If I am seeing this correctly, North Texas is 0-10 O/U. Anybody know if a team has ever gone 0-12 or 12-0 O/U for a season? |

Obviously the east is better, but I think its not as big of a disparity as every says. Since the divisions split I believe the east holds a 37-33 overall record. Granted they have won all the big ten championships games but I think its closer than people think. Especially with Nebraska and Purdue presumably on the rise. Iowa came within 1 final play vs Penn st in knocking off the top 2 east teams last year. I also hit Wisconsin to win the Big ten west +195 at heritage. Hoping they dont cancel, Wisconsin lost a lot on D but if anyone thinks they wont have a solid to great defense again this year they havent paid attention to Wisconsin football over the past few years. There also really isnt many teams on their schedule that can really exploit an inexperienced secondary. |

RSW O 5.5 +100 seems tempting with 3 most likely wins. South Alabama, UT martin, Louisiana.... Just need to win 3 out of @cal, Vandy, Arkansas, @Kentucky, TAMU, @Mississippi st.
Talented QB and 4 OL starters return. Players insist not going to a bowl game is not affecting their motivation. Thoughts?

Schedule , Looks much tougher than last season Only 1 WR is back that caught more than 5 Balls last season... Sure The top 2 TE's are gone ... 7 DB's are gone that put up some excellent Numbers Some Big Losses on the D-Line = Taco etc ... 6 FADE WORTHY GAMES ????= * FLORIDA AT INDIANA Dont l;augh it's a brutal sandwich = vs STATE with at PENN ST on deck AT PENN ST Worried the Michigan will be far too green to stop The Nitanny Lions offense ... AT MARLYLAND Again dont laugh . 2 HUGE GAMES ARE ON DECK AT WISCONSIN Sooooo far off, but this looks like a tough spot OHIO ST Tempted to take Ohio St on the GOY lines -6.5 as there is a chance this line could be on the other side of Double Digits THOUGHTS ?????? Mostly agree with you on all of this DU but I actually love Michigan +7 in GOY line vs Penn st. I expect Michigan defense to be plenty experienced by midseason and think Don Brown is one of best DC in the game. Rashan Gary and Maurice Hurst are beasts and should be able to at least slow down Barkley. PSU will be in middle of tough 3 game stretch @NW, Michigan, then @OSU the following week, michigan is home vs Rutgers the following week. Im not as high on PSU as most so I think there is a good chance PSU has 1 loss and michigan comes in 6 - 0 and this game is well under 7 by game week.

Can definitely see that angle as they got beat last year, SHOULD be focused not to let it happen again as you mention.
LOL Lanning starting MLB is laughable for a power 5 school, never played the position before ---> straight to 1st team after a few spring practices. This isnt a transition from QB to TE we are talking about here. RED FLAG Offense should be really good but I myself am on ISU team total under 5.5. |

BA just something to think about in the UNI vs ISU game...UNI roster is usually filled with Iowa kids who wanted an ISU scholarship offer but it never came, so these guys get jacked up to play the cyclones and prove them wrong, so I disagree when you say UNI has nothing to prove.
ISU has big advantage in skill positions but matchup in the trenches is probably pretty equal. I will be staying far away from this game. |

I don't care about any of that... My top 25 reflects my thoughts on who I think the best 25 are based on what I know..... I Apologize for taking your post out of context. I respect your opinion so im still just trying to understand your rankings. SO PLEASE CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG: In your opinion Oregon is the 20th best team in the nation and florida is not rated (or possibly 25th) so that means you think, more times than not, Oregon would beat florida on a neutral field if they played week 1 at full strength, just based on everything you know about the 2 teams right now? (just using Oregon as an example because im curious why it seems ppl are so high on them) If this assumption is not correct, and these are not "AP style" or "who would beat who" or "how the season will end" but is just based on your "knowledge at hand" then I guess I do not understand your rankings but BOL this year |

If this is AP style and not power ratings and last years results have an impact on your rating like you mentioned about clemson, then could you explain your rationale for Oregon (4-8) and TCU (6-7) being top 20ish teams already in the preseason?
I think both those teams will be much improved, but why would they be ranked in an AP style poll ahead of team like Florida (9-4) in the preseason? Just curious on your thoughts there. |

Nevada RB James Butler announced hes transferring to Iowa. 3000 yard rusher in his career, pre-season all MWC. Big loss, however they are switching to air raid offense so maybe not as big as it could be. Either way I like northwestern in this spot, Nevada offense will take a while to adjust and Northwestern will have very good defense with lots of experience in secondary.
Fitz will take this game very seriously after losing to western michigan and illinois state in non-con last year. -24.5 at 5D right now

No play for me at +13. But I havent bought into the hype train for Josh Allen yet. Very talented? Yes. But seems to force things and rely on his talent too much at times which will be deadly vs good defenses, and IOWA will have a very good defense.
IOWA offense will not be anything special but should have one of the best run blocking Olines in the big ten with an explosive running back to control the clock. Wyoming had a bad run defense last year and lost their nose tackle and 2 LBs. Iowa Oline averages about 304lbs Wyoming DL averages about 265lbs. Close game going into 4th, can see Iowa wearing the cowboys down on the ground and covering with late TD. I will be looking very hard at the UNDER when its posted as well as 1H under. Iowa offense will be slow out of the gates with new OC with no play calling experience and minimal experience at WR = even more conservative than they normally are, if thats possible.

After three tough P5 OOC games and a probable home loss to up and coming Miami oh, they play @ Ohio and vs Toledo. I see a 1-1 split here, after starting 2-3. So they are 3-4 going into the L5 weeks of the season. I highly doubt they sweep the L5, and in fact, probably end up playing NIU the last week of the season for post season eligibility. 6-6 tops, but I actually see 5-7 for CMU. I max played this at the SP and hope 5D offers this line as well. Max this one out. It will cash with 3 games to go. NO WAY they win 8 games this year. CMU under 7. -125 5Dimes has released a bunch more teams today. CMU 6.5 -120 to the under.

They have lost 2 returning starters in the secondary this offseason to transfer and retirement/injury on an already terrible defense, Texas tech gonna light them up early in year, Brutal conference schedule. Todd Graham might get fired before season is over.

Appreciate all your work Doubleup, BOL this year.
any thoughts on Iowa +17 @ Wisconsin GOY line?
iowa should have very solid defense and running game with a ton back on the O-line. Ferentz has only lost to Wiscy by 17 or more 1 time since 2000, and is actually 4-3 SU in Madison as HC. Seems like too many points for a low scoring defensive battle on a cold november day. |

Iowa beat northwestern, a 10 win team, on the road 40 - 10. I'd also call that a blowout win
