MSU-ND is the game I will be watching this weekend.  I was very impressed with ND's passing game last weekend, and suspect that this may be a ND blowout.  Weiss could not possibly miss the motivator that ND does not want to be the team that lost to the team that lost to Central Michigan.

Expect Florida to try their best tomorrow to hit the 80 point mark with the score in The Swamp.  There will be more Volunteer corpses on the field not seen since Chickamauga.

I'd like that, but UT's defense is actually pretty decent. The other possible reason I don't see Urban trying to run up the score too much is that he is friends with Papa Kiffin, UT's defensive coordinator. Still, the line is 29, which is quite high for a SEC intra-conference play.

I think BaBy Kiffin has done enough this off-season for Urban to forget his friendship with Papa for a few hours.

Ohio State might go to a spread option like the one they did when Troy Smith was there. Which will either be highly productive or highly amusing.

Line for Arizona-Iowa is Iowa by 6. That is probably about right, especially since it looks like Rob Gronkowski will not be playing. In fact, the rumors are that he is not going to play at all this year. :(

I fully expect Tressel to decide the most conservative, and therefore best, thing to do is punt on 3rd downs now.  I wonder who got all of his enthusiasm and experimentation, that weird chubby Wyomingite coaching Texas Tech?

They have to do something, Pryor will never be a great quarterback, but if they open the offense up and let him run more aggressively and make more chances he can be an elite college player.

Frankly, I hope they don't. I'd rather see tOSU play Big Ten football and go 9-3 than start playing scrub school ball and go 11-1.

Minnesota's new stadium looks pretty nice.  It was also loud as hell earlier when they tied it up, etc, but not so much anymore.

Well then they need to stop getting personel who are shitty at Big Ten football and are ideal for scrub school ball like Pryor.

Aaaannd...Oregon, almost unbelievably, reaches new lows with this weeks uniform.  :bleeding:  It's like there's a guy in a room somewhere at Nike seeing just how far he can take things before someone tells him no.

These are pretty bad.  Nice punt return though.

Bleh.  Huskers and Hokies game is blacked out or something.  I had it all planned out too.  Florida - Tennessee and Nebraska - VaTech on the main TV using some new thing DirecTV did to my DVR (some sort of last channel thing that lets you pause and rewind and such both channels, etc), then Oregon - Utah, Arizona - Iowa, and Washington - USC on ESPN360.

But no.  ITS ALL RUINED NOW

Edit:  Whoa they just took the "blacked out" tag off of it, switched from SC - UW, and it's on.  I should bitch about such things more often.  I wonder why they suddenly decided to start showing the game ~10 minutes into the first quarter.
