Continue to just tread water. Waiting for that one big week to get over the hump. Here is what I am on for week 8:
Troy -8
Kansas St -2.5
TCU +6.5
Ole Miss +6
Iowa +3.5
A couple notes:
Huge conference game for Troy on ESPN with revenge on their minds. South Alabama beat them last year thanks to 3 turnovers. Troy has the advantage in all 3 phases of the game and should win comfortably here.
Kansas St is one of my favorite plays this week. Bill Snyder hasn't lost to TX at home since '02. TX is 0-2 in road games this year, Kansas St is 3-0 at home. I don't see anything changing here. Huge coaching advantage to K State and I really like how this program has been looking after a down year last year.
TCU always plays WV tough and I love that they are coming off a bye. TCU will look like a completely different team here and I could easily see them pull off the upset. Their 2 losses this season were by a combined 9 points against Oklahoma and Arkansas. The Big 12 is still wide open and if TCU can sneak out a win here they will be right in the mix.
Ole Miss is strictly a play on the line here. I think it's a few too many. Rebels are 7-1 ATS at LSU and Underdog is 13-3 ATS. LSU has definitely waken up since letting Miles go, and I'm certainly concerned about Fournette returning. But Ole Miss has a WAY better QB in Kelly and the offense can do just enough to keep this one close.
Iowa seems to be the ultimate contrarian play this week. Everyone seems to be jumping on the Badgers but I really think they fall flat here. They played their toughest game of the season last week only to lose in OT. Iowa is still 5-2 this year and in 2nd place of the Big 10 West. I think their offense woke up last week and can certainly silent the critics with a win against a top 10 team here. I do think they squeak out a win but will take the points in what should be a field goal game either way.

Decent week, was actually 4-2 with USC but wasn't able to post so won't count it here. I will be out of town all weekend so wanted to get my plays in today. Here is what I am on for week 10:
Nebraska +17
Northwestern +7
North Carolina -10
West Virginia -34.5
Stanford -14
Just a couple brief thoughts. Ohio St and Wisconsin don't scare me at all. I think both of their games will be pretty close, so I am happy taking the points. North Carolina defense has been playing extremely well the last 3 games and I like that they are coming off a bye where they can prepare more for the triple option. West Virginia coming off a loss to Ok State should bounce back in a big way to a 1-7 Kansas team. Kansas is inept on both sides of the ball and I'd be surprised if they score more than single digits. Stanford also gets an easy match up with an injury plagued Oregon St team and a win here makes them bowl eligible. Should be an easy 20+ point victory.

Florida State has a mountain of injuries and BC usually plays them close. Noles sleep walk through this one and win by 17. Auburn and Colorado have been the hottest teams in the country ATS and they should be able to cover both games against inferior opponents. Oklahoma St is my favorite play this week. Should be high scoring but Ok St has the better defense. They most likely won't punt more than once all game. Iowa and Indiana I see a lot of value in the home dogs here.

The fade material continues. Can't believe the Indiana meltdown vs Penn St. They were covering the entire game until :30 seconds left when Lagow gets strip sacked and Penn St recovers and scores. That's College Football for ya.
Here's what I'm on this week. Hoping to stop the bleeding a little:
