Week 14

Due to an unforeseen circumstance, Thursday didn't go according to plan, nor did most of the weekend. Believe me or don't, but I did make five picks . . . and went 2-3. I was correct about Alabama and GA Tech, but missed Cincinnati, Texas, and California.  I finished the season at a shockingly mediocre 31-37-2.  Now I have to sit and wait for the bowl lines to come out, though I might even break out the microphone and do a Super Special Bowl Podcast.

Week 13 Results - Slightly Better Than The One That Charlie Weis Had

With the season on the line, my picks went about as well as Elin Woods using her husband's cell phone to call the police after his car accident - surprisingly bad. Touting a 29-29-2 record, I dropped 5 of 5 games and dug myself a pretty large hole this week. I must have been drinking between picks or something.

Temple (-2.5) failed to show up against Ohio (and may have damaged their bowl chances in the process), Pitt (even) couldn't stop the running game of West Virginia, Clemson (-3) got doubled up by South Carolina, UNC (-5.5) remarkably lost outright, giving NC State their first (and only) non-Maryland ACC win of the season, and yes, Laura, the Sooners played spoiler against Oklahoma State (+8) and managed to show a little bit of pride late in the season.

Week 13: 0-5
Season: 29-34-2 (.462)

Stay tuned as I attempt to resurrect my season with the SEC, ACC, and Big East Championship games.
