One Sentence Predictions: Week 10

Week 10 was not the most stellar week for the One Sentence Predictions as we went a very mediocre 20-12. We had a strong showing all around but the putrid Big East and its unpredictability brought the losing up to the standard 62.5% that we continue to hover around. With a week one percentage point lower than the 63.5% we entered with our season total is now at 60-35 or 63.2%; still not horrible.

I rebounded to 3-2 in my league, the ACC so that was a positive. I would have done better if Virginia didn't lay an egg and decide to quit playing defense in the fourth quarter. Here's how the conference picture shakes out:

ACC (3-2)

Big East (1-3)

Big Ten (4-2)

Big XII (4-2)

Pac 10 (3-1)

SEC (5-2)

Another week on the plus side overall and in every league but one. If the whole nation would get on board we'd be able to get over that 64% hump that's been a road block thus far in the process. With The Eliminator rolling full throttle this week and major bowl pictures set to clear up through out November we give you this week's One Sentence Predictions!
