If I had to play these, up to 15 teams, here are the picks I would make, in order from most confident to least confident:
1 Colorado +4.5
2 Virginia Tech +2.5
3 Louisville -2.5
4 Ohio State -14.5
5 Alabama -3.5
6 Nebraska -9.5
7 Western Michigan +20.5
8 Toledo +21.5
9 Rutgers -9.5
10 West Virginia -14.5
11 Nevada Reno +21.5
12 Wyoming +42.5
13 Florida -18.5
14 Georgia -27.5
15 Northern Illinois +20.5
Thinking about placing a wager on those first 5 that pays out +225.
