Subject:      Gupta power ratings predictions - 9/9/92
Newsgroups:   rec.sport.football.college


Here are my predictions for this week's games.  I was unable to get things
ready for Chris Stassen's pool last week, so the entry I submitted was off
the top of my head (and sucked, I even listed on team twice).

I'll submit this week based on the computer predictions and keep track of
my results in the pool, picking winners, and vs the spread for future games.

This week's predicted scores and spreads:
  - points for each team listed in far left and right columns
  - negative GPR spreads indicate national underdogs who are
    outright favorites by GPR.
  - positive GPR spreads indicate the nationally favored team is
    also favored to win by GPR.
  - selected teams versus national spread are pointed to in center column.
    longest arrows denote best picks.
