Lots of good games this weekend. There were several that would normally be the game of the week, but none of them outshine what should be a classic SEC slugfest between LSU and Auburn.

"... none of them outshine what should be a classic SEC slugfest between LSU and Auburn."

Agreed. I have been on the edge of my seat all week long. Having seen LSU play this year, I have respect for their skills. I think this will be a low-scoring game that is decided by 7 points or less.

War Eagle!!

I think the Tech/TCU game gets an upset alert as well.

Tech is favored by a point and it really won't be an upset if either of them win really....

Both teams are really even if you ask me...

I would like to see the year end rankings remain the same to start the following year. In other words a team has to win its way to the top and not get ranked based on hype. COnference records get wiped clean, of course, but the top 20 should remain.

Pre season polls and hype generates controversy and interest though.

Miami is not really an upset alert(ignore the spread)...didn't Louisville lose a big playmaker RB?

I hope FSU wakes up and rushes for a first down or two.

yeah...but pretty much the top 5 or 6 would be the same right now anyway...

I personally don't think there should be a poll until after week 3...just because the poll that comes out this next week will reflect at least 2 games for every team in the top 25......

yeah but they have a veteran QB (if he played for Miami, they would be in the National Title hunt) and their backup wasn't as horrible as I expected (he has a future in the NFL as well).

It's an upset by spread and by ranking.

I was just going by the numbers, s'all.

As a side note, I see that Notre Dame and TCU are on the Air Force schedule in the coming weeks. I'm gonna pick at least one of those to be an upset.

The triple-option gave Tennessee ALL it could handle. OH joy! College Football!

LOL

That's why I couldn't pick Tennessee over Florida.

Florida runs the read option offense.

Last week was like playing a high school team. 2nd and 3rd strings went in early. Everybody in uniform got to play. Md should give some indication of the Mountaineers ability. Well, for a quarter at least. OT D.Crissey will be out 6-7 weeks with ankle injury from week one.




Go Mountaineers

yeah...

I'd like to see what West Virginia's run game will do against a legit BCS team, but Maryland isn't quite on their level.

And another thing...did you see that 5'11" guy, Ian Johnson, just shred Oregon State?

I don't know if Boise State is that good, or Oregon St. is that bad....anyhow, it's too bad that Boise doesn't have any of the 'big boys' on their schedule. Will have to wait till bowls to see.

Ohio St. and Texas really have it tough this weekend. Next week they plan to both play SE North Dakota St.Mining and Beauty University, the Mighty Lignite Curlers.

I think Slaton and Schmitt are the real deal. Loss of Crissey could be a factor though. A big boy who cleared holes. One thing about Slaton bothers me. When he stops to cut back, his legs get into some odd positions. Would not be surprised if a knee problem arose.

Mike, put me on the ping list please?
