Ladies and Gentlemen –
Before we get into the weekly picks, I want to wish all my Brothers and Sisters a Happy 245th Marine Corps Birthday, as well as wish my Military Veteran Brothers and Sisters a Happy Veteran’s Day.
My life has been made rich by our associations.
Thank you all
Enjoy Your Picks…
Weekend Rewind…
Your Favorite College Football Prognosticator returned to form last week posting a weekend record of 44 and 6 or 88% while picking the upsets of Indiana over Michigan, Liberty over Virginia Tech, as well as Maryland over Penn State and Arkansas over Tennessee.
That leaves The CFB Wizard for this season at 256 and 65 or 80%.
EDITORS NOTE: If you feel the need to applaud, please feel free to do so now.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL NEWS

Consider this my way of “making up” with the Longhorn faithful.
