I posted my computers bowl game predictions a few days ago and with 5 games played, I thought I'd give an update.
In picking winners I went 3-2 getting Wake Forest over Navy, South Florida over Memphis, and Arizona over BYU, but missed the close Colorado State win over Fresno State and close Southern Miss win over Troy. Not a bad start as the misses were expected to be and were close games and Vegas also went 3-2.
As far as the conferences go, it is very early but here is the status:
| Conference | Predicted Record | Actual Record |
|---|---|---|
| ACC | 7-3 | 1-0 |
| Big-Televen | 1-6 | 0-0 |
| Big-12 | 7-0 | 0-0 |
| Big-East | 3-3 | 1-0 |
| C-USA | 2-4 | 1-1 |
| Independents | 0-2 | 0-1 |
| MAC | 3-2 | 0-0 |
| Mountain West | 1-4 | 1-1 |
| Pac-10 | 4-1 | 1-0 |
| SEC | 2-6 | 0-0 |
| Sun Belt | 1-1 | 0-1 |
| WAC | 3-2 | 0-1 |
The only conference where things are off to a bit of a wrong start is the WAC but still 4 games to go.
As far as the original predictions and any changes, apart from a few tenths here and there, the only change in a pick is to change Hawaii in a virtual tie to Notre Dame by 0.3.
There is a great game tonight with 12-0 Boise State taking on 10-2 TCU, TCU's two loses to Oklahoma and Utah. Current pick is to take the 3 points Boise State is being given as I pick them by 0.4. Enjoy!
