Surprised to see so many early votes for Utah, although I did vote for them myself. USC is loaded, not that it’s stopped them from losing games they shouldn’t have. The Trojans are favored, too. ---

I’ve been picking Utah to lose every week. I figure as long as I keep picking them to lose, they will end up with the national championship. 😃 ---

Since 1 (mandatory pick) is the loneliest number, in addition to **Mississippi** I’ll add **Cal** to my losing pick. ---
