Indiana to win at Northwestern, eh?
Sure, it’s a game no one cares about, but it caught my eye. What in the world is going on in Evanston?

I think Indiana is having an okay season (other than the atrocity at Virginia). Northwestern for some reason seems to be worse than they look (could be the weak, weak competition they played out of conference).
Am hoping Indiana goes bowling again this year, that would be good for them.

And I just missed out on both the Indiana road win and the Mich St upset. Bah.

Overall, another good week. Swept the Big East, Pac10 and C-USA, only the MAC gave me trouble. Even got the Nevada upset (over Idaho).
Went 41-15, not nearly as bad as I thought.
Summary for the season:
Running total:
Week 1: 64-14
Week 2: 46-15
Week 3: 43-21
Week 4: 47-14
Week 5: 33-20
Week 6: 42-13
Week 7: 44-11
Week 8: 41-15
Total 360-123
Only one Tue, Thu and Fri game this week.
I’ll take East Carolina on the road vs Memphis, VA Tech at home vs North Carolina, and West Virginia on the road against South Florida.
Will post the next few weeks of picks later this week. As my wife will be going into labor pretty soon, I want to at least make a stab at the next three weeks. If I can make adjustments, I will before each week starts.
