a really bad beat on the Ball St game, Toledo got 18 TD passes in the last minute with 14 two point conversions to clip me on that one, rest of the card was a little better and I managed to go 9-4 for Week 5 and rebound from the 0-11 performance from the prior week, I think I was able to adapt to the way the lines are being set, that being said, I'm still one of the better fades on the website and I look forward to more betting advice this coming week from everyone as I obviously have no clue what I'm doing
random thoughts from Week 5
LSU did it again, I still think that team is around top 15 quality but Miles continue to pull the rabbit out of the hat and pick up wins, if Tebow isn't up to speed from his head injury and the Gators have 12 turnovers in the red zone then the Tigers should get the upset after Miles go for it on 4th & 21 from his own 18 in the 4th quarter
Snead threw 3 more passes to the wrong team yesterday and continues proving all doubters wrong, what a fantastic prospect he is looking like to this point in the season, honestly whether or not he plays well isn't important, at least his haircut is cool, have you noticed him jerking his head on the sideline back to forth to keep the southern frat boy hair out of his eyes? chicks dig that
Miami and OU played a very competitive game but without Bradford the results aren't exactly accurate, I couldn't believe bettors were so eager to lay over a touchdown with the mustache backup that had never played a big game, anyhow, the U played relatively well and got an important win and creep into my top 10
Stanford got another big win over the Bruins in a hard fought game, they are a well coached football team that just seems to get the job done one way or the other, they will have their hands full in Corvalis this weekend though as that isn't an easy place to pick up a conference win
USC owned California in about every way possible, stack the box to stop Best and you can beat Cal, Riley is garbage just like I said at the beginning of the year when everyone thought he was improved, that kid is not a good college quarterback but if the same scouts that like Jevan Snead are looking at him then he should be a 1st round pick, USC is back in the top 5 where they belong despite not being the great team they have been in the past, now the early season loss means nothing if they run the table from here on out
Houston's hype wasn't long lived, as I said after last week's win over Tech, they are solid but they aren't near as good as their ranking, not sure how they match up with Miss St yet but traveling to StarkVegas isn't a fun trip for anyone
Kudos to coach Chip K for not scoring 100 on the Cougs last night, he pulled the starters with a 42 point lead and never looked back, he also got some other players a chance to play and keep the starters healthy and fresh for the upcoming trip to LA this week where they face a UCLA team with a good defense, eager to see the line for this game
TCU and Cincy both got easy wins over bad teams and keep their BCS dreams alive, basically what I expected
Watching Noel Devine against Colorado was enjoyable, what a special college back that kid is, he is so quick and so fast and can break one off at any moment, the WVU QB is average though
Washington and Notre Dame was a great game, I have had more fun watching Washington this year than almost any other team, that team has improved so much and I'm happy for their program to see progress under the new coach, Charlie W manages to win another game and his offense is potent but his defense is just bad, he need to recruit some speed on defense and he might turn out to be the right fit at Notre Dame
how about Idaho? they are turning some heads this season and are an ATS darling, they just keep competing and covering spreads are expanding their fan base across the country with ATS wins
Tennessee may have the worst QB in college football, is he really the best they have to offer at such a big name school? that kid is a disaster waiting to happen out there, but Berry may be the best defensive player in the SEC, he is very good and actually a pleasure to watch
Auburn's offense is fun and a nice change of pace for an SEC team, they need to shape up on defense though if they want to win the SEC conference, they can't play against CRAPtom every week, Gus M is an offensive guru though, I like watching that team now and look foward to them vs. Arkansas this week, should be an entertaining game with some offense
Texas A&M made Arkansas look like Florida and Sherman made Petrino look like Bear Bryant, they are what we thought they are!
teams that left an impression on me this week include
Louisville- they are horrible
Hawaii- they are horrible
A & M- they are horrible everywhere
UNC- they are horrible offensively
Vanderbilt- they are so bad its comical
Colorado- they need a new coach & a QB change fast
Auburn- they are an exciting team to watch, I like them now
California- what a pathetic team with no fight in them, just laid down and took their beating like they knew it was coming
Arkansas- got a win that was very needed, thanks for the easy cover Hogs
LSU- their players should participate in the Lotto
Tenn- their offense should do laundry for their defense all season
Florida St.- will they hype please stop now, Peter Warrick hasn't been in school now for a decade
Miami-Fl - showed some guts and look to be heading in the right direction, there is finallly hope in South Beach again
Idaho- love the fight in them
Washington- fun to see them improve
My TOP 10
