Before we review some of the top story lines of the 2008 season, Let's take a look at our season here at JEM Football Service and see how we performed compared to our '07 season. Our final record for 2008 was 62-56 which ranked our service 60th out of 127 of the top handicapping services in the country registered with The Sports Monitor of Oklahoma. We came out of the gate cold in Sept. and Oct. but as the temperatures outside dropped in Nov. and Dec., we heated up, including an 18-8 run in the final 3 weeks of the season. Coming off a 41-41 record and a 68th ranking out of 124 in 2007, we were happy to see improvement. With that said, we are far from satisfied and are looking forward to working harder than ever to get our service to the top of the rankings where it belongs. Finally, we would like to take a moment and thank all of our customers this season. We truly appreciate your business and hope you give us another opportunity next year. THANK YOU! In our 2007 Season in Review article we pointed out some of the top story lines to look for in 2008.
With more and more parity in college football teams like Boise St., Utah, BYU and Tulsa are creating havoc on BCS teams. We can't wait to see what 2009 will bring us! 2007 NCAA football season in review... WOW!...We think that pretty much sums up what was the most exciting, exhilarating and unpredictable seasons in college football history. From the casual fan's point of view you couldn't ask for more. From the Appalachian St upset of Michigan to Stanford's conquest of USC. From Colorado kicking their way past Oklahoma to South Florida rising to #2 in the nation only to lose 4 of their last 7. Illinois knocking off undefeated Ohio St, Hawaii going 12-1 and Notre Dame going 3-9. From Pittsburgh spoiling the title hopes of West Virginia to Kansas and Kentucky shocking their conferences. Only in a season like that could a team with 2 losses in LSU win a National Title, a first in college football history! From a handicapper's point of view, speaking for ourselves, it was a little frustrating. Many of our picks suffered from an inordinate amount of back door covers and a high amount of turnovers. For example, of the 82 games we picked our teams finished -3 or more in the turnover margin in 11 of those. Going into those 11 games our team had a substantial turnover advantage in 7 of them...that hurt! We failed to win or push a game by 7 points or less 9 times and failed to win or push a game by 3 points or less 12 times. The close ones certainly didn't go our way in '07. With all of that being said, we were remarkably able to finish the regular season at 41-41 and a ranking of 68 out of 107 of some of the top handicappers in the country according to The Sports Monitor of Oklahoma. The bowl season didn't fair much better. We failed to win or push by 5 points in one game and by 1 point in two games. In two other games our teams combined for 7 turnovers when they both had the turnover advantage going in. 2007 was our 7th season and it was the first time we did not produce a profit for our customers. We believe transparency is important in a sports service and we will always show our record win or lose. If a handicapping service wouldn't, I would think twice before using them. In closing the 2007 season we are eager and energized for what is sure to be another thrilling season of college football in 2008. Here are some of the top story lines to keep an eye on...
We will be there as 2008 unfolds week by week and all of us at JEM Football Service hope you'll join us!
