My projected opening lines before the official opening lines are released
tonite. On tuesday evening each college football season , I come back and
evaluate my projected lines vs. the opening lines (or combined average with
first lines sunday evening) in my EarlyBirds write ups, and see if there are
any discernible discreprencies on these lines vs. the opening/first lines .
The teams that had to win to get to the next postseason level, and looked like they had everything in their corners going for them, failed to do so. And one of the best counter adages to "teams that have to win" came into fruition: "teams that have to win doesnt mean they are going to!" Squads in the 5 and 6 win neighborhoods were the big victims (and mediocre 5 win teams are a matter of fact just that..ahem.. "mediocre"), and ultimated into a contrarian's delight when all the smoke cleared. TCU who were seeking postseason eligibility had a perfect scenario going, being at home and up against a bad defense and a substitute quarterback, but they did a collective #2 in their drawers in the second half. Iowa State absolutely took the worst diaper dump. BC couldnt control a BM without starting QB Peterson, and are in jeopardy of losing an easy BCS invite now with Pitt in the driver's seat going into weak Tampa. Doesn't it set up nicely for a South Florida upset due to a Pitt upset gut? Arkansas had a tougher (but manageable) task in facing a disinterested LSU at home than the other 5 win hopefuls, but the Hogs pigged out on thanksgiving , and laid a giant turd on Friday. So much for overeating "mediocre" scraps during the turkey weekend. Bok bok!
