In the past several years, I have given you my category picks for every game involving an FBS team. This year I am going to give you my category picks that include just the Top 5 teams as you need to become a Inside the Pressbox subscriber to get all of my picks for not only the games involving the Top 25 teams but also any FBS vs FBS game.
In these picks, I list the projected scores from my computer’s forecast. Another column shows you the computers yardage forecast for each game. I think it will be interesting to see who the computer picks to win the yardage battle and see if they win the game. In my College Football magazine I have the plus and minus ratings. I update them weekly and then factor in the home edge and I will show you who the Plus Minus ratings forecast. I will also list who Vegas has favored to win each week and we can see how they do picking the actual winners of games. There is also a WEEKLY POLL, which you can enter for free each week. What I will do is on Friday morning I will tabulate the vote on each game and list who the fans are picking to win the games.
Listed below are each of these category picks for this week.
