...and so it happened again. I'm really beginning to wonder if the football gods are pissed at me.
I had 32 confidence points on Georgia Tech to beat Utah. Tech was up 14 in the 4th quarter and somehow, Utah came back to tie it and win in overtime.
I had 26 points on Georgia over Michigan State. Georgia led 16-0 at one point and went up 27-20 late in the 4th, before Michigan State tied it. In the first overtime, State was intercepted and Georgia went ultra-conservative on their play-calling to set up a field goal and missed. State wound up winning in three overtimes.
I had 18 points on Stanford over Oklahoma State. Stanford led 14-0 and never trailed throughout regulation. They had a chance to win the game with a 34-yard field goal with no time remaining. The kicker was Pac-12 2nd team All-American and Stanford had only failed to score once inside the red zone all season. The kicker missed and Oklahoma State ended up winning in overtime. Stanford gained 590 yards for the game and held the ball for over 41 minutes (compared to 18+ for Okie State).
I had just 2 points on Virginia Tech against Michigan tonight, but most people I know had Michigan with quite a few confidence points. Let's see here... Michigan gained just 184 yards for the game, 56 on the ground. They held the ball for a little over 23 minutes. Tech gained 377 yards, held the ball for over 36 minutes, yet this game went to overtime. In the extra session, Tech quarterback Logan Thomas completed a 20-yard touchdown pass to receiver Danny Coele to put Tech temporarily up 26-20, pending the extra point. As the announcers both pointed out and I agreed with, Coele's left elbow appeared to hit the ground first and in bounds. It also appeared as if he had control of the football when it touched the ground and didn't move at all, signifying that the ground didn't aid him in making or maintaining control of the football. Somehow or another, the call was reversed and Tech missed the field goal. What happened next? You guessed it. Michigan won in overtime 20-17 on a field goal of their own.
I could also point out the 17 points I put on Notre Dame against Florida State, how the Irish dominated and led throughout most of the game, yet found a way to lose or Tulsa, whom I had 12 points on, allowed a touchdown to BYU with 6 seconds left to go to fall to the Cougars. They had been up most of the game.
This is becoming so ridiculous, it's comical. From this point forward, for whichever team I picked, I'm going to predict that they dominate, yet lose. I may go to Vegas with these bets and come out a winner!
