I don't know who is going to win what, but there sure are some good games.

Rutgers & KS State, Cal & A&M, & all th games with ranked teams look good. BC should easily beat Navy but that triple option is a stumper for some teams. How can Wake even be in the same stadium as Louisville? South Carolina looked pretty good in some of their games, i guess we only saw them because of The Ball Coach. I hope MI creams USC and OH State easily beats FL. I think MI deserved another chance.

Clemson -9.5 is my most solid play thus far.

The Horned Frogs beat the crap out of Northern Illinois last night, 37-7.

At work a number of us are playing in ESPN's Bowl Mania, pretty fun. TCU was one of my picks and I put a confidence level of 27 on them.

I picked BYU to beat Oregon in the next bowl game Thursday night. I wasn't as confident, I put a 12 on them.

You have to pick 1-32 on confidence level of all games, there are 32 games and you can only use a number once.

We should have done this here too.

You are doing pretty good so far, Marshall. Who do you have tonight? I guess I'll take the other team so you will win.

I've got Rice over Troy tonight. I only put a 3 on the game. I'll save larger numbers for the picks I feel better about.

Sorry Marshall, I turned it on too late to get my mojo working. I'll do better next time. It was only a 2 game anyway. You win your top 5 and you will have a real good chance even if you mess up a lot of small games. Where was Troy from anyway? That #17 at quarterback looked pretty tough. Won't be suprised if he shows up as a Randle El type.

I hope Bill and I have a bet on February 4th. Ravens 23 Bears 16 or something like that.

I cant bet ya on that Robmints, as I am a rare Chicagoan Bear hater. I wish nothing but ill will upon that joke of a franchise, and their pompous azz owner McCaskey family. They will be a a one and done in the playoffs.

Clemson hurt bad today. Wow they are a disappointment bigtime yet again!!!
