I hope that anyone who takes the time to read this will take these predictions with a grain of salt. With only two weeks of data (and teams like Boise State, Oregon State, etc. having only played one game), the spreadsheet could have a little difficulty separating teams out. I think it's pretty remarkable how much better the rankings look just between Week 1 and Week 2, though.
And with that, I'll debut some Top 25 predictions against the spread (the spread from Caesar's, to be exact). That's a total of 20 games. We'll review how I did next week.
