Alright Ken, let's see how good I can do. 60% is the goal, won't happen though.
I'll take LaTech +27.5 vs. Miami. Too many injuries for the Canes, and new QB although talented. Gore is better than McGahee, I almost put money on him for the Heisman. BYU -3.5 vs. GT UGA -2.5 @ Clemson Illinois +3.5 @ Missouri WV +2.5 vs. Wisconsin Miami, OH +11 @ Iowa Bama -17 vs. USF Fresno +20.5 @ Tennessee. I must really be missing something. This line is too good to be true. OSU +7.5 @ Nebraska Auburn -3.5 vs. USC. I think the Trojans are gonna get lit up like a Christmas tree. I expect a good game, but by the same token won't be too shocked if it is over by halftime. OU -32.5 vs. Gumby's Mean Green CU +1.5 @ CSU NC +16.5 vs. FSU UO -4 @ MSU. Sorry bro, but I really love our defense for a change. VT -20 vs. UCF. Must have missed something on this one too. Is Culpepper still with the Golden Knights? UL +5.5 @ UK NMSU +28.5 @ Texas Cincy -7.5 vs. ECU Tulane +6 vs. TCU Let the games begin!

I think USC will handle Auburn. Auburn is very over rated not at the player talent level but at the coaching talent level. Example: Seven games into the season Jason Campbell becomes the starting QB...It took them 7 games to figure out the best QB on the team. Carnell Williams they ran him in the ground until he got injured, over used then the backup Ronnie Brown is not much of a drop off in talent. Don't you think a coach with 1/2 a brain would have played both players instead of over using Carnell. Auburn will never do much until they get a better coach. IMHO

If I were Tubberville, I would drive the Cadillac a lot too Leonard. One of the 3 best players in the SEC. I will give you that the QB situation wasn't handled well. Cobb sucked. Period.

Joe, I would never put money on that WV-Wisc game, not an easy pick. I am just picking all ones Ken listed that had lines.
There are only about 8-10 games that I might actually put any money on. Miami, OH's QB is quite the gunslinger, that could be an entertaining game.

I don't know if I am going to put anything on these, but the 10 I would take would be LT, Miami OH, Bama, Fresno, Auburn, OU, VT, NC, OSU, and UO.

Sam, seems Oregon will get the cooling uniforms from Oregon based Nike, while MSU will not:
http://www.clarionledger.com/news/0308/26/wmsu02.html I think it's gonna be a 6 point game, one way or tother.
