We apologize for getting this out so late. George's owners have been very
busy this week and couldn't get to George's posting until now. Let it
be on the record that George is posting this on Friday morning, Oct 4th.
Now that we got that over with, let's get on with the picks.
Last week, George did well picking the winners. He was awful at picking
the spreads. He picked 18 games right, 9 games wrong, and lost 4 to his
spread. For the year, George has picked 58 winners, 30 losers, and lost
23 to spread (just over 50%). Like I said above, he didn't pick the
spreads well at all. Here is his weekly and season totals.
Points 0-4 5-9 10-14 15-19 20-up Total
Week 5 5 6 4 4 13 32
Season 27 30 16 11 27 111
Now, to get to George's Top Twenty or so for week six. Air Force did it.
With their 37 point victory over New Mexico on the road, the Falcons
now perch atop George's mighty heap (I've been listening to Leonard too
much). The Baylor Bears also moved up the pack with their shutout of
Texas Tech. The rest of the list is no surprise. Auburn dropped
and Tennessee moved up. Iowa and Michigan are waiting for Air Force
to be shot out of the air. Here's his list:
George's Top Twenty (or so) - Week six
1. Air Force Falcons 12. Southern Methodist Mustangs
2. Nebraska Cornhuskers 13. Brigham Young Cougars
