this should be another doozy.

[Derwood]

GUH, I'm stuck working during the PSU/OSU game, and there's pretty much no chance I can avoid the score (since the store will be full of OSU fans all day).

Aside from Oregon, who might win by 70, all the top 5 teams play a ranked team. Interesting.

[Tracer Bullet]

ND is the only one likely to lose though. Gonna find out quick how good this D really is.

[CubInOK]

Nothing from Andy about how ESPN College Gameday will be in Norman, OK this weekend?

I'm less worried about the defense than the offense. It'll take at least 3 offensive TDs to win.

[bcl412]

I think Texas Tech could give Kansas State a game and Georgia vs Florida is a rivalry, so who knows. I'm having a hard time not seeing Oklahoma blowing out Notre Dame though.

If the D scores a TD it doesn't count? We're not putting up 40 on OU no matter where they come from. So the only way we win is if the D keeps the score low and creates TOs.

Out of curiosity I checked the spread and it's at 45.5.

[TruffleShuffle]

lol indiana at illinois, what a terrible game.

[Butterscup1679666578]

oh my god we're going to lose to kentucky at home arent we

They might beat that at the end of the first quarter.

If it was in Lubbock I would pick Tech to at least cover the spread. Its going to be a good game but KState is going to run all over the Tech defense. Its going to be something like 48-28.

the Big 12 defenses are atrocious.

[shnsajax]

Kstate's and OU's defense are not that bad. I would even label them to be good.

[Sosa21MVP]

About time for Kevin Wilson to get his first B1G win, I say it happens this week.

[Smack]

[expletive] Minnesota

[Tracer Bullet]

This cracked me up

 

Prince Shembo on Blake Bell: "He's a big guy. 6-6, 260. I squat 600. So we're just going to go put our pads on and meet him in the hole."

ND may yet get crushed, but going in, I couldn't love any more that no pundit thinks the Sooners win by less than 2 TDs.

[Tracer Bullet]

I'm fully expecting a loss. Unless the DLine creates crazy pressure, Jones should be able to put together enough consecutive passes against our green corners to get more than enough points. I just love that our DLine is [expletive] nasty.

[shnsajax]

Honey Badger vs Maurice Clarett coming soon.

[Careless]

How hard is it to remember "don't allow the cops to search your apartment when your friend just came over with a pound of weed"?

Probably lies somewhere in between him being a [expletive] idiot and him being a [expletive] idiot

Marijuana laws in this country are ridiculous, no wonder our prisons are overcrowded and state goverments are broke. Edited October 26, 2012 by Theo
