When I made out the poll I had decided to put Hawaii in the top 10, but I ended up working them out due to other teams that just couldn't be left out. If Hawaii goes undefeated, and they probably will, I hope that they have a chance to play in the National Championship game. They have a high octane offense that can put up points on ANYONE. I heard guys on the radio wondering who was going to take Loyd Carr's place at Michigan, and they were throwing around names like Les Miles and such, but here's suggestion: How about June Jones? All he has done is change Hawaii into a BCS buster. He has done an excellent job. I could be Hawaii's waterboy though and I wouldn't leave for a million a year.
I dropped Michigan out of my top 25, all the way from second, and Texas to 14. They too have some issues, as they struggled against Arkansas State. An interesting game next week is Oregon at Michigan. Oregon runs the spread offense like App State did, and Oregon does not want to lose to a team that just dropped its home opener to a division 1-AA team. But Michigan is looking to redeem itself, after an embarassing loss, perhaps the worst in school history.
I have taken an early look at the lines and I doubt that I release 15 games this week, because I couldn't find that many I like. I will post a few that I will be looking at. If you have a game you like let me know and I will take a look at it.
A few other things that we have learned include that Temple is not as bad as it was last year and may get good value as the year progress's. East Carolina, my honey hole last year, is also a team that may get good value, although they are favored at home against North Carolina. Central Michigan was terrible against Kansas, and now have thoroughly confused me because I loved Central Michigan getting 8 against Kansas. Is Kansas that good or Central Michigan that bad?
Anyway I am going to release my picks tomorrow night hopefully. Winning up to $480 dollars can not be expected every week. A winning percentage of 67% is fantastic in my opinion, and I doubt that I will finish the year with that high of a number. I am going to say that I won't finish the year with that high of a number. Keep your fingers crossed.
