8 Joel @ RTT 113-27 1269

Here's how the RTT community is leaning this week:

  • One person is taking the 1-4 Tar Heels at home tonight against the undefeated Miami Hurricanes
  • 90.6% like Texas A&M to hold serve at home over Auburn, and surprisingly, at least to me, Georgia (at Vanderbilt), LSU (at Ole Miss), and Alabama (vs Arkansas) are all three currently getting 100% of the vote.
  • Some of the bigger games this week see closer action: 70.4% take Stanford at home over UCLA, Mizzou has a slight edge over Florida with 52.2% of the vote, and Clemson is currently getting 54.5% against Florida State.
  • 70.4% are still going against the Vols this week, which, to repeat Joel, is why they call it an upset.
  • Most confident pick of the week: Alabama, pulling an average of 18 points at home against Arkansas. Least confident pick of the week: Missouri, with a robust 2.6 points on average. We want to believe, we're just careful.
