College Football - Live Thread - Week Three
ESPN.com Scoreboard ^ | Thursday September 14th to Saturday September 16th 2006

Posted on 09/13/2006 5:43:31 PM PDT by MikefromOhio

Week Three – College Football

Week Two gave everyone the earliest #1 vs. #2 showdown in modern college football history. The game, however, turned out to not really live up to the hype. This week we are treated to SEVERAL big games, some of which are in conference in the SEC, and a historically significant rivalry renews in South Bend.

As always, all rankings are from the ESPN.com Scoreboard page. I will also list any games of interest (FReepmail me if you want your team included and I will include them from here on out) and any other games listed in my Yahoo league.

GAME of the WEEK

Saturday, September 16th, 2006 – 3:30 PM on CBS

(6) LSU at (3) Auburn (-3.5)

This is going to be a fun game to watch I think. We have Auburn which has been the odds-on favorite to win the SEC this year against a very good and very fast LSU team that is looking to spoil the Auburn season AND put itself into the national spotlight. Both teams feature strong defenses, good running games and good coaching. Fewest mistakes wins this game. I’m going with the home team.

Auburn 16 – LSU 13

Thursday September 14th, 2006 (ESPN Thursday Night Game)

Maryland at (5) West Virginia (-17)

West Virginia gets one of their rivalry games out of the way early. This should be a decent test for a team that hasn’t beaten a BCS School yet.

It’s not in the pick’em league, but I’ll give a pick anyway.

WVU 42 – Maryland 13

Saturday September 16th 2006 (in ranking order)

Cincinnati at (1) Ohio State (-30)

Ohio State 45 – Cincinnati 7

(11) Michigan at (2) Notre Dame (-6)

Notre Dame 27 – Michigan 20

(19) Nebraska at (4) USC (-19)

USC 42 – Nebraska 20

(7) Florida (-3.5) at (13) Tennessee

Florida 17 – Tennessee 9

(8) Texas (-31) at Rice

Texas 55 – Rice 6

Clemson at (9) Florida State (-4.5)

FSU 24 – Clemson 16

UAB at (10) UGA (-17)

UGA 35 – UAB 10

(17) Miami at (12) Louisville (-4.5)

Miami 22 – Louisville 20****UPSET ALERT

Duke at (14) Virginia Tech (-35)

VT 45 – Duke 3

(15) Oklahoma at (18) Oregon (-4.5)

Oregon 28 – Oklahoma 20

Iowa State at (16) Iowa (-13.5)

Iowa 32 – Iowa St. 10

(24) Texas Tech (-1) at (20) TCU

Texas Tech 45 – TCU 39

Portland St. at (21) California (NL)

Cal 58 – Portland St. 10

(22) Arizona St. (-10) at Colorado

ASU 38 – Colorado 7

BYU at (23) Boston College(-7)

BC 21 – BYU 19 ****UPSET ALERT

Youngstown St. at (25) Penn State (NL)

Penn State 52 – Y’Town St 6

38-4 Straight UP
32-10 Against the Spread

I had to call my daughter, when the kicker they brought in (can't recall his name, but he had a phenomenal game) was called an "old man" by the pundits. He's 27, and my daughter and son in law are 27 and 28 respectively. We got a laugh out of that one!

This has to be one of the greatest days in college football history, as far as good, watchable games goes. I like them to be close, as long as it's not my Buckeyes! Hope these matchups don't disappoint.

Grass didn't slow down that WIDE OPEN receiver... but it did mess up the extra point.

LOL

ND still has brain farts in the defensive secondary, and like a good network NBC had just barely finished lauding how they are communicated better in the ND defensive backfield LOL

ND is an error-fest and Michigan is playing hard. I'm glad Ohio State got its act together to pound on Cincy late. You're right, they do always play them hard.

Henne is lighting up the ND Defense. It's looking bad for the Irish.
