Utah at USC could be a tough test for the Utes.

California at UCLA tonight will be a good game.

wisconsin at Illinois is a potential game of intrigue if the Illini can string together 4 good quarters.

And A&M and Ole Miss I think is the only game of two ranked teams.
 

memphis putting up some big offensive numbers in a friday night shootout at tulsa.

USC as a 4 point favorite over Utah blows my mind.

Why?

They have beaten a 4-2 Michigan team and an average Oregon team.

Iowa has been just as impressive to me.


Utah is very overrated in the minds of some. No doubt a top 15 team right now, but first place votes?
 

I'm no big Leidner fan, but the pick-6 just tossed by Armstrong has to be the biggest brain f*rt I've seen on the football field in quite a long time.

Michigan is better than anyone Iowa or USC has played. USC's best win is over Arizona St. who Utah also easily beat.
 

Al Golden may get fired at halftime. Clemson is now up 42-0 at Miami in the 2nd quarter.

Impossible -he needs 7-8 years to build the program, they are young and have injuries I am sure.

Comparing Minnesota to Miami is fair. Pretty much same recruiting landscape and program history.
 



What a job Pat Narduzzi is doing at Pitt. And ditto for former OSU offensive coordinator Tom Herman at Houston.

I'd be interested in hearing what Pitt fans think of Chryst. Are they winning this year because he is gone or did he set them up for the success this season?
 


Neb missed the 2 pt conversion, and now NW is controlling the clock. Neb going to drop another one at home.
 



This would be 3 home losses already this year, with their last 2 home games against Mich St and Iowa. Could lose 5 at home this year - when was the last time that happened to Neb?
 

This Illinois-Wisconsin game could be interesting. Wouldn't be shocked if WI loses.

Wow, that's a crazy stat. I still think Neb could win any of their remaining games, but their path to bowl eligibility got VERY dicey today.

Oh, and did anyone else see Gameday at James Madison toay? Fun fact: JMU head coach is Everett Withers.
 

Joel Stave shaken up. Looks like a possible concussion.
 

Arkansas Auburn in 4OT, interesting ending, haven't shown Bert much either lending to my tolerance of watching

The Fighting Buttheads pull off the win. Auburn was ranked #6 to start the season. SEC! SEC!

Yep, they have to win 3 of Purdue (away), Mich State, Rutgers (away), and Iowa to be bowl eligible. Purdue would seem quite likely, but based on what I've seen of Rutgers in recent weeks, I expect them to have a tough time winning there.
 



Michigan State, #7 in the country and undefeated, with at least 5000 empty seats in the upper deck. Just saying.

They had a huge downpour earlier in the game. My guess is that has something to do with it.
 

Kinda sums up the day for Miami. This was on a 4th down.

Indiana back within 1. Tennessee tied with Alabama 7-7 at the half.
 


Wisc seems to be in control right now, but this IU-MSU game is very interesting. I honestly hope MSU wins just to keep the B1G reputation up. It's best for the conf if they finish with only 1 loss (to OSU). But it's a fun game to watch...
