Obviously, the toughest decision this week was deciding whether or not Syracuse would cover the 14 points it was given from Clemson. Overall, it was a coin flip as half of TNIAAM pickers went with SU, while the other half went with Clemson. We know who was wrong and who was right.

This week's easiest game to pick was Virginia Tech covering its 7.5-points spread over North Carolina. Only a handful of people went with the Tar Heels.

Over half of the TNIAAM pickers (38 of 62) were victims of a bad beat when Ohio State recovered Northwestern's last-second fumble in the end zone for a touchdown in Saturday's GameDay showdown. If we all were betting actually money we would have all probably throwing stuff.

However, were everyone went very wrong was the Top 25 and National Showdowns. Tennessee, double-digit underdogs, taking Georgia to the wire made just four of 62 pickers -- OrangeFan6, MrPlow99, garett1210, and slowpoke24x -- into geniuses. The Stanford-Washington contest was a close second, as 49 pickers went with the Cardinals and were wrong. Nearly the same amount went with Oklahoma and not TCU.

The toughest ACC game to get correct was Wake Forest's surprising victory over N.C. State, as 50 of 62 of us went with the Wolfpack and not with the Demon Deacons.

Below are this past week's correct picks. Lines for this week will come Thursday.
