That Iowa/Arizona game is gonna be a great one.

Arizona has looked fantastic this season thus far, but they've had a very weak schedule to this point. This offense has so much potential that if they have a big day, who knows.

But, I think Iowa will win it in a close one. The homefield advantage for UoA could be the difference though.

Boise State Broncos at Wyoming Cowboys

As much as I love a small school team like Boise showing up big schools in BCS games, I'd love to see this.

Anybody want a lock bet this weekend? Here it is.

Cal is -2.5

Can anyone believe that? what they did in Boulder last Saturday, now they go to Reno, they could win by 50.

Excellent observation.

That is a complete joke. Cal, has looked phenomenal this year on both sides of the ball. I think Nevada is a slightly better team than Boulder, but none the less, they're not gonna go from winning by 45, to losing, unless something horrible happens.

Yep, fairly confident in my CAL by 10 pick here. If it were a Bears home game it would be by 15.
The only real mitigator here is CAL is Clemson West-just when you think they might be something good they blow it, year after year after year.

I saw an article that says Arkansas' RB is out for the UGA game. Does that mean Arky has to reduce the number of running plays in its game plan from six to only three or four?

We got a running back?

1 Alabama Crimson Tide at Duke Blue Devils Bama
Ohio Bobcats at 2 Ohio State Buckeyes tOSU
3 Boise State Broncos at Wyoming Cowboys tBSU (in new respect for the school, I shall refer to it as tBSU from now on. No disrespect meant to tOSU.
Baylor Bears at 4 TCU Horned Frogs Possible trap game for TCU and Griffin III is tough, TCU in a fairly close game.
6 Texas Longhorns at Texas Tech Red Raiders Texas, but they better step up their offense.
Air Force Falcons at 7 Oklahoma Sooners OU, but AFA puts up 832 rushing yards, 49 - 42
8 Nebraska Cornhuskers at Washington Huskies Nebraska
9 Iowa Hawkeyes at 24 Arizona Wildcats Iowa
10 Florida Gators at Tennessee Volunteers Tenn in upset
Arizona State Sun Devils at 11 Wisconsin Badgers Wisc
12 Arkansas Razorbacks at Georgia Bulldogs Georgia is pissed.
14 Utah Utes at New Mexico Lobos Utah
Mississippi State Bulldogs at 15 LSU Tigers LSU
Clemson Tigers at 16 Auburn Tigers Auburn
18 USC Trojans at Minnesota Golden Gophers USC
Wake Forest Demon Deacons at 19 Stanford Cardinal Stanford
Maryland Terrapins at 21 West Virginia Mountaineers WV
Kent State Golden Flashes at 22 Penn State Nittany Lions Pent St. or Kenn St.
Louisville Cardinals at 25 Oregon State Beavers OSU

A few possible trap games in here. Personally, I'm a little worried about R. Griffen III running over the Frogs. Luckily, he's pretty much the only weapon Baylor has.

They ran both of their running plays last week while you were hitting the rest room. If you aren't watching closely, you can easily miss them.

LMFAO

The real impact may come if the 1st stringer was good at pass blocking. Just a thought.

Air Force isn't going to win in Norman. I guess they could throw down some rushing yards although the defense played MUCH better last week and the front 7 is better than the secondary. But Broyles will go nuts; it wouldnt surprise me if he put up 150 by himself.
