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

Glad you made it over :)
hey I have a thread each and every week for college football...
Would you like on the list?
Damn scrued up my own post,should be RESTORE THE ORDER!
Yep, Pick me Up.
I can't believe I missed the Canes getting a beating.
What happened to UF? Any chance they took a hammering.
Oops, gotta run. Missed FSU kickoff.
GO NOLES!
You can't change the score after the fact, but for me, satisfaction would be to place the entire referee crew on midfield at halftime of the screwed team's next homegame, then the PA announcer tells the crowd who they are, and then says that there will be no cops or stadium security for the next 15 minutes as said cops and stadium guys walk off the field. Use your imagination...
Looks like Colorado is in for another beating.
No, "everyone" doesn't do it. I don't, with one major exception - The Univ of Texas Longwhorns. I've not said anything to you at all about your team, so quit picking on me about mine.
Am I the only person who thinks that Lee Corso looks exactly like Mel Brooks?
I thought he was Mel Brooks.
My goodness, Corso is interviewing the USC horse. Gameday has sunken to a new low now that ABC is calling the shots.
You mean he's not, Damn.
See he is Mel Brooks, I swear.
Um. WTF? FSU used 3 timeouts in the first 6 minutes of the game?
Man Is USC having problems or what?
Some controversy today....
Right now we have Florida at Tennessee on CBS and Nebraska at USC on ABC.
FSU is playing Clemson on ESPN and Texas is dismantling Rice on ESPN2
He does look like Mel Brooks, but Mel was never so pathetic...
Growing up in the hood with a name like that, I think he is capable of killing someone in two seconds.
Fine then, I'll just ignore you if you can't take a joke.
UF is later
