BTW I screwed up, OU does not play this weekend....

1 Alabama at 19 South Carolina [I don't think SC can make it interesting. Tide rolls on...by 21.]
2 Ohio State vs Indiana [I'll be judging M*ch*g*n's defense on how few point tOSU give up in this one. Bucks by 17.]
3 Oregon at Washington State [Ducks pummel Coug's...55-13]
4 Boise State vs Toledo [BSU continue to look like the bully punching the computer nerd. Lose more ground in polls by winning huge. Go figure?]
5 TCU vs Wyoming [TCU 30-9]
6 Oklahoma Iowa State [Sooners 31-13]
7 Nebraska at Kansas State Thursday special [Huskers 27-3]
8 Auburn at Kentucky [Auburn 24-10]
9 Arizona vs Oregon State [AZ 31-24]
10 Utah at Iowa State [is Iowa State fielding two teams this week? Either that or they're gonna be really tired after the Oklahoma game]
11 Arkansas (Neutral Site) vs Texas A&M [Razorbacks by 17]
12 LSU at 14 Florida [LSU by 1 point...hee hee]
13 Miami vs 23 Florida State [Miami by 8]
16 Stanford vs USC [Cardinal gets busy after unraveling in second half. Stanford by 12]
17 Michigan State at 18 Michigan [Sparty out muscles shoelaces. Wins time of possession and takes a close one. MSU by 4]
20 Wisconsin vs Minnesota [Wisky by 12]
21 Nevada vs San Jose State [Nevada by 20]
22 Oklahoma State at Louisiana-Lafayette Friday Night Lights [OSU by 28]
24 Missouri vs Colorado [MIZZOU by 17]

Yah, TNERB caught it, said in post two but just in case-OU doesn't play this weekend. I cut and pasted and then modified from a top 25 site that has whatever the next game is on it....

Seems like the trend is to pick against Florida this week. Something I'm missing?

Only if the Kentucky game was the only one you'd gotten to watch.

Meyer and Addazio need to recognize we have to reduce the spread-option stuff and shift to a more pass-first attack. JB's strength is not as a spread-option guy, and EVERYBODY knows that. Why they have not adjusted to meet their players' strengths (like they have historically done with great success) is beyond my comprehension.

I've seen most of all of them, and most of LSU's games also, and am wondering why LSU on the road would get as much love as they are getting so far from the pickers in this thread.

I don't disagree with you here.

Yup. As bad as Florida has been, LSU has been just as bad. I think most people are flipping a coin.

However, I think Florida (losing this weekend) will be ready for this game. And Florida has a better chance to find it's offense this week.

This is known as "Jim Tressel Syndrome." Other symptoms include not adjusting to the opposing team's game plan and a steadfast belief that Will and Sam linebackers can cover wide receivers in the spread.

You don't bet against crazy luck, and obviously LM has made some sort of pact with the devil this season. My hunch is LSU wins on some sort of crazy clock blunder or reversed call, or maybe even locusts....

Well, that explains it then. Maybe it's the Gators turn to get the Miles treatment.

Madam Mimi is allowed visitors for an hour each day, and I snuck in. She disagrees with the homeless drunk on Miami and tSUN. I'm gonna have to get a "tiebreak" opinion from the parrot on the way home this evening.

You should have the parrot use the neighbor's board....

I think we'll play good enough in the Swamp to beat LSU.


I think the Vegas line is about 7 points. Guessing the over-under is probably around 18 points, though, considering these 2 offenses are offensive.
