Updated: The computer went 17-7 (.708) this week, which is still way better than a coin flip under the circumstances. That makes the Massey projections 47-20 (.701) for the season. We'll see you back here next Thursday for another glimpse into the crystal ball.

Here we go again, running down the projected scores of this week's games based on the Massey Ratings that are published online by USA Today. The computer went 19-8 (.703) last week, so it’s 30-13 (.698) for the season on the games we've looked at.

Like bomb disposal and undersea construction, this seems like a job that's best left up to the robots.
