College Football 2010-2011 Overall 21-12 +7.35 units (63.63%)
College Football 2010-2011 2 Unit Plays 3-3 -0.60 units (50.00%)

The 3 games I won last week were all decently easy wins. Pitt dominated the game from the street with a 80 yard pass on there first offensive play. USC looked like they were playing men against boys. Wisconsin was winning throughout but I honestly thought OSU was coming back. Washington was the one loss I had and I really felt like it was some bullshit. A bad PI call on 4th down in double OT gave them another chance and then instead of taking it to triple OT they go for 2 and fail and I lose my Washington -2 bet Oh yeah I had Kansas earlier in the week but i dont want to talk about that

Uconn -2 to win 1 unit

Changed my mind here. I realized that Ville is a horrible defense team and Uconn always make a great run in the Big East towards the latter half the of the season. They kind of blew the game last week , but I expect them to bounce back. Ville will have a tough time stopped Jordan Toddman. Also Uconn owns this series.

Wisconsin +5.5 to win 1 unit

Just don't see it IMO. Wisconsin's running game is great, so they can maintain control of the ball. I see a lot of people admit who had Iowa last week that they did not look that great and I don't think so either. Iowa plays a lot of close games, even if they win this one. I dont see it beeing by a TD or more. At most this is a close game thru out and a FG type win. I think a lot of people overreacting to Wisconsin having a let down game but you could argue Iowa is in the same spot after a big win at Michigan (obviously beating OSU a little bit bigger deal)

Why vandy? Agree with wincy but I'm sticking with the cards after they played cincy well last week against a down uconn team this year

[Alexgurv]

Think I'm lay off Vandy aman

Northwestern +5 to win 1 unit

Just seems like a good spot for this NW team for the upset.

Uconn qb Endres suspended and Offensive guard withdrew from school. Louisville -2 now. May be the bet.

Oklahoma -2.5 (-120) to win 1 unit

Oklahoma outright owns this Rivalry. I think they've played some pretty good teams this season and showed up for them. Mizzu nearly lost to SD State and other then that hasn't really faced a good team other then possibly Illinois in the first game. I think it might be a close game, so ill go with -2.5.

LSU +5.5 to win 1 unit

I hate Les Miles and everything he is about but I think this LSU team can have some success in handling Cam Newton as much as they can. They best running attack they've faced so far this year as far as I can tell is Noel Devine. I don't think anyone will disagree, a great back, who was totally shutdown. Even if LSU is outplayed, they find a way to keep it close. Auburn has deserved to lose a few earlier in the year as well, so they aren't as unbeatable as they look.
