Another Friday, another fresh slate of predictions for the upcoming slate of College Football games. Before I get to this week, however, let's take a look at how I did last week (while Tim Tebow was taking another Bye Week):

  • Texas won. (+1)
  • Jeremy Maclin did not score once. That means he did not score twice. (-1)
  • I'm giving myself the point here. Ohio State jumped out to a 21-0 lead with a balanced attack of luck, rushing, and - as I predicted - Terrelle Pryor's arm. If you want to attack me here, go ahead, but a) I think it's rather pointless, since I'm the one awarding points and b) I'll defend myself in the comments as necessary. (+1)
  • Graham Harrell threw for 450 yards. I'm not a math scholar, but 450 > 350. *Point* (+1)
  • Penn State forced five good possessions of anxiety out of their faithful. Unfortunately for me, anxiety-producing possessions are not the same thing as turnovers. (-1)
  • Boise State and their blue field stayed in the BCS game. (+1)
  • LSU won. (-1)
  • So did Pitt. (-1)
  • Harvard beat Lehigh, thanks to a last-minute red-zone interception. I actually watched the fourth quarter of this one on TV, it was a pretty good game. (+1)
  • Corso picked Texas, but did not successfully pick up any cheerleaders (what, did you think he was in Ann Arbor?). (+1)

Not my worst week yet, but still not great. I needed to pounce on Tebow while he wasn't playing, but...not so much. 6/10 equals +2 points, which means the updated scoreboard reads:

  • Tim Tebow: 10
  • Ned Dutton: 2
