Is there anything more frustrating...

know the feeling been there done that.

how about Syracuse covering 59 minutes of a game...then CINC scoring a meaningless TD to give you a push instead of a win

Well that one actually worked in my favor... I had Cinci -20.5 so I was losing all game long and WON at the end there.

Won't apologize for that one though... had Utah +4.5 and Utah had the lead 10 - 9 with 1:34 left. Touchback. Any other game, BYU either gets stopped or just kicks the game winning FG; but today they score their first TD of the game to cover with 38 seconds left to screw me.

I deserved that late steal

good job in getting the good number on bearcats....

Thanks... you said "you" so I thought you were talking about me. If you were on Syracuse, my apologies on that copout.

No doubt, last second cop-outs suck and are frustrating. But I find that longterm they go both ways.

It kills me a week like this. I went 3 - 4...

USC/ASU UNDER 49 (Loss)
Texas -6.0 over @Texas A & M (Loss)
Hawaii -3.0 over Boise State (Win)
Utah +4.5 over @BYU (Loss)
Tulsa -12.5 over @Rice (Loss)
Florida Atlantic -11.5 over @Florida International (Win)
Cincinnati -20.5 over @Syracuse (Win)

But the games I BARELY skipped over included...

UCLA/Oregon UNDER (figured UCLA's awful defense, Oregon's new-no-Dixon offense would struggle)
Arkansas +13 (love this team but after the way they played against Tenn, passed)
Virginia/VTech OVER 38 (two very defensive teams, sure, but the total still just seemed too low)
Florida -14 (May be a storied rivalry, but Tebow is too unstoppable this year and it is in the swamp)

Now I know hindsight is 20/20... it just sucks to have the feeling I left so much money on the table.

Middled the Cin/Syra game. But also suffered the tough beat on Utah. Glad I didn't watch either one of them.
