So I'm 3-2 on the week again, and 34-24-1 for the year. Overall, I was 9-7, bringing me to 110-104-5 on the year. I didn't bet on USC because I thought it would be a two or three touchdown game, and 14½ is a lot of points to give in a real money wager in a rivalry game. I should have bet my retirement on it, though. Here's how I did:
W * Iowa @ #22 Nebraska -9½
L #8 Houston @ Tulsa +3½
L * #3 Arkansas @ #1 LSU -12
L Ohio St. @ #17 Michigan -7½
W #13 Georgia @ Georgia Tech +5½
W #11 Michigan St. @ Northwestern +6
W Iowa St. @ #12 Oklahoma -28½
L Wyoming @ #7 Boise St. -33
L Oregon St. @ #9 Oregon -27½
L #2 Alabama @ Auburn +21
W * #20 Penn St. @ #15 Wisconsin -14½
L * #6 Virginia Tech @ Virginia +4
W Texas Tech @ #21 Baylor -13
W #18 Clemson @ #14 South Carolina -4
W * #22 Notre Dame @ #4 Stanford -7
W UCLA @ #10 USC -14½
In unranked USC opponent play, I was awful:
L Colorado @ Utah -22
L Cal @ Arizona St. -6
L Cincinnati @ Syracuse -2
W Illinois @ Minnesota +10½
L Louisiana-Lafayette @ Arizona -13½
L Washington St. @ Washington -8½
My rooting interests did pretty good. USC, Stanford and Wisconsin won. Thus, USC fans got their Perfect Day and Penn State will not darken the inaugural Big Ten Championship Game. Tulsa, Wyoming, Virginia, Auburn and Arkansas missed their upset bids. Arkansas was up 14-0, so I had a 26 point lead on the spread. Got stomped. Utah and Arizona State stunk up their home fields, sending UCLA to the Pac-12 Championship Game, which, if they lose, will drop them to 6-7 and out of bowl contention.
