8-4 finish. 7-2 on sides and 1-2 on totals. My alma mater really let me down with a total egg against a very marginal BC squad. On the bright side, Texas Tech was a very easy winner as anticipated bringing the chalk plays of the week to 10-1 ATS on the season. It has been an amazing run with those plays.
looks like we both got hosed on the Virginia-Wake game. Virginia had offense total around 310 while holding Wake to around 270. Usually a dog that holds its opponent under 300 is a good recipe for a cover and probably an under as well. Turnovers killed us, especially that pick six. However, Wake is the master of winning ugly games statistically.
My new top 10:
1. Texas Tech - 145.9
2. USC - 143.7
3. Texas - 142.5
4. Oklahoma - 140.8
5. Florida - 139.7
6. Penn State - 136.8
7. TCU - 135.5
8. Oklahoma State - 134.7
9. Mizzou - 134.5
10. Ohio State - 134.0
Notes:
1. There is a big gap starting to form between the top 5 teams and everyone else.
2. TCU, a team that will unfortunately not make the BCS, is really better than many teams that will be ranked ahead of them on Monday.
3. For all you people who bitched at me last week about not respecting Oklahoma State, please note that i still have them #8 in my poll. They will assuredly move down well below that in every other poll in the nation.
4. Texas Tech is clearly the best team in the nation right now.
5. USC moved up to #2 in my poll despite not earning many "style points" against Cal. Why? Because CAL is a fucking good team and SC held them to 156 total yards of offense. Plain sick.
6. Where is the #1 team in the nation Alabama?? Oh yeah, i have them #14, a full 13-points behind Texas Tech!!

These are pure mathematical ratings based on formulas that i have input. I have no personal agenda or opinions that affect the data. That allows me to keep an open mind when evaluating these teams, because sometimes your eyes can definitely lie to you when you evaluate a team on TV. Ratings are based on:
1. Total Yardage
2. Yards/Play
3. Scoring Margin
4. Strength of schedule in conference
5. Overall conference strength
