Like the card, but I'm all over Vandy this week. Vandy will be up for this one and their defense is solid. Auburn's offense is inept to say the least. I believe Lee Corso and the gang will be there on Saturday. Don't think that's every happened at Vandy! lol

Good Luck as always!!!
 
 
Nice call on Alabama last week bro , you save me some money on that game. I was leaning toward georgia but took the Over instead.. Had a horrible week last week but looking ahead now..
 
Thanks again BOL to you 
 
Lets get back on track Nost. I feel your pain last week..
BOL everyone
 
FREAK OUT!!!

Hey Nos, The word is that Crompton may be benched this week.
I think this will bold well for the offense and could inject some life into this team.  Living in Nashville, all the talk is about Gameday coming this week. This is a first for vandy. There will be a lot of hype and buzz around the city. After the game starts I do not think vandy will be able to move the ball very well and will be there own worst enemy. I like Auburn in this spot.

all - good input and BOL
 
grffy97 - will pass on that one
byang - on Toledo and will keep it if Collins can go
davidpayne - tried that, we'll see what happens
dwaustin14 - lean UF, nothing on the others
 
Oklahoma 52 Baylor 13 - possible look ahead to Texas for the Sooners here although with the loss last year at Colorado in same spot and similar number, OU might want to stay somewhat focused. Bears lack the defense to contain Bradford or the deep running game and talented frosh QB Griffin probably lacks the experience as a passer to keep up, talented OU backups help keep the back door closed. Rout.
 
Tennessee 37 No Illinois 10 - Huskies struggle against top defenses and unlikely to do much against this defense. Whether Vols start Crompton or Stephens, they would be best to establish the run and pound away with stable of RBs against NIU DL 260 lbs avg that will not hold up against that kind of pressure. Believe Tenn may be more focused than possible look ahead to UGA game due to needing any win and to play better. If Vols attempt to pass too much or QBs make mistakes, Huskies could hang around 10-14 and cover, otherwise Vols control this one.
 
Auburn 20 Vandy 6 - do I think Vandy is ready to take that next major step up the SEC food chain...not really. Tigers should be able to run some against a team they dominated in the trenches last year and that gave up 200+ yds rushing at Ole Miss. Feels like a good time for the Vandy run to end going against a team that may be just too physical for them. Similar to Vols, the Tigers need to focus on the run and pass as a second option to be successful. Dores unlikely to break 200 yds against this defense although if they can avoid turnovers they could well hang in there similar to Miss St (3-2) although don't consider Vandy front 7 as tough as Miss St.
 
remaining scores tomorrow

Miami OH 23 Temple 9 - Owls have struggled to score points with backup QBs last year (23-7 and 16-3) and against WMU this year, although defense may keep them in this one for awhile. Redhawks should be hungry for win against someone other than Charleston So and possible revenge motive for last years 24-17 loss in Philly.
 
Fresno St 45 Hawaii 17 - Bulldogs should be able to pile up the rushing yards in this one and looking for double revenge including a 68-37 loss on this field in 2006 that will have them looking to extend the margin if given the opportunity.
 
TCU 45 SD St 13 - horned toads have piled up the yardage and FDs the last several in this series including 39 and 30 first downs and over 600 yds in the last couple years (although did not cover 12.5 last year...unless got the early line at 11). RS frosh Lindley had good results against Idaho....enter a 'slightly' better TCU defense and road game.
 
Ga Tech 38 Duke 17 - not quite drinking the Duke kool aid yet although Cutcliffe is doing good work there. GT has owned series lately and Blue Devils didn't exactly contain similar Navy attack in the 1st half in Durham (24 pts) until Kaipo went down. If Nesbitt is able to play, it will be a good bonus although the backup Shaw is decent if needed.
 
remaining scores
 
So Florida 27 Pitt 20
Toledo 30 Ball St 28
UCLA 38 Wash St 13
 
looking at a few totals later this week

I'm probably going to be against you on Oklahoma (fade both OU and TX before RRS). 

Do you have any thoughts on the OSU-Wiscy game?  I lean hard to OSU with Pryor at QB now.

I concur with Ga Tech and Miami (Oh)...Temple QB will struggle on road, this jumped out at me at first glance. 
 
I am leaning Miami -2.5 over FSU too

Hi -- new to the site, but not to the NCAA -- I'd take NIU and the points against Fulmer's Follies, layoff Aub-Vandy, and likely take Kentucky against a drained Bama bunch -- better games, though, seem to be FIU -7 @ N. Texas, Texas Tech -7 @ Kansas State, USC -16 vs Oregon (Whose the QB ??), Miami (O) -8 vs Temple, and Nevada -23 @ Idaho  -- oh, by the way, I am 21-6 for the first 5 weeks -- Look out for bowl buster Tulsa also. Good luck to y'all

I hate to go against Nos but the Blue Devils will cover this spread and GTech may be in for a surprise. There is no way that Gtech will beat the Blue Devils by 14. The ACC I know. Take my advice and take the Blue Devils.
