MWC Predictions Recap, 2010 Week 9

I said: Wyoming 23, SDSU 20
Actual: SDSU 48, Wyoming 38
Note: I guess I overestimated the defenses.  Oh, and I picked the wrong winner.

I said: CSU 34, New Mexico 10
Actual: CSU 38, New Mexico 14
Note: I guess I overestimated red zone defenses here.  I figured CSU would score 6 times: 4 TDs and 2 FGs.  They got 5 TDs and 1 FG.  I figured New Mexico would score twice: 1 TD, 1 FG.  They got 2 TDs.  I'll try to tighten that up next week.

I said: Utah 27, Air Force 24
Actual: Utah 28, Air Force 23
Note: Utah survived.  That is all they needed to do.  5 turnovers for Air Force and they still had a chance to win?  Well played by the Falcons.

I said: TCU 45, UNLV 3
Actual: TCU 48, UNLV 6
Note: I am going to stand by my performance on this one.  Win by 42, one team in the 40's, the other in single digits.  What more do you want, people?

That takes me to 42-5 for the MWC this season.  I said that 3 of the unbeaten BCS teams would lose this weekend.  Only 2 of them lost.  As a result, Boise State will not crack the top 2.  TCU gained some ground on the polls, and I don't imagine there will be much change to the computer rankings.  It might be enough for TCU to jump Boise in tonight's release of the BCS standings, which I believe will only be a temporary jump, even if both win out.  I will explain why Boise State is the best non-AQ chance for a National Championship appearance next week.

  1. Wow, nearly dead-on on the point spreads...has anyone from Vegas called to offer you a job? I'm impressed.
