If the college football Saturday didn’t end with a losing record with my picks, I would have been a little more pumped about the performance Southern Cal put on against Ohio State. But with a 3-4 record on the day, and now a season mark of 10-10-1, we finally dipped below the profit line. It could be worse … if you were going with my brother’s picks, you’d be down over $500 on the season. He had another poor showing, going 2-5 on Saturday. There’s a thin line between a profit and a loss, so a half-point here or a half-point there can make all the difference. Here is a breakdown of our picks.My Saturday: 3-4 (spread); 5-2 (overall); 0-1 (upset picks)
My Season: 10-10-1 (spread); 15-6 (overall); 1-1 (upset picks)
My Money: DOWN $100 (season)
Craig's Saturday: 2-5 (spread)
Craig's Season: 8-12-1 (spread)
Craig's Money: DOWN $520 (season
Game 1: Michigan -2 at Notre Dame
My Pick: Michigan 20, Notre Dame 14
My Pick: Michigan 20, Notre Dame 14
Actual Score: Notre Dame 35, Michigan 17
Of course Notre Dame is going to screw me over again. Last week I picked them to cover, and they were horrible. This week I picked them to lose, and they kill my Wolverines. That’s the Irish for you – only playing to beat me.

Game 2: Penn State -28 at Syracuse
My Pick: Penn State 45, Syracuse 7
Actual Score: Penn State 55, Syracuse 13
A team of criminals – well, maybe half of the team – beat the pathetic Orangemen to even out the day’s record.

Game 3: Georgia -7.5 at South Carolina
My Pick: Georgia 27, South Carolina 17
Actual Score: Georgia 14, South Carolina 7
As reader Richard Smith noted, losing by a half-point isn’t fun. Not in the least. Not at all. Not by any means. Makes you want to do bad things – like go out Saturday night when some Penn State football players. Oh well, the record is 1-2 for the day.

Game 4: Auburn -10 at Mississippi State
My Pick: Auburn 35, Mississippi State 14
Actual Score: Auburn 3, Mississippi State 2
Yes, that’s the right score … 3-2. Pathetic. The Tigers always sucker me into thinking they’re a good team, but they always disappoint. I’ll never pick them again. Well, they should learn the new offensive system soon, and they should run off several big wins in the coming weeks … oh, damn, they suckered me again.

Game 5: Oklahoma -21 at Washington

Oklahoma rolled to victory; we’re 2-3 on the day.

Game 6: Southern Cal -11.5 vs. Ohio State
My Pick: Southern Cal 31, Ohio State 17
Actual Score: Southern Cal 35, Ohio State 3
Sometimes, rarely, I get things right. And this was one of them. I said Ohio State had no shot, even with Beanie Wells, at winning this game, and the Buckeyes were destroyed. USC is my national champion right now, so we’ll see how the rest of the season goes. We’re 3-3 on the day.

Game 7: Fresno State +2.5 vs. Wisconsin
My Pick: Fresno State 27, Wisconsin 24
Actual Score: Wisconsin 13, Fresno State 10
This was my upset pick, but Fresno couldn’t pull it off. Fresno scored 10 points in the third quarter, but never held the lead in the game. It was a close ending, but still, at the end of the night, the record was 3-4. Craig went 2-5 on the day, winning just on Penn State and Wisconsin.
