That does not mean the approach changes going into this final week. Management made up its mind long before the games began. Stepping in for senior betting analyst Andrew Caley while he enjoyed paternity leave was always on an interim basis, and going 10-5 in my college football picks across the last five weeks was not going to change that. Sometimes a strong stretch gets cut short for a supposed greater good. Sometimes the results in front of your face, no matter how encouraging and obvious, can still be overruled by the decision-makers. Sometimes the front office makes the call.
