College football predictions I got wrong

Quote:I saw nothing happening for UTEP or NIU
Again, I wasn't alone. And again, this is why we watch.
SP+ projected Thomas Hammock's Huskies and Dana Dimel's Miners 116th and 125th, respectively, in the preseason and had them winning a combined eight games on average -- 4.1 for UTEP, 3.9 for Northern Illinois. Considering they had gone a combined 1-11 against FBS opponents last year, this felt darn near optimistic.
NIU, meanwhile, is 6-2 with a string of tight wins and a 55% chance of going 8-4 or better. The Huskies trailed Central Michigan 35-18 early in the second half in Mount Pleasant on Saturday, but finished on a 21-3 run and won with Kanon Woodill's 26-yard field goal with 54 seconds left. (It was Woodill's first collegiate game.) CMU had a chance to win on a field goal at the buzzer, but a poor snap negated the opportunity. NIU is 4-0 in MAC play, and FPI gives the Huskies a 50% chance of reaching the MAC championship.

we keep winning and that game won't mean anything! I couple of games go our way, and we could actually clinch with a win over Ball State
