I started putting up a photo salute to each of the conference champions who were crowned this weekend and found it took way too much space. It would also have been vastly inferior to Sports Center, and I couldn't bear to be inferior. 
There were some thrillers, e.g. Mississippi State handing Houston its first loss of the season to claim the Conference USA title, Oklahoma State eviscerating the Sooners, and a great football game in the inaugural Big Ten title clash, where Wisconsin won, barely.
**** Troy @ Arkansas State -17 1/2 WIN
Final 45-14
Mimsy and I went to see Tower Heist while the Red Wolves worked out on Troy. Niiiiiice.
***New Mexico @ Boise State -48 1/2 LOSE
Final 45-0
I think Boise got bored, or we answered the question " how big a spread is too big?" Maybe they just felt sorry for NM, but hey, coach, if you turn that field goal into a TD, we cover. Just sayin'.
** Wyoming -5 1/2 @ Colorado State LOSE
Final 22-19
Wyoming's offense wasn't up to it, the cover, that is. The Cowboys win to conclude a very successful season and will bowl somewhere.
* UNLV @ TCU -38 1/2 WIN
Final 56-9
UNLV started strong in this game and it looked like the Frogs were going to be in for a tussle. Then they both reverted to form: UNLV making lots of errors and TCU scoring lots of TD's. Happiness!
My +300 bet on Michigan State ended up being decided by an infraction by a Michigan State player on a punt at the end of the game. Tough loss.
Bowl pairings are on the way Sunday evening. The first three games will take place on Saturday, December 17. Lock and load!
