sorry boys gave some (weak) advice.....concerning making your own Power Ratings.......using Bill C's team previews.....
  * a great idea............but

He actually has his numbers assigned to each team........I just now saw these myself

https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2017/2/3/14496224/2017-college-football-rankings-projections

Not bad at all......keep in mind these are his un-adjusted computer rankings.......( it seems ) ......so some teams are ranked too high or low maybe....

*check with GOY lines.....Sagarin's (just out with predictions)....Massey's.........Payne's .....etc
  $$   inject your ideas..........
 
* Gold Sheet comes out next Monday at 10:00p E (on-line)....and
has the best numbers available.....IMO......for $8-9......cheaper if you buy in advance

BA, 

I would love to hear your thoughts about Stanford vs Rice game. As well as what you think about the over under 51. Keep in mind its an international game, maybe shootout?

Many thanks, and thanks for the very insightful info here.

It's all there boys......gotta dig........
  *  Oreg St logic is here with pick when posted ......more in that silly 'real CFB fan'.....thread.....last few posts....same reason I really like Rutgers

Usually.....I have 2-3 losing weeks / year.......on average
  * posted somewhere...(.after being criticized by buddies).....figured out that IF.....you had  bet a dime on EVERY pick since I started this.....about 15 yrs ago.....you would be up a quarter million dollars or so....SO THERE.biitches...............

WHO TF knows.....week 1....... I might go 4-12 (card makes me slightly nervous)..........doesn't matter...........

BA,  Good luck!!     I'm about to start a B. Connelly marathon to check out 9-9 and 9-16.

I've decided to send any winnings from week-0 down to Pt. Aransas, Rockport.   Maybe I get some much needed good Karma.  Like you said, week-0 just a warm up. Hope I win a bunch.

Playing  Memphis -1.5 @ UCF and Indy pk @ Virg. on 9-9 so far.

Muse on,   Doc
