Not blaming you. I of course had the choice. Should've gone with my instinct. Their schedule looked like Kleenex (was counting Tenn as a loss though)
One thing that has been messing with my head has been the way teams have been flailing around, inconsistent from week to week except for UW of all teams. After today, they may go on and do WAY more damage than anyone thought. Jake Locker outplayed Terrell Pryor by a ton. Stuff like that.
UCLA has been a bit of a surprise but I thought they'd be better able to handle KSt. too. Nope... Zona looked like crap after a half and their meaningless TD wasted a perfectly good under play with 2 min. left.
Everyting looked OK for 3 quarters then fell apart. Even Cal let the GG's hang around and ended up with just a push. They beat them wall to wall but their all-universe 2ndary gave up too many big plays. TO's. You name it. Even lowly WSU caught SMU at the end after trailing all day and then they nipped them in OT. Everything fell apart in the 4th quarter.... from where I sit, it was an eerie thing. Over and over. The Beavers were in it until midway through the 4th too, no surprise. Pike couldn't find Dilyard to save himself but then he did and it mattered, even if it was just for one play (in the 4th.)
Hell, if I have some kind of magical talent for picking last second losers, please fade me. I wish I knew how to do that from the 1st position. I think I understand what I read just as good as ever. I'm not wrong about what I see, but I'm not right enough because of what I don't see. It's not that I haven't studied my ass off. It's just not been enough. This conference is WAY different than last year. Some predictably so, some surprisingly so.
Think I'm going to ditch the doctor's meds too. Whether or not it has affected me has nothing to do with it but it may. I can't stand them anyway. I'd rather play through pain and feel normal. FWIW, Monday I have an eye operation that should go fine. Then I'm done with doctors.
I also want to add that Corp looked like he was playing in his first ever start. Hell what do you know he was. He is definitely no Matt Barkley. How sick is that? My only real smart selection. But it was too good. Then USC went down in the 4th. I didn't think that would happen. Probably 98 out of 100 here expected no different. At least I cashed on that one but I didn't need 21 points to do it. Whatever!
