I rarely see my aunt and uncle. Years pass between get-togethers. They live outside Tampa. I live in New York.

But a trip to cover the legend of Daniel Jones allowed us to meet for breakfast Monday morning in Florida. We caught up on life. Mrs. Profit. Kid Profit. The job. The house. The weather. The future.

Sometime around the waiter’s third coffee trip, my uncle turned to me, and said, “Let me ask you a question.”

His expression led me to believe it was serious.

“Why is it that everyone can’t stop talking about [Jim] Harbaugh?” the Wisconsin grad said. “It’s enough. Why won’t anyone talk about Paul Chryst?”

Let’s consider this payback for officiating my wedding.

After Wisconsin’s 35-14 beatdown of Michigan, Harbaugh received endless — and legitimate — criticism for his repeated inability to win high-profile matchups. The Badgers’ praise was largely heaped upon their running back (Jonathan Taylor), new quarterback (Jack Coan) and imposing defense.

Perhaps little was said about Chryst because few know much about him. Because unlike the former NFL quarterback returning to his alma mater/former power after going to the Super Bowl, Chryst arrived at Wisconsin the same summer (2015) with a 19-19 record as head coach at Pittsburgh.

Chryst’s first season at Wisconsin produced the top scoring defense in the country. The Badgers were then ranked as high as fifth in the nation in his second season, when he won Big Ten Coach of the Year for the first time. Chryst’s third season began with 12 straight wins and fell a touchdown drive short of the playoff.

Expectations arrived last season, but Wisconsin stumbled early and often, and finished 8-5. So, this past summer was spent talking about Ohio State and Michigan and Penn State, with Nebraska the popular pick to emerge out of the West.

Now, the Badgers have the nation’s top defense — allowing 4.7 points per game — and a Heisman Trophy candidate in Taylor averaging 7.6 yards per carry. Now, Chryst has a playoff contender again.

And until a meeting next month with Ohio State, WISCONSIN (-24¹/₂) will have no trouble proving it, beginning against a Northwestern offense averaging fewer than 16 points per game.

Texas Tech Red Raiders (+27) over OKLAHOMA SOONERS: Tech coach Matt Wells hasn’t announced who will replace injured quarterback Alan Bowman, but bet on dual-threat Jett Duffey, who produced 186 total yards and three touchdowns in relief during last year’s 51-46 loss to Oklahoma.

MICHIGAN WOLVERINES (-27½) over Rutgers Scarlet Knights: This is what Harbaugh does best, beating Rutgers by an average of 42 points.

Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders (+24) over IOWA HAWKEYES: The Blue Raiders have covered four of their past five games against the Big Ten, and came through in a 40-21 loss at Michigan to open the season.

NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS (+26¹/₂) over Clemson Tigers: Mack Brown began his second chapter in Chapel Hill with comeback wins over Miami and South Carolina. He followed with losses to Wake Forest and Appalachian State. I have no idea what comes next, so I’m just gonna put the points in my pocket.

ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE (-38) over Ole Miss Rebels: Since a pair of close battles with the Rebels, Nick Saban has unleashed his fury, resulting in a combined score of 128-10 the past two years. Again, he’ll convince his team that the 2015 loss happened yesterday.

Virginia Cavaliers (+12½) over NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH: The Fighting Irish finally earned respect with a hard-fought loss at Georgia. The Cavaliers (4-0) can’t get any after trailing Old Dominion 17-0. Both should remind you how quickly perceptions are altered.

Usc Trojans (+10) over WASHINGTON HUSKIES: The Huskies beat BYU by 26. The Trojans left Provo with an overtime loss. Transitive properties are as relevant as USC’s ever-changing, ever-excelling quarterback.

Iowa State Cyclones (-3) over BAYLOR BEARS: Less than five years ago, the Bears missed the playoff because of one of the softest non-conference schedules in the country. This season, they opened with an FCS team (Stephen F. Austin) and two of the FBS’s worst (UTSA, Rice). Do they even have a history department on the Baylor campus?

Mississippi State Bulldogs (+10½) over AUBURN TIGERS: The Tigers were prepared for the tests they expected (Oregon, at Texas A&M). Consider this trap game a pop quiz.

NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS (+17½) over Ohio State Buckeyes: Last year, the 13-win Buckeyes could only muster a five-point win over the Cornhuskers, who are averaging 38 points per game and welcome ESPN’s “College GameDay” to campus for the first time in 12 years. In Ohio State’s first four games, it played offenses ranked 67th, 80th, 108th and 125th.

UTAH UTES (-5¹/₂) over Washington State Cougars: UCLA scored 14 points in each of its first three losses, then put up 50 points in the final 20 minutes of its comeback win over Washington State. The wound is still fresh, and the opponent is the best the Cougars have faced.

Best bets: Arizona State, USC, Utah

This season (Best bets): 31-32-2 (6-6)

2014-18 record: 641-612-10
