So at first glance this is a second week in a row without a lot of marquee matchups. In fact our game with Bama where we are over 2 TD home dogs is one of the biggest games. Maybe we should get some confidence seeing OR were 2 TD dogs in their win last week. But no, I don't see us pulling the upset. Not even covering the spread most likely.

Auburn at PSU is the gameday location this week. Barn are 6 point road dogs and I really have no feel for how good or bad they are this year. I'll be rooting for AU simply because I can't stand Ped State U.

We get a Friday game of some interest with UCF at Louisville with the Cardinals being 7 point home dogs. I'd love to see UCF lose but I think UL are pretty bad.

Of course watching FSU hopefully going to 0-3 could be all kinds of fun, with them traveling to Wake as 5.5 point dogs.

Hopefully Miamuh takes a second L when Mich St travels to play the canes for a Noon kickoff. That game has a strange line with MSU anywhere from 6.5-8 point dogs. I don't see the logic in that line since MSU has looked good with a potent running game behind Wake Transfer Kenneth Walker III who is a stud. Miami meanwhile had to hit a late FG then get lucky with App State receivers dropping pass after pass on the final drive, where they should have been able to attempt a game winning FG. I like MSU to win this one straight up possibly by several scores.

I don't know if it comes with aging or just suffering through a 3rd straight turd of a coach, but I find myself spending a lot more time rooting against teams than pulling for anyone. I guess as they say, misery loves company.

Ima go out on a limb here and predict Vandy to lose this week :grin:

I do think Tulane could give Ole Miss a run this week though. Not sure if they can beat em, but I wouldn't be surprised if that is an interesting game.

Are you expecting a letdown as Kiffey contemplates why Helton was NOT fired on the tarmac and left?

I definitely see the logic in the Vandy prediction but wonder how Stanford will respond to a big upset win then having to travel across the country. Still, we're talking about Vandy so, yeah, they will probably get blown out.

UCF with a pick six to lose. Awesome!
I laughed out loud during the entire return.

For a school that is neither a rival to the team I root for, UF, nor my FCS alma mater, I sure take a perverse joy whenever they lose. Why? Because they deserve it with their whole claiming a natty nonsense.

The other game tonight, Murlin vs the Illini, is interesting to watch if only because Tua’s lil bro is MD’s QB and because the Zooker is their ST and linebackers coach.

They've been mouthy since they joined the MAC in 2002. Reached a fever pitch when they had Culpepper and they've been entitled little bytches ever since.

For some laughs

"Well, that was a lot easier to stomach than a Heupel loss."
When you're rating the quality of your losses you've got problems.

"LOL, that seems like a sad way to look at life. I call 9 wins a good year."
9 wins? Went from "we want Alabama" to mediocrity pretty fast.

"Also, over/under on wins for a first year of a new coach is a dicey bet."
Yeah Malzhan is new to this coaching game.

"I hope your weekend gets better Harvey. Unless your a Gator fan. Then I hope it gets worse."
Damn we live rent free in their heads.

Indiana up 14-0 over Cincy in the 2nd quarter.

Mich St is up 10-7 on Miami. Really like the RB from Mich St.

Indiana just got called for targeting after the Cincinnati lineman facemasked the rusher. On review. Stupid rule.

OU very unimpressive against Nebraska. Hell if Nebraska had a kicker, they’d won the game.
