Now in comparison take a look at the MAD (Parity) in college football. It's much more competitive. Thus, the reason systems can predict high school games in the 80% range but in college you're doing great if you get in the low to mid 70%. Nearly every week some of the best forecasting systems known to man can't pick 70% FBS winners "straight up".

I'm still looking for the 7th. It may take a while.
With Dillard having a bye Dilladboyz might be on a cruise this weekend. I saw Mariner @ Charlotte last week then spent the day with my family and the sun. I’m back at it this weekend with a full slate. It is definitely one of the best for me:
