The most perplexing aspect of the 2013 season was my dismal Lock Of The Week performance, despite my weekly picks being quite clairvoyant most weeks. I present them to you now:
I picked the top 25 teams/Michigan/Michigan State games against FBS opposition against the spread.
155-134-9 on the year. Red = locks of the week. Some weeks I picked against the over/under line, which is not listed here.

2013 Final PRI Ratings
For your reading pleasure. Added to the year end ratings is a comparison with Sagarin's strength of schedule to my own as well as a non-conference strength of schedule rating. Also, given the conference championships mainly provided us with fresh matchups between teams with stellar records, I have provided you a comparison had those games been included in the calculations. As I've seen in the past, there is very little change.
My ratings go back to 2003. The worst-ranking BCS teams in their respective year:
2003 Kansas State 77th
2004 Pittsburgh 51st
2005 Florida State 70th
2006 Wake Forest 21st
2007 Hawaii 49th
2008 Virginia Tech 53rd
2009 Iowa 17th
2010 Connecticut 71st
2011 Wisconsin 53rd
2012 Florida State 55th
2013 Clemson 42nd
Coming soon:
-A year-by-year comparison
-A look at my gambling prowess this season
-A sure-to-be-hilarious look at my preseason predictions
-2013 as calculated differently. I've been working on tweaks to the formula in my head.

2014 Bowl-O-Rama, Finale
Florida State -10 v. Auburn
I mean, if I'm going to pick FSU -57 v. Idaho, might as well.
Bowl Season: 20-14. An incredible record since that 0-4 clunker to start the season.
I thank you for your patronage. Plenty more coming this month.
