I posted my computers bowl game predictions and a first update the past couple of weeks and with 13 games played now, it is time for another update.
In picking winners I went 4-4 for a total of 7-6 which isn't impressive but there were a bunch of close games I just missed. I had Boise State by less than a point and they lost by a point so I was awfully close to the right margin, just on the wrong side. I had North Carolina by 3 and they lost by 1. I fared a lot better picking games against the spread (which is what I've tuned the system for) going 7-1 the past 8 games for a total of 9-4.
As far as the conferences go, here is the status:
| Conference | Predicted Record | Actual Record |
|---|---|---|
| ACC | 7-3 | 2-3 |
| Big-Televen | 1-6 | 0-1 |
| Big-12 | 7-0 | 0-0 |
| Big-East | 3-3 | 3-0 |
| C-USA | 2-4 | 1-1 |
| Independents | 1-1 | 1-1 |
| MAC | 3-2 | 0-2 |
| Mountain West | 1-4 | 2-1 |
| Pac-10 | 4-1 | 2-0 |
| SEC | 2-6 | 0-0 |
| Sun Belt | 1-1 | 1-1 |
| WAC | 2-3 | 1-3 |
All of this done through the Rutgers/NC State game so things will change after tonight's game where Missouri is now picked by 8.6 with a line of 13.
