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

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
And then they turn around and give up a 60 yard kickoff return....
If the return guy hadn't slowed up, he might have gotten 20 more.
maybe....
I think they kinda didn't expect him to return it on the right. I only counted 3 Buckeyes against 8 cincy guys on that side.
And that drive resulted in nothing lol. Is Cincy's offense that bad, or is the OSU D that good?
Touchdown OSU, Ted Ginn.
the OSU D is that good.
Cincy doesn't have a bad QB or offense, I'm just glad OSU is getting them this year and not next year.
well the offense has looked so horrible in the 1st half, Tressel might keep his starters in longer.
The MSU-Pitt game is tied up if they hit the PAT
Apparently the Clemson kicking staff worked with the BC kickers this week..
BC has missed 2 PATs
Ohio State 20 - Cincy 7
BC 20 - BYU 13 (going for 2 was the right call there since they've missed 2 PATs)
Iowa 17 Iowa St. 17 with Iowa driving
Michigan St 17 - Pitt 10
UGA 10 - UAB 0
UPSET ALERT:
Early on in the 4th quarter
Boston College 20
BYU 20
Looks like its Iowas game to lose now, once again ISU cant seem to maintain control of a game for four quarters.
yeah
BC is having a dogfight on it's hands with BYU
Looks like its gonna be a bad day for the pick em game....nobody is covering the spread....uunngghhhhh.
Well...maybe Ohio State can score again...
Need some late scores to help out here.
Makes sense. I decided to not play against the spread this week, so of course spread busters will happen!
And with that FG, Ohio State covers the late spread (-29.5)
Upset Alert
BC 23
BYU 23
About a minute to go in the 4th...looks like OT
yeah...
I didn't pick BC anyway :)
Damned Iowa....that's 2 weeks in a row, but I should've adjusted last week's pick if I'd known about Tate beforehand.
Looks like OT between BYU and BC
