Week 8 Wrapup

My Picks:

Week 1 58-12 (82.86%)
Week 2 52-9 (85.25%)
Week 3 46-19 (70.77%)
Week 4 45-15 (75.00%)
Week 5 44-15 (74.58%)
Week 6 37-19 (66.07%)
Week 7 39-16 (70.91%)
Week 8 39-16 (70.91%)

Season 360-121 (74.84%)


-------------------------------


* South Florida was the only unbeaten to lose this week, so five remain.

* Conversely, Colorado St won its first game, leaving only three winless teams.

* Louisville has lost to Syracuse and Connecticut this year. I felt like this needed to be mentioned.

* North Dakota St topped Minnesota, making them undefeated against FBS teams (2-0) and FCS teams (5-0) this season. I'd be surprised if FBS teams continue to schedule the Bison in the future.

* Central Michigan and UCLA remind me of each other, because even though both have suffered some bad losses this season, both are undefeated in conference play.

* Vanderbilt over South Carolina is just one of many surprising upsets this season, but it did make the SEC East race tough to call now. All of the teams have at least two conference losses, and only Vanderbilt has three.

* Missouri just knocked Texas Tech's Graham Harrell out of the Heisman race (1 TD, 4 INTs) with its lopsided 41-10 victory.

I did something I've never done this past week. I called a FCS team to beat an FBS team (ND State over Minnesota), and I was right. The Bison already crushed CMU this year and were 1-1 against the FBS last year (10-9 loss to Minnesota when Minnesota was good).

There is talk that NDSU's head coach will be in Lincoln calling the plays next year.
