Hrm, I think some of those mismatches will be good games, actually (Ole Miss vs. Georgia, PSU vs. Illinois).

 

GO BRUINS!

[Keener98]

Please explain why IL and Penn State is a mismatch?

[Mephistopheles]

Auburn at (4) Florida (8 pm) isn't a mismatch. The Gators only loss last season was to Auburn and Florida's secondary is vulnerable. Cox has struggled when he gets pressured and the Gator defensive line has been pretty inadequate this season in that respect.

[da bears]

This is gonna be weird with Mizzou not having a game next weekend. I've been to the first four, so looks like Saturday will be one of those wake up whenever and watch college football all day.

[SouthSideRyan]

If Auburn at Florida isn't a mismatch then Florida isn't a top 5 team.

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

lol @ Notre Shame falling to 0-5 on Saturday vs Purdue

[Mephistopheles]

The 36th ranked team in the nation should be able to hang with a top five team and not get embarrassed.

[NewUserName]

I think Illinois will give Penn ST all kinds of problems.

 

This is the week we will finally see about Michigan ST. If there was no preseason rankings, I think Wisconsin and MSU would be pretty even.

Same reason Louisville v. Kentucky was a mismatch...in favor of Louisville.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'm upset you didn't include ULM vs Troy as a game of interest.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

go Hawks, don't suck

+1

 

Illinois has a better chance at pulling the upset than Michigan St or Maryland.

If you don't believe me, Wisconsin is favored by 7 and Rutgers by 14, but PSU is only favored by 3.

Alright, I changed it. I'm still not sure what to make of Illinois. Then again I guess I should be at least as unsure what to make of Penn State.

Florida is favored by 18.5... it's a mismatch.

LMAO!

A bunch of fun games to watch this weekend and it'll be fun seeing who forges ahead!

 

I still like Michigan St and I think they'll get better each week as they learn more about their new coaches system. I think Oklahoma is better than many people think and is the best in the nation.

 

What the heck happened to Georgia Tech?

 

Central Florida loses a close game to Texas and get just 4 votes while Texas is #7? Which is it, because if Texas is #7 CF must be pretty good then. O'Leary has done a great job down there.

 

I think OSU, Rutgers BC and Oregon are going to be tough teams to beat and that Cincy and Missouri have been overlooked. I wish Mizzu played Texas.

 

This football season is getting better and better.

 

Oh yeah, for you Illinois and Iowa guys, Syracuse played more true freshman and 2 scored long TD's (They got their feet wet vs Illinois) against Louisville and you must bow to us and hope we do well in the BE to help your SOS! We, for some strange reason, have given Louisville fits. Last year we (along with Cinci) held them to their lowest point total of the year.

ASU's schedule is so easy it is ridiculous. It's cool to be ranked, but I'm not going to feel all that good about their legitimacy until after they play Oregon on the road in November. Cal at home the week before will be a good test, but Oregon is the only ranked road game on their schedule (unless UCLA makes it back into the top 25).

I'm glad the PAC10 has everybody play each other again due to the 12 game schedule.

odds don't mean jack when it comes to these sorts of things. Odds are about as unscientific as you can get....trusting people's opinions lol!

Auburn got pwned by South Florida at home and lost to Mississippi State at home. As the SEC goes, this is about as big a mismatch as can be.
