Week 8 brings questions. Will Oregon overcome a short week and a long trip and cover a giant point spread against Purdue? How about Oregon State’s run defense? Will it slow down UNLV? And how does Utah fare without Cam Rising in uniform?

Can we trust USC? Who wins the Colorado-Arizona game? How about Georgia vs. Texas? And will Washington State come up big at home this week?

I took a look at 13 college games this week.

Last week, I went 9-6 picking college games against the spread. I successfully predicted that Oregon would beat Ohio State by exactly one point. I was 11-4 picking games straight up.

My 2024 record vs. the spread: 48-36 (.571)

My record straight up: 65-19 (.773)
