Central Michigan posted a 14-6 win on the road against Akron, improving to 5-4 (8-1 ATS).  I had no idea why an extra $100 showed up in my account this morning.  Then I remembered that we bet Central Michigan - Over 4 wins for the season.  Always nice to hit those season-total bets before November.  And with the season we've had, a silver lining in a dark cloud indeed.

In a college football season loaded with exciting plays, this week's edition took place in Durham as Miami beat Duke on the final play.



While electric, it was also illegal and never should have counted.  Following the game, the ACC suspended the entire referee crew for blowing multiple calls on the play.



In a classy move, the University of Miami came out and gracefully admitted that they were lucky and the beneficiary of blown calls.




And in other news, Frank Beamer decided that he will retire at the end of the year.  29 seasons.  234 wins.  What a legend.
