    By the way, last week, 6 of the 10 teams that were included in the "Possible Let Down/Look Ahead" spots, LOST.

    HoulihansTX,
    I don't think GT is really in a look ahead spot considering they have a bye week next week. I also don't think Houston is really in a let-down spot after barely beating Tulsa. If anything, this is a week that they have to prove themselves because they barely got by last week. If Tulsa was a good team or a rival, then I would agree, but I think Houston will have a field day against UCF's pass defense.

    I did a writeup on the contrary. In your thread.

    Scratched GT.

    Letdowns and look aheads are better when the team is on the road. Houston is in a huge letdown situation. Too hard to regroup emotionally.

    You better watch these letdowns after last week with certain teams. I really like Miss. State next week with having a week off vs. Alabama which does not have much of an offense at all. I like Central Florida also vs. Houston too. I pick those two out because those teams could play tough at home against these teams that will be favored against them by a pretty large amount of points.

    I have to question including S D ST as a look ahead. They are far inferior to Utah and they know it. I doubt if they would overlook a team they might compete with (WYO) because of a later game where they have to know they have little chance to even stay close.

    Ackem19 and HoulihansTX, thanks, I appreciate this!
    Posters should provide information, not just "picks".
    Good job!

    Let Down's: 4-4
    Look Ahead: 3-4
    Overall - 7-8

    Records combine my LD's/LA's and HoulihansTX's LD's/LA's without counting the same team twice (unless listed in a separate section).
