So I'm currently in first place by 4 points in a large college football pickem. There are two peopled tied for second 4 points back and basically no one else can win. It would take a collapse in the style of what I did in the Cal rivals score prediction to lose this. In reality I don't need to even go .500, just need people to pick the same as I. The following are my picks. Feel free to make your own or tell me why I should change mine.
Baylor (at home) over Texas by 20 - Baylor's backup qb is terrible, but so is texas as a whole and Briles is a cover machine at home. Baylor covers.
Houston by 6.5 over Temple - I have Houston covering. Temple just lost their head coach and I just think Houston is the better team.
Bama by 17 over Florida - Smells like a cover, but saban tends to get his team up for sec championship games and florida just got obliterated by FSU. Bama covers.
Furd by 4 over USC - I just don't think USC is good. Furd covers. Keep in mind I've picked almost every USC game wrong this year.
Clemson by 5.5 over UNC - I actually think north Carolina is good, but this isn't enough points. Clemson covers.
MSU by 3.5 over Iowa - Dantonio vs Ferenz is a huge coaching mismatch. Not enough points MSU covers.
Now obviously I picked all the favorites which is HIGHLY unlikely to happen. The ones i'm not confident about are Bama, Baylor, and the Furd.
