Everyone is all high on Virginia Tech and I can understand that looking at their schedule. Personally I don't think they win the ACC due to FSU. So I guess I see an outside shot for the Nole's but very slim.

Wisconsin has a legitimate shot I think but I'll likely not do a future on them. I think they win the Big 10 (11? 12?) though even with Nebraska in the mix.

Oklahoma obviously has a real solid chance with Landry running the show.

Crazy as it sounds a long shot for consideration might be given to Stanford but I'll not be risking anything on them.

I concentrate mostly on the SEC for obvious reasons and I really believe South Carolina has a legitimate chance but it all boils down to Spurrier and Garcia. They have the talent to be in the conversation though.

Riggs is just another capper, but yes he does a radio show...he didn't start until last year. Great guy, was fun, might do another one this year.

Never been to the House Club. Not far, like 45 min drive. Would probably have to be a weekend night though. Let me know who you pan on seeing.

After the 3rd week I do the lines on Sunday before the openers come out. As soon as the openers are released I check my lines against the opening lines and grab the ones that qualify as plays. If it's a bigger type game i might wait a while and see what the line movement is.

It's difficult to say how I determine which qualifiers I play and which I pass on because I don't know myself from week to week. I do know that playing all qualifiers blindly is no better than about 50% though.
 
I realize after reading that, that I basically just said my program is no better than a coinflip. It's actually a little better than that because it eliminates a good majority of games and allows me to concentrate on on those that qualify. I can then research those games in more detail to elect the plays.
 
The countdown is in the final phase and we are just a couple days away from getting to what many of us love watching as much or even more than wagering on. I have 5 games on tap for this opening week. I am not betting them heavy or even a full unit because until teams have some games under their belt no-one has anything more than speculation and expectations for these squads.

Week #1 Plays:

Kentucky -19.5
South Florida +10
Indiana -7
Boise State -3
LSU +2

Just playing these for $30 each just to get my toes wet.
