For me it's Notre Dame/Army. I don't know if anybody read the thread I posted about the story of the four horseman it's a great piece of college fb history. It happened 100 years ago when ND played Army in New York City. This is the anniversary and fittingly it's being played in NYC. This is Army's best team in a long time they're undefeated and ranked. But they haven't played anyone and the Irish will roll tomorrow night.

Indiana/Ohio State. Can Indiana really be this good. No buckeyes all the way.

Virginia Tech/Duke. VT is favored but I'm pulling for Maalik Murphy.

Texas Tech/Oklahoma State. When 2 bad defenses play expect a lot of points to be scored. OSU is favored but I hear Gundy is on the way out.

BYU/Arizona it was great while it lasted but BYU lost last week and should lose to Arizona State tomorrow.

What do you got for me this week @westx?

Definitely not a good one but Purdue vs Mich St is on right now. Hudson Card sure can throw a pretty ball. Hopefully he develops the rest of his game to match the arm.
 
Oh I forgot my upset of the week. They've had a week to recover and make the necessary adjustments.

Tomorrow night the Charlie Brown traveling all-stars take their road show to the Louisiana bayou. And the mighty Vanderbilt commodores will take down and give the LSU tigers their 4th straight loss.

Saturday night in tiger stadium my ass.
 
Not a bad weekend of football. Games could be interesting

IU at tOSU -10.5: tough call. I kind of want to call an upset. I'll take IU and the points.

Ole Miss beats FL

ASU beats BYU

Aggies at Aub: Hesitantly taking a&m. Should be a very low scoring game which means it anybody's to win

Bama (-14) at ou: Bama wins but, I don't think they will cover.

Vandy at LSU (-7.5): LSU in a free fall. I'll take Pavia and Vandy.

I hope Florida beats Mississippi

Game’s over and predictably, Purdue lost…. BUT, Hudson is a freaking baller. He was making clutch throws under pressure and looked really good. You can’t blame him for all of the freaking dropped passes…. So many dropped passes. If they didn’t have half of them they’d have probably pulled it out.

Yup, he just wasn't ready to be THE guy here just yet.

I like Texas to cover..Kentucky might come out with a little fight with their defense but I don’t think their offense can move the ball. 38-10ish??

I think Florida can hang with Ole Miss with Lagway. I don’t know if they win but I think they can keep it close.

I would think LSU should be able to beat Vandy by a couple of TDs but they can’t stop a running QB to save their lives. I’m going to take LSU 7 today, but very low wager.

A&M scares the shit out of me. Auburn at night and their numbers don’t make since. They have a back that averages 7 yards a carry and a defense that is 13th In stopping the run and their offense is like 36th in the country yet they have 1 SEC win. I know their QB has crapped games away for them and turnovers have killed them. He will probably have the game of his life. It just feels very South Carolina ish and Auburn seems to find a game at night to beat someone every freaking year so probably congrats to us for being that game!

I like Ohio St to cover

I’m not touching the Bama/OU game but Bama looks like they have found their stride late as always.

Also liking Minnesota to stay close here.

I hope Kansas beats Colorado and that punk of a team Colorado.
 
While the B10 is slow and boring... the late November games in the cold and snow are must watch TV. The Minnesota vs Penn State and Indiana vs tOSU will be on my football matrix of TV's.

Holy sh*t. Fox's Big Noon Kickoff just put an awesome trailer for the IU vs tOSU. They showed the Gene Hackman pregame speech in Hoosiers right before that championship game. In the background, they were playing "Dream On" by Aerosmith. That was preetty damn good.

OU is just butt fvcking Bama.

It's been a horrible season for OU, but how many teams could post a winning record after losing their #1, #2, #3, #4 and #5 wide receivers, together with multiple offensive linemen to injuries. This wasn't some last second, fluke win. OU physically manhandled Alabama, holding them to just 3 points and 234 total yards.
