Another week, another average performance by yours truly. Maybe, this year, I am just going to be average in this contest, but I would prefer that to change for the better. Or the worse -- I just want to feel some emotion.
Moving on, we're getting further into the season and it's getting a little easier to see who sucks and who doesn't. Pitt obviously sucks, so I didn't even bother making their game a part of the gauntlet. Honestly, they set football back a few years with that performance. And Miami's not even very good either. Oh well, the fate of the Big East Conference is yet again on the shoulders of the Mountaineers. So be it.
Below are the picks for this week. For simplification purposes, we're just going to go with total wins as the gauge of success. Figuring out winning percentages with ties is a job for a smart person and, well, I'm not that person.
