Boiler, how are you leaning on the conference championships?

Also, if you don't mind me asking, what's your calculus for totals? Based on your picks I'm assuming you follow the reverse line movement methodology, but I can't put a finger on how you make your totals picks.

I look at line movement, but I also look at matchups. Clemson for instance is strong against the run and Pitt is weak passing. Rather than lay 4 TDs I think the under is a better play. In general, I think 78.5 pts is ridiculous for a championship game. OU defense is really bad and as a result, I expect OU to try to limit the chances for Tex to score (by trying to dominate TOP) as if they give up 40, I think they will not get in Final Four. I also expect Tex to try to slow down the game.

If I had to pick games vs. the spread, it would be NW, UAB (which I may make a play tomorrow), and ULL. I do not like the SEC game at all or the Big12 side.

Welcome to the forum, by the way. As a Boiler fan, I always appreciate our similar school of the south...GT. Engineering...tech schools.
