Cuse +8 LARGE I predicted UL would lose every league game this year. I'm putting my money where my mouth is.

South Carolina +16 LARGE Spurrier just can't seem to get over the hump in Columbia. It makes sense I guess. As the saying goes "there must be a special place in heaven for a south carolina football fan cause they sure have been through hell on earth. However, the cocks have a nasty D and nothing would be sweeter for the ol ball coach than upsetting his number 1 ranked former school.

Miami -3 LARGE Canes hard on in full effect. They are the most talented team in the ACC by far and looking to avenge a heartbreaking home loss to the Heels last year.

Pitt -6.5 LARGE  Best play of the board. These two teams are going in opposite directions and I think Pitt, not Cincy, should be the favorite to win the league. They have a dominating line, stub freshman RB and an embarassment of riches at the WR position. ND won't begin to be able to stop them defensively and the offense won't keep up.

Best of the Rest

WVU +9 Wheneever we are written off and left for dead we come up with an inspired effort.

Iowa +17 Even with OSU hitting their stride, the Iowa D is good enough to get inside this number.

Idaho +31.5 It't the Spud State Super Bowl. I like the sentimental favorite Vandals to hang around.

Texas A&M +20.5 Oklahoma has nothing to play for against a decent Aggie squad. The more motivated team will make this a game.

Houston -4.5 This number simply appears too short. Imagine how good the Cougs would be if they had a defense.

Clemson -8 It's suicide betting on the Tigers but they are much much better than the Wolfpack, here's hoping they show it Saturday.

Tennessee +5.5 The Vols are playing their best football of the year as they roll in to Oxford to play an Ole Miss team whose season has been a huge disappointment.

Pitt -6.5 LARGE
