Pretty much a regular

The CFB portion of the pool overall went 49% ATS last week and is a combined 48.1% in college thru the first 8 weeks of the pool (pool runs 18 weeks across the NFL season). A total of 51 games were available this week.
Top 20 picked games, lop-sided (Last week: 6-6, 38-37 on the season):
The reemergence of the Buffs as a public dog, along with the usual ranked suspects.
The rest of the lop-sided college games (6-5-1 last week, 58-72-2 overall):
Public Dogs (7-7 Last Week, 32-33-2 Overall), 45.4% in terms of overall picks last week:
My picks:
Purdue +2.5 - the injuries at Nebraska are real, I will pay to see Nebraska gut out a win here.
Kansas +9 (KU 69 OU 147) - simply a play against OU
New Mexico +1 - wrong team favored here banking on the overall talent difference to mitigate coaching deficiency.
Boise State -5 - glad to see Wyoming on the public dog side, thought this might be a lop-sided play on Boise
S. Miss +17 (S. Miss 4, App St 17) - gross game, gross pick
UA +3 - automatic play when teams from the NW travel to the desert for a night game
ASU +5.5 (Wazzu 48 ASU 21) - see above
Good Luck!
