Last week I failed to put my picks on. There was a great deal going on. Wearing a heart monitor for 24 hours will change your attitude in a hurry. Fortunately, all is well after a little attention getting.
The picks last week were the worst of the season.
8 winners and 6 losers.
The week before 11 winners and 3 losers.
Notre Dame, Nebraska, Oklahoma, UCLA…they all let me down.
Guess who didn’t let me down after I had given up on them? INDIANA!
Anyone whose read many of these football words over the years knows I abhor the Wisconsin Badgers. 
Last week there were more folks at Memorial Stadium in the 4th quarter than we have seen in a while.
This was the celebratory crowd as the Hoosiers celebrated the first home win against Bucky in over 20 years.
This one was special. I was so glad for Coach Tom Allen.
The season total:
105 winners and 35 losers after picking 140 games in 10 weeks.
On to this week’s picks.
Alabama beats Kentucky… I picked the Tide to win it all. I still believe that.
Clemson beats Georgia Tech… The Tigers are at home.
Michigan beats Penn State… Michigan is living on borrowed time. Look for them to make Drew Allar eat turf.
NC State beats Wake Forest…The Raleigh boys have found something.
Minnesota beats Purdue… I want to pick Purdue. But Goldy is fired up after losing last week.
Pitt beats Syracuse… I just don’t see the Orange pulling this one out outdoors.
Iowa beats Rutgers… The Hawkeyes are 7-2 and they fire their OC. Something smells funny in Iowa City.
Tennessee beats Mizzou… I know it is at Mizzou. They are fired up. Maybe too much. They have been in the SEC since lunch.
Washington beats Utah…In Husky Stadium. Look for Penix, Jr. to throw for more than 400.
Marshall beats Georgia Southern… The Herd plays well in The Joan.
Ole Miss beats Georgia… The Bulldogs can’t keep this up. Why not the Rebs?
Oklahoma beats West Virginia… The Sooners are not a happy bunch and the boys from Morgantown are going to know it.
LSU beats Florida… Is this the beginning of the middle of the end for Coach Billy Napier at Florida. I hope not. Give the guy another year, at least.
Oregon beats USC… The Ducks muddy the water even more for the CFP standings.
Enjoy the weekend and watch the sun go down early.
Speaking the rights.
