Week 5 Football Bowl Projection Breakdown

It looked like week five may have been one of those weeks that would shake up the top bowl games. However, most of the favorites went on to win, albeit not easily. Florida State was down 24-7 at the end of the first quarter against North Carolina State, but came back to win 56-41. The Seminoles have certainly been vulnerable, but for now they survive and stay in the playoffs. Texas A&M had to come ...

This Week in the SEC-Week 5

It was an….interesting week. Auburn slipped past K-State after the Wildcat’s kicker missed four field goals. Indiana SOMEHOW beat an SEC-team after losing to Bowling Green. LSU almost completed an improbable comeback, but lost to an unranked MSU team. And Nick Saban continues the tradition of embarrassing Will Muschamp. It’s hard to believe we are already at Week 5, and we have a matchup that ...

Week 4 Football Bowl Projection Breakdown

The biggest changes in this week’s Bowlology comes in the SEC where LSU lost their conference opener to Mississippi State. It was not a huge surprise, but LSU doesn’t lose at home to teams like MSU very often. The Tigers have one more week to work things out before they head to Auburn. But for now that has knocked LSU out of the big bowl games. Florida State has not looked great, but beating Clemson ...

Week 3 Football Bowl Projection Breakdown

The ACC was full of surprises on Saturday. Virginia Tech lost to East Carolina in a 28-21 thriller, but that will not hinder their ability to compete for an ACC Coastal title. Virginia beating Louisville has larger implications. The Cavaliers are sitting at 2-1, with their only loss coming in a close 28-20 game against UCLA. That is not a bad loss by any means and this is a team that will reach six wins ...

This Week in the SEC-Week 3

There weren’t that many big games last week, but that didn’t stop SEC teams from making a statement. In the 11 non-conference games last weekend, The SEC outscored opponents 550-126...and yet some people say the Pac-12 is better. And with ten non-conference games again this week, the SEC looks forward to embarrassing their foes again, but we also have a big conference match-up that might just ...

The Big Ten had an awful week and it seems very unlikely that a one loss team from the conference will make the playoffs. Losses by Michigan State, Michigan and Ohio State were the marquee games, but Purdue also fell to Central Michigan and Northwestern lost to Northern Illinois. But it is worth looking deeper than just the wins and losses. Nebraska had a lot of trouble with McNeese State, Iowa barely beat Ball State, Illinois just slipped past Western Kentucky and Maryland struggled against South Florida. Overall, the Big Ten looked bad on ...

Betting Turf - Week 2 Football

Gambling sharps (the best gamblers around) are right roughly 57% of the time. That figure sounds low to most. But, in fact, it is a high enough figure to make a living off of. The key to being a sharp is not only picking more winners than losers, but also finding the best lines and odds for your bets. An extra half point here, an extra point there makes a huge difference over the course of a season. ...

There were not too many surprises that were so damaging to a team that we had to knock them out of a projected bowl. However, South Carolina moved out of the Capital One Bowl and Georgia, who looked very impressive against Clemson, moved into their spot. The only change among the New Year’s Six Bowls was the automatic qualifier from the “Little Five.” UCF was in the Peach Bowl, but their loss to Penn State will hurt their resume. Cincinnati, who does not play UCF in AAC play this year, takes their spot for now.

This Week in the SEC (Week 1)
