NCAA Week 4 Predictions

A pretty solid week for the program, going about 52% against the spread, while also picking at 74% straight up.  This is one of the last weeks for any preseason prediction working its way into the program, so we're starting to see things for how they are this year versus what we thought would happen.  Interestingly, the Thursday night ACC game should be a good test for it, since Georgia Tech is a slight home favorite to it.  One of the biggest games of the week is the Vols-Gators game, where the program is very certain the Volunteers will walk out with a W.

NCAA Week 3 Win Percentages

So, I did not notice until today that last week I posted the chance for teams to cover the spread instead of their win percentages.  I'll try to remember to re-run those numbers and edit the last post to add it.  Here thoug are this week;s win percentages.

Games of note this week should include Mizzou getting a visit from Georgia, and whether or not the Bulldogs can get back on track and if Mizzou;s offense is halfway decent.  Oklahoma State-Pitt should be an excellent game, and I think the Pokes come out really firing after last week's debacle with Central Michigan.  The best game though will definitley be the Buckeyes visiting the Sooners, and if OU can get their playoff hopes back on track.

Also of course will be CU-Michigan, following a week of great twitter sparring and CU posting the best depth chart ever. 

College Football Power Rankings very rough cut

So, I normally don;t publish my rankings for about 4 weeks.  There is just too much volatility and too little data.  But I feel like there's no real harm in having some fun and looking at where its ranked everyone so far.  The program liked USC before the season, but I'm not exactly certain as to why its been so high up on them this season.  I guess it discounts a lot of the Bama game, since they're still a 15 point favorite in a rematch.

College Football Week 2

We've got one week down in the college football world, and the program is moving along nicely.  It hit about 79% correctly in the first week, which, considering that several FBS teams lost to FCS schools and others blew big leads, is not too shabby.

Week 2 should feature a bump again, as we see no ranked teams squaring off, although I will definitely be watching to see if Tennessee bounces back after the program put them into the top 10.
