Week Seven brought another major upset in the Big Ten and the SEC. Iowa lost to Indiana; Vanderbilt beat Georgia snapping a 53 game losing streak to ranked teams. While this season has been kind of odd in that here have not been very many major upsets, the past two weeks have provided their fair share. The Auburn – Florida game lived up to the hype and went down to the last minute with Auburn winning the game. It was not without controversy either, which is another long running story this year. This week features two games that should get top billing. Texas travels to face Nebraska while Clemson hosts Georgia Tech in a battle for ACC supremacy.

(12) Clemson (-7.5) at (13) Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech has the best defense in the ACC. They shut down Notre Dame and have been dominant in each of their other games. Clemson has a chance to really take control of the ACC with a win. Clemson will win this game, but it will be closer than a Touchdown.

Texas A&M comes in after a big win for them against Missouri. The line indicates that people aren’t buying it quite yet. I’m a believer.

Record for the year
I'll skip the sob story and just say that if I pick a game one way, you have a better than even chance of being right if you pick it the other way.
117-28 Straight UP
77-64-4 Against the Spread
What dumbasses.
That's okay, North Carolina visits Notre Dame in two weeks. It will drive Notre Dame's strength-of-schedule numbers down.
I have a feeling the alumni and admins will make it clear to him that something's gotta change, starting with his son. It does make you realize how much "Saint" Bobby relied on all those assistants who're now head coaches at other schools. Was it him, or the assistants, who made FSU a powerhouse for all those years?
Hart is one helluva player. Here's hoping he decided to go pro early...
LOL...but where's the vest?
Better ND then USC anytime.
:-)
That was the question with JoePa after D-coordinator Jerry Sandusky left...it took them five years to get back to prominence.
LOL
I agree with you there :)
My photoshop skills aren't that advanced :)
nah I think he's gotten some leeway because of this season.
Anything on SC vs. Vandy?
I see Troy Smith and the Buckeyes going in cruise control to the Orange Bowl, unless major injuries or behavior issues occur, they are as good as being "in".
You haven't watched that team "up North" yet this year then.
Sorry......that one's going to be a barn burner.
ESPN was trying to hype the PAC 10 as the best conference in college football. BS.
The team going down to Columbus this year isn't anything like last year's - except for the names on the jerseys!
Gamecocks 31
Commodores 13
Go COCKS!!
Steve Spurrier is still undefeated against Vandy.
The Hogs are well coached and have a great running game and defense so they are dangerous. But they are still young and maybe playing a little over their heads. I hope not but they have impressed the hell out of me so far so there is room for optimism.
They should be getting close to the top ten with a win today.
WEll....everyone says things they understand later to be silly.....that includes commentators.....
Did you see the FSU/BC game? I got only to see a little bit of it and I could not believe this is the same team ( FSU ) that was in the Orange Bowl nearly a year ago. Man, what has happened to that team? Good grief, is age catching up with the coach?
or here
SCROLL down a bit you will find smith on there somewhere... LOL!
