I’d like to respectfully forget about last week, and move on to this week. Even though I didn’t go under .500 in my picks (somehow), it was still too frustrating of a day. I think this image sums it all up:
Week 1: 10-5
Week 2: 14-2
Week 3: 12-3
Week 4: 9-3
Week 5: 9-2
Week 6: 5-5
Total: 59-20
This week sees a few more great SEC games with Auburn vs. Mississippi State and Ole Miss vs. Texas A&M. No rest for the state of Mississippi as they have to prove themselves all over again this weekend.
If you missed it, I commented on how I see things going now that a good chunk of the top playoff contending teams got their first loss this weekend.
Now, it’s time for a comeback.

I was going to pick USC over Arizona as my upset, until I saw that #10 Arizona is a 3-point underdog to unranked, 2-loss USC….AT Arizona. I don’t even know what to make of that. Then I would have picked Arizona as my upset then over USC, but there isn’t much integrity in picking #10 to beat unranked as an upset.
