In the final week of the regular season I had one of my worst weeks of the year against the spread going 2-5-1, while managing to go 5-3 straight up. That brings my totals to: 64-31 (67.4%) straight up and 48-32-1 (60.0%) against the spread.
This weeks prediction:

Clemson edges Illinois
An old, ugly friend came back to visit the Tigers (8-0) on Tuesday in Champaign - missed free throws. But the Tigers used a stifling press to force 17 turnovers and held Illinois to 2-8 shooting in the final 5 minutes, including not getting a shot off at the buzzer, to edge the Illini 76-74 in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge.
The well-rounded Tiger attack showed 4 starters in double figures, despite Terrance Oglesby only taking 5 shots in 26 minutes of action.
While the victory was nice, it certainly showed some areas that could use improvement and especially that Clemson's younger players, including Tanner Smith and Andre Young, have some work to do before being able to contribute in ACC play.

Former Tiger Danny Pearman hired
Dabo Swinney hired former Clemson Tiger Danny Pearman to his coaching staff on Tuesday. It is unclear at this time what Pearman's responsibilities will be.
It's also being reported that Swinney is interested in former Mississippi State defensive coordinator Charlie Harbison to join the staff in some capacity, most likely as defensive backs coach, but this has not been confirmed.

Koenning Resigns
In a widely expected move Les Koenning resigned Tuesday as Clemson's defensive coordinator. What this means as far as who will be the DC during the bowl game goes is anyones guess at this point.

Tigers Headed to Gator Bowl
From no bowl to New Years Day in 4 quarters. That's Clemson's reward for thrashing the Gamecocks last Saturday. The Tigers will play Nebraska in Jacksonville on January 1, 2009.
