Ah.

6. The Houston Cougars are playing much, much better with O'Korn at QB.

7. Whoever made that schedule for LSU needs to be fired. Brutal for Tiger fans.

8. Washington is pretty good. Their game against Oregon could be a barn-burner.

9. UT-Austin is still a dumpster fire.

And finally.....


10. Lane Kiffen fired? Couldn't have happened to a better guy.


On to next week and some pretty good matchups.
