Last week: 0-3
YTD: 11-20, -13.0

Wow. What a lousy college season so far. My college record is starting to look like Stu Gotz's in that contest we had a few years back. Fortunately, there is more season left, there are games on Sunday...and hoops starts in two weeks.

USC +7, -120
Will it be the fourth Saturday in a row for the home dog to knock off #1? The Kiffins had a bye week to prepare and both Trojan losses were only by field goals. USC has not been a home dog in 9 years. You think maybe the Trojans will be reminded of that a few times this week? And as good as Oregon's O is, USC has a better D.

Time to kill the books.

Stanford -Washington over 63.5

Iowa -6.5 vs. Michigan State
A lot of public money coming in on Mich. State, but line not moving. Hmmmmm. MSU may be undefeated, but I see value in this number.

When Iowa played at Michigan it was -3.5. When MSU played at Mich, MSU was +4. At that point in time, Iowa was 7.5 higher than MSU in power ratings..which would translate to 10.5 at Iowa.

WHen Iowa played Wisconsin at home it was -6. When MSU played at home vs. Wisconsin, MSU was +3. Based on those two games, Iowa was 3 higher than Wis and MSU was 6 lower than Wis. That makes Iowa 9 higher than MSU or 12 if the game were at Iowa.

So now, after Iowa loses to Wis, the difference is only 3.5 in power ratings? I could see one or two points total moves in the Iowa and MSU PRs, but this is a 5.5 point move. Yes MSU is undefeated and yes they may have been undervalued, but looks like too much of a move to me. And leaving the number at the classic dog trap number of 6.5 suggests to me the books are taking a position on Iowa. So am I.

week 9: 1-1 -0.02
