In scores of other games, my entire Top 25 success streak ended this weekend as well. I was 17-4, which doesn't look so bad, except that I called the games almost all entirely wrong. Here's what I said about the Nebraska v. Ball State game:
24. Nebraska v. Ball State. This game will be over by the end of the 1st quarter. Nebraska in a rout.
Actually, it was Nebraska coming from behind to salvage a win, 41-40. Hardly a rout. I also believed Florida would "win big" over Mississippi, and they won 30-24, which is not "big" in anyone's book, and thought Wisconsin would beat Iowa by seventeen, when in reality the final was 17-13.
Of course, I'd have happily lost all but one, so long as the one was the Penn State v. Michigan game. Sadly, now I have to wait until October 18, 2008, for the Lions' next shot at UM and some redemption.

A little late getting to this one, but I thought I would share the following conversation I had with my wife (the U of M alum):
Me - So, are you excited your team beat Penn State?
Wife - Who? Huh? No. We always beat them...we have to focus on Ohio State even though they are weeks away.
Ouch. But I don't blame UM for focusing on OSU...they haven't beaten them very much since Tressel took over...
