Here we are! This is last posting for George for the regular season. In a light week, George did very well. He picked 9 winners, 2 losers, and lost 2 to his spread. For the season, George is at 247-100-79==426. Here is George's point spread rating for last week and the season: Points 0-4 5-9 10-14 15-19 20-up Total Week 14 6 3 1 1 2 13 Season 102 102 70 48 104 426 Going in to the final week, George's top twenty or so has found it's balancing point. It's about time. The season is only 14 weeks old!! Anyway, look for the following to be the same after the bowls are over and the national champion is crowned. Michigan is too far ahead to be caught in George's poll. But you never know. Here's George's last top twenty in the regular season. The next one will be after the bowls.
