The Greatest Pool in the History of the World has something in common with NASCAR racing on the super-speedways. You need to avoid the “Big One”.
Squiggy was unable to avoid the train-wreck of Week 3. Va Tech gets demolished by ODU at home in his double game. So Carolina loses a QB and a home game. Jax. State loses to Ga. Southern and PJ and the Gophs are the cherry on top of a disaster weekend. 2 points for the week – 68 total points in 3 weeks. How bad is it? The epically bad Chip Diller squad had 83 points after 3 weeks last year.
Cletus wins the week (6-0, 4-0 vs the spread). Utah scores 20 points with a road win at Wyoming in his double game.
Sergio remains our leader but the margin shrinks a bit each week. Ohio State couldn’t cover the number in his in-state double game.
Bronko gets 5 wins this week, Boston College falls to Stanford as a 12 point fave. He sits in 3rd place.
Squirrel is off to a solid 17-1 start, checking in at the 4 spot. 0-3 vs the spread this week. No Squirrel, Incarnate Word is not an FBS team. Neither is Southern.
Champ marks the deregulation line in 5th place. The double-edged sword of the pool gets him again. An Irish home loss was his demise (and joy) this week.
Navin and Operaman post 34 point weeks and sit in a tie atop the “Group of Pizza”. Navin’s UCLA squad loses at home to New Mexico and gets their coach fired.
For Operaman, Clemson loses its 2nd game, following in the footsteps of his #1 pick last year, Liberty.
Wile E. pulls out a double-win with his Dawgs downing ranked Tennessee. UConn loses as a 10 point favorite at upstart Delaware.
On to week 4 – and into conference play. The bye weeks will be an interesting path to navigate. I see stormy Saturdays on the horizon.
