Youngstown State... just what Penn State needs after a rough loss.

 

Also, how could you omit the huge Holy Cross-Harvard game :lol:

[Butterscup1679666578]

Should be relatively easy win for Mizzou over UNM. It'd be nice to get some revenge after the embarrassing loss to them at home last year. Can't take any team on the road lightly though.

 

Mizzou got 9 votes in the AP Poll this week and are currently 35th. Gotta keep climbing. There could be a huge Top 25 Big 12 matchup in a few weeks between Mizzou and Texas Tech, barring any letdowns from either team.

 

Go Tigers!

[fiver]

LSU at Auburn...The winner has a decent chance of running the table and getting into the SEC Championship game undefeated. I'm sure LSU will win and Auburn's season will be for not...that seems to be how my sports teams roll since IU's last college basketball national championship.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I think LSU-Auburn is the premiere game this week with ND vs Michigan a close second.

 

Here's hoping LSU can pull off the tough road win and keep the national title hopes alive.

 

Geaux Tigers!

[snoodmonger]

I thought FSU played Clemson this week. No?

 

KU game is televised. After our secondary got torched by UL-M, I'm a little nervous about Toledo's air attack.

UC Davis at Montana State (3 pm)

 

I'm not really sure what to make of Montana State. First they go to Colorado and beat the Buffalos but the very next week they play D-II Chadron State at home and lose.

 

Hopefully UC Davis can bounce back from being flattened by TCU 46-13.

That's what happens when a ND homer puts up the schedule. :D

OSU better not have a letdown against Cincy. A rout over a bad team is much needed after stomping Texas in the mouth.

Good news is New Mexico has been far from impressive, losing at home to I-AA Portland State and winning by a touchdown @ New Mexico St.(thanks to 4 lost fumbles by NM St.). Plus their QB who killed us last year, McKamey, shredded his knee last night. If they play with the intensity and focus they played with yesterday it should be a rout even though it's on the road.

I am suprised that Gameday is broadcasting from the USC-Nebraska game instead of the LSU-Auburn game.

They must not have received the memo that Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart don't play for USC anymore.

Truth. So many great matchups this week that I slipped right by that one.

That's dumb on Gameday's part.

Complete and utter revenge game. New Mexico lost its starting quarterback. We need to destroy them to gain even more momentum for Ohio and finally, the conference season. One game at a time for Mizzou though.

What are you worried they won't cover, cause that'd be about all I could see anyone worrying about in that game.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Cincinnati will beat O$U. You can put it on the board........

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Cincy has given O$U trouble before. If they are any good this year, and especially if the game is at Cincy, I could see a slim possibility of them making it interesting.

It's at Ohio St., and Cincy isn't any good.

[SouthSideRyan]

Isn't it kind of crazy that Penn St. is still ranked? Isn't there somebody else a little more deserving?

[Butterscup1679666578]

Like Mizzou? Yeah I agree. :-P ;)

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I think there are a few teams that should be ranked ahead of Texas as well. I don't think they fell far enough.

[CuseCubFan69]

Syracuse vs Illinois.....does it get any bigger than that? Oh, it's in football, darn.

[Derwood]

I wouldn't want to be Youngstown St. this week. I have a feeling that JoePa isn't going to be too happy with the kids this week and that they'll take it out on the poor 1-AA team.

As long as they stop scoring when they are up by 20 or so... :wink:
