I love Tulsa, Boise st, and Utah st...the others can go either way...I would have teased the Aggies up to +49.5...Texas doesn't seem to cover the spreads when they are heavily favored like that...I think Louisville will crush Ohio as they can't afford any slip ups...They will be scrutinized for playing a cupcake schedule and the AAC (former big east) isn't getting any respect at all so they can't afford to take the foot off the gas pedal like they did at times last year...but good luck bro!...

In all good conscious, I couldn't pick NMSU, Texas better show their ranking off against these scrubs. On the flip side, I never really like Lville and Ohio has a good team, capable of doing damage to teams not ready. Veteran QB and RB can definitely keep it within 4 TDs.

I hear ya bro but the big difference this year is expectations are high for the Cardinals as a preseason top ten team and they need to basically run the table to have any shot to play for the NC...which means, in a nutshell, they will more than likely have to leapfrog some teams ahead of them based on style points...We've seen it time and time again with voters...the teams that win impressively will get the benefit of the doubt against teams that barely squeak by!...

...Believe me, Mack Brown will take his foot off of the gas pedal once he gets a comfortable lead...it's always been his MO...I wouldn't be surprised to see a back door cover get you in this game because all it will take is one or two scores at most.

Ha I've lived through those back door covers, they are not fun. Hopefully they are pitching a shutout because then they will be more inclined to play harder D.
