Here are my, somewhat late, predictions....

Last week I went 21-18 against the spread and 28-9-2 picking winners.
I was 8-5 picking favorites and 13-13 picking underdogs.  I had 26
underdogs and 13 favorites.  Favorites won against the spread 21-18.
Along with most of the other computer rankings, I had a pretty good
week, finishing 5-3-4 with something like 680 points.

My top picks didn't fare so well, as only five star Wake Forest covered.
That's a couple of lousy weeks in a row after five or six good weeks
before that - kind of like Nebraska....

             last week
---->   1 - 3   x5   5 - 15          10 -   8     x5     50 -  40    56%
 --->   0 - 1   x4   0 -  4          15 -  11     x4     60 -  44    58%
  -->   6 - 2   x3  18 -  6          37 -  35     x3     74 -  70    51%
   ->   9 - 7   x2  18 - 14          71 -  67     x2    142 - 134    51%
    >   5 - 5   x1   5 -  5          42 -  47     x1     42 -  47    47%
        -----       -------         ---------           ---------
        21-18       46 - 44         175 - 168           368 - 335
          54%           51%               51%                 52%

This week's big pick is Ohio State over Michigan 20-19 in Columbus,
making it the lone five star pick and seems might sound to me.  Wake
Forest, the best pick for both of the previous two weeks, is a four
star pick along with South Carolina, SMU, Tulane and Fresno State.
