The College Edge pick of UCF over Marshall was my most confident pick of the day. UCF is one of the traditional top teams in the CUSA. They were also rated considerably higher than Marshall according to my College Edge team ratings, and, still, the line on the game was dropping( I got the line at UCF -1). I love it when the public is against me, as they were in this contest.
I really like Marshall this year, and I've been really impressed with the play of Thundering Herd QB Cato.BUT, the public is easily taken by a team that is playing well, particularly a team that isn't used to playing that way.
The reality was Marshall was playing a team in UCF that has a great coach in O'Leary,a very good nucleus of returning starters from the 2011 squad( 15 returnees), and a proven pedigree. My confident pick turned into an easy win as UCF dominated in a 54-17 win.
