One Sentence Predictions: Week 8

Last week's predictions went a mediocre 19-11 straight up. Misses included Bill Snyder's romp through Mike Sherman's Texas A&M squad, Sarkisian's team dropping their third game in a row and of course the Hokies stumbling out of the blocks against the Yellow Jackets. Obviously the most surprising loss for those picking games was The Ohio State with the "OMG" moment of the year; laying an ostrich sized egg in Ross-Ade Stadium.

Entering this week with a 63.3% winning percentage thus far seems to be a doable pace; my two upset picks of last week OU over Texas and South Florida over Cincinnati never took hold but we'll keep plugging along. Same format as last week; in one sentence ITB will pick all 33 BCS conference games.
