Well, missed both of the last two Saturdays while on a road trip, but ready to dig back in this weekend! Damn, I missed a lot of good action though.



Thursday, Oct 26, 2017 - NCAA Football Game
7:00 PM 103 Toledo -26
104 Ball State 26

7:00 PM 107 Eastern Michigan 8
108 Northern Illinois -8

7:30 PM 105 South Alabama -2
106 Georgia State 2

9:00 PM 109 Stanford -21½
110 Oregon State +21½



Friday, Oct 27, 2017 - NCAA Football Game
8:00 PM 111 Florida State -3
112 Boston College 3

(BC has been on fire their last two games, edging Louisville in a shootout then curb stomping UVA. Can FSU really drop to 2-5?)

8:00 PM 113 Tulane +10½
114 Memphis -10½

(Tulane looks to have improved in Fritz' second year. They lost by 2 at Navy and by 6 vs USF, while Memphis looks to try and finish 11-1 and win their division and set up either a rematch with UCF or a showdown with USF with a BCS bowl berth likely on the line)

9:00 PM 115 Tulsa 10
116 SMU -10



Saturday, Oct 28, 2017 - NCAA Football Game
12:00 PM 129 Miami Florida -20½
130 North Carolina +20½

12:00 PM 131 Rutgers +23½
132 Michigan -23½

12:00 PM 143 Oklahoma State -7½
144 West Virginia +7½

(The Mountaineers look to keep their B12 title hopes alive, facing 3 ranked teams in their last 5 games. Despite a pretty 5-2 record (with both losses coming by only a touchdown), WVU's only beaten one decent team all year. OK State survived Texas last week in a mysteriously low scoring game)

12:00 PM 151 Wisconsin -26
152 Illinois 26
(Wisconsin has the most bull**** resume of all time, unclear to me why they are ranked behind Miami, much less UCF)

12:00 PM 191 Texas -10½
192 Baylor +10½

12:20 PM 127 Louisville -3
128 Wake Forest 3

12:30 PM 137 Virginia 3
138 Pittsburgh -3

2:00 PM 171 California +3½
172 Colorado -3½

(Cal beat Wazzu 37-3, Wazzu beat Colorado 28-0, so Cal wins by 62?)

2:30 PM 133 Florida International 17
134 Marshall -17

3:00 PM 153 Kansas State -23½
154 Kansas +23½

3:00 PM 161 San Jose State +13½
162 BYU -13½

3:00 PM 167 Air Force +11½
168 Colorado State -11½

3:30 PM 135 Appalachian State -3½
136 Massachusetts +3½

3:30 PM 145 Indiana -5
146 Maryland 5

3:30 PM 175 Louisiana Tech -13
176 Rice 13

3:30 PM 179 NC State +7½
180 Notre Dame -7½

(Including their dominant win over USC, ND finishes with 4 ranked teams in their last 6 games. Both teams still quietly harbor title hopes, and a win here should give the victor pole position, while the loser will likely be out)

3:30 PM 181 UCLA +17½
182 Washington -17½

(Somehow we are in Week 9, and a win over UCLA would be Washington's best of the season? Woof. See: Wisconsin)

3:30 PM 183 Georgia Southern +25½
184 Troy -25½

3:30 PM 185 Michigan State pk
186 Northwestern pk

(Sparty has eked out four consecutive one-score victories over B1G opponents, and gets one final tuneup (which Vegas is grading as a coin flip) before back to back games against Penn State and OSU)

3:30 PM 193 TCU -6
194 Iowa State 6

(TCU brings its playoff hopes to Ames, where Iowa State is ranked for the first time in 12 years. Worth noting that TCU held Kansas to TWENTY ONE TOTAL YARDS last week. I know it's Kansas, but still...)

3:30 PM 195 Georgia -14½
196 Florida +14½

(They call it the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, likely because watching Florida play offense sober has been known to induce seizures)

3:30 PM 205 Penn State +5½
206 Ohio State -5½

(A de-facto sweet-16 game, with the victor likely advancing to the B1G title game for a chance to play-in for the Final 4, though Ohio State risks missing the playoffs if they win here and then lose another before the CG)

3:45 PM 215 Houston +10½
216 South Florida -10½

(USF's eighth game, and by far their biggest test to date. See: Wisconsin, Washington)

4:00 PM 121 Vanderbilt 7
122 South Carolina -7

4:30 PM 197 Florida Atlantic -6½
198 Western Kentucky +6½

5:00 PM 165 UL Monroe +2½
166 Idaho -2½ -120

5:45 PM 177 Utah -3½
178 Oregon +3½

6:00 PM 149 Texas State 10
150 Coastal Carolina -10

6:30 PM 141 Missouri -11½
142 Connecticut +11½

6:30 PM 155 Minnesota 8
156 Iowa -8

6:30 PM 189 Old Dominion 12
190 North Texas -12

7:00 PM 169 UAB 14
170 Southern Miss -14

7:15 PM 207 Mississippi State pk
208 Texas A&M pk

(Six of A&M's Seven games have been decided by 10 points or fewer, inexplicably including both Nicholls State and Alabama. Cowbell fell off the radar after losing back to back tough road games by a combined 80-13 margin, but recovered quietly with blowout wins over BYU and Kentucky the last two weeks)

7:20 PM 147 Duke 17
148 Virginia Tech -17

7:30 PM 117 Nebraska +5½
118 Purdue -5½

7:30 PM 119 Tennessee +4½
120 Kentucky -4½

7:30 PM 157 New Mexico 3
158 Wyoming -3 100

8:00 PM 159 Arkansas State -5½
160 New Mexico State +5½

8:00 PM 163 UTSA -16
164 UTEP 16

8:00 PM 201 Texas Tech 18
202 Oklahoma -18

(Oklahoma's last four games have been decided by 1 score, and Texas Tech's wins over Arizona State looks pretty good in the rear view mirror)

9:00 PM 199 Washington State -2½
200 Arizona +2½

(Wazzu still boasts faint playoff hopes, but Kahlil Tate is the main reason to tune in here. Since taking over three games ago, Tate has run 46 times for 694 yards (15.1 ypc) and completed 31/41 passes for 468 yards (11.4 ypa) and four TDs with only one pick)

10:00 PM 209 Boise State -8
210 Utah State 8

10:00 PM 211 UNLV 18
212 Fresno State -18

10:45 PM 173 USC -3
174 Arizona State 3

12:00 AM 213 San Diego State -9
214 Hawaii 9

2007, -2.5, and they lost 50-52.

Last time before that was 1979, when they were favored by 2 and lost 17-20.

Oh yeah, I was at that game, forgot we were favored. One stupid blocked FG away from rushing the field. That was the year UK beat #1 LSU who ended up winning it all. But naturally we still lose to Tennessee in crazy fashion. I still think there is a legit chance Georgia would have won it all if UK had won.

As an East Coast viewer with things to do in the evening next Saturday, allow me to say: FINALLY

Which is ironic cause it's on CBS

In other news, Florida players are talking **** to Georgia. Completely ridiculous to the point that I'm doubting they're watching their own film, especially cause this was an offensive player. I would be embarrassed to be on the team at this point
