Last week's "Take 'Em to the Bank" was a disturbing setback for what has been, up until recently, one of college football's greatest prognosticators of scoring and outcomes. (That's me.)

Not only did I completely whiff on FSU at Clemson, but Ohio State at Penn State utterly baffled me as well, and Georgia Tech vs. Wake was much closer than I had thought.

For a slight ray of redemption, I will put it out there that I did correctly predict Stanford's complete and utter annihilation of Oregon.

Last week: 3-2 straight up, 2-3 against the spread.

Thus far: 8-2 straight up, 6-4 against the spread.

Not great, but good enough to win some money, were I a betting man.
