Parity

It took some time but I finally crawled out of my 2-8 start and am sitting even at 20-20.  I have had the biggest struggle picking 5 games this week than any week this season.  I don't know if this will be a good or bad thing and I don't like the fact that there really isn't a lay-up SEC line this week.  Thus, my efforts focus on the ACC; the fifth conference nobody talks about.  

In other news, this was the absolute closest I have ever been to picking Michigan but something about Kill retiring and Minnesota making this their night game paired with the fact that they have a pretty solid D and showed up for their other big game this season (TCU) has me worried.  Minnesota and likely no other school will ever again have a coach that is a doppleganger to their mascot.
