YPPSYS College Football Prediction Results (II) - Week 1, 2010 Season
(this is a continuation of the initial posting at LawPundit, based on predictions made at LawPundit here, and to be continued in future postings in coming days as more scores come in)

Villanova at Temple.
YPPSYS called it: 24-23 for Temple.
RESULT: 31-24 for Temple.
We are 18-1 in calling the winner and 3-4 against the spread.
This is a great win for constantly improving Temple over the incumbent FCS national champions. Despite the misleading score, which resulted from a fumble recovery at the end of the game as Villanova tried one last desperation TD to overcome a 1-point deficit,  the game was almost dead even statistically and marked by an exciting 4th quarter in which the game was decided by a 43-yard field goal by Temple's Brandon McManus to make the score 25-24 with one second to play.

Arizona (favored by 15.5 points) at Toledo.
YPPSYS called it: 31-17 for Arizona.

RESULT: 41-2 for Arizona.
We are 19-1 in calling the winner and 3-5 against the spread.
The Arizona Wildcats, apparently still smarting from their 33-0 beating at the hands of the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Holiday Bowl to close out the past season, put up 518 yards total offense, 413 of that passing on 37-44 completions, to win more easily than expected, 41-2, over a Toledo Rockets team that lost 38-0 to Ohio State last year. Arizona thus appears to have a very strong team. To show how good the Husker defense might be this year, Arizona with the same QB completed a mere 10 of 31 for 46 yards in the Holiday Bowl.
