In some ways it seems like it has taken forever, and in other ways it’s as if it only just begun, but the end of the college football regular season is upon us. Lots of games on tap today, and a few look pretty interesting. Here’s the last shot at tying up some profit until bowl season starts:
Central Michigan (-3) vs. Miami of Ohio – The MAC Championship won’t be the highest profile game of the day, but it should be a good one. I really like the Central Michigan offense. Dan LeFevour is a pleasure to watch at QB, …read more

Oregon (-10) at Arizona – I’m going to play this game because I have a good streak going on Thursday nights, and to give you all something to read, but it’s one I would probably pass most days.

Stanford (+14) at Arizona – Neither team is very good, but Stanford is playing with heart as of late. They had the huge upset over USC and then they hung tight with TCU. That’s two …read more
