No. 17 Nevada 35, Louisiana Tech 17
Nevada won by 18, four more than I had called. Pretty close. Betting line was Nevada -7.5.
No. 2 Oregon 37, Oregon State 20
Oregon won by 17, and I had said they'd do it by at least 12. Lookin' good. Betting line was Oregon -16.
No. 1 Auburn 56, No. 19 South Carolina 17
Auburn won by 39. Not quite the max of 6 that I predicted. Betting line was Auburn -3.5. The bookies didn't even see this one coming. What the hell happened, Gamecocks?
No. 15 Virginia Tech 44, No. 21 Florida State 33
Predicting a game based on emotion almost never works, and it sure didn't here. I just wanted five games to write about, and this one was an easy shortcut. I won't be doing that again. Betting line was Virginia Tech -4.5.
No. 9 Oklahoma 23, No. 13 Nebraska 20
I got the winner correct, and during the fourth quarter I was fully expecting the Sooners to score that last touchdown. I'm actually surprised they didn't, seeing how gassed our defense was. Unfortunately for my last desperate hopes for Husker dignity, I was right on with the fumbles and dropped passes. Betting line was Oklahoma -4.5.
Overall, the predictions went very well. It's too bad I didn't have the time to have more fun with this over the season.
