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

Florida 17 – Tennessee 9
(8) Texas (-31) at Rice
Texas 55 – Rice 6

38-4 Straight UP
32-10 Against the Spread
I turned away on the replay.
nope that's a broken leg....
that sucks....
I hope he is able to come back and play someday.
running back for usc. Powdell, something like that. #37
I know what you speak of, I'm a Saints fan. But there was one game I went to where they absolutely stunk up the joint and were chorused in boos as they left the field at halftime. There's a difference that most fans can recognize between lacking the talent yet still trying and just plain not caring. The former should be cheered for their effort, but the latter deserves scorn.
One of the worst I have seen. Laying there on the ground with his leg twisted out of the knee socket
Crap, I missed it, got to watching UF-Tenn! Who got hit?
As an Eagles fan, I've never witnessed anything like that.
(In case you're wondering, I couldn't even type that with a straight face.)
Half ass u Semi-holes showing that offensive might again.
That will NEVER happen.
Remember Tim Krumrie? It was like that. Awful.
Reggie 's parents (or hisself) may have some serious IRS problems.
preliminary reports said it was a dislocated ankle
TD UF
There you go, fixed it for you to properly show what a packer he is. Feebstreet hasn't admitted how wrong he was about Miami in the first week against FSU...I'd love to hear the dork explain about what happened to their superior D now.
Was it Joe Theismann level?
Huskers' punt is faked, or it's a broken play and it works like a fake, either way
Play fake, Ohh yeah.
A dislocated ankle would be good luck. It looked a lot worse than that to me.
I didn't see the hit on the SC back, but it sounds like I don't want to. I remember LT breaking Theismann's leg, and they replayed it over and over, not just on MNF, but on ESPN and all the news shows for days. Sorta like the hit Willis McGahee took against Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl. Just made me kind of nauseous.
