Yesterday: 15-13 Straight up, 4-3 Against the Spread, 2-5 vs. the over/under.

Season: 15-13 Straight up, 4-3 Against the Spread, 2-5 vs. the over/under.

Notes:

• Wisconsin's win in Blacksburg makes the Big Ten ever-so-slight favorites to win the ACC-Big Ten Challenge, as the ACC is projected to win just under 5.5 of the remaining games. Who knows? Maybe the tenth time is the charm.
  
• Duke at Purdue is going to get all the hype, but the best game of the night should be Clemson at Illinois.
  
• Western Kentucky being favored by 25 over Georgia is one of the early-season small-sample-size quirks that are still in the system. The Hilltoppers' wins over Southern Illinois and Louisville, while impressive, are being over-weighted by the system, and Georgia has been unimpressive against a bunch of lousy teams.
