Comparative Scores Will Give You a Spinning Headache Like Too Much Tequila

Stanford beat UCLA in the Rose Bowl 35-0. UCLA beat Houston and then number 7 Texas 34-12. Stanford could be really, really good, the PAC-10 conference could be really good, or UCLA is the most erratic or resurgent team in football history. Check with me in six weeks.

The Bruins are a perfect example of why it’s stupid to bet college football. Who could predict their last two games, based on their first two? Here’s another reason: college football is played by 18-22 year olds. They break up with their girlfriends, they stay up too late playing video games, they eat too much pizza. Bet on horses if you have to bet. They run truer to form, and someone monitors what they eat and when they have romance.
