    This Week's Big Games
    Since the Ga. Tech-Miami game has been moved to Saturday, there really is nothing much to the weeknight schedule.
    Speaking of which, that game should start to clear up the ACC Coastal Division picture. The winner will be one of two probable undefeated teams left in the Coastal, and I do not thing Virginia (the other team) is a serious contender just yet. Tech's D has allowed only 24 points in two easy home wins against ACC also-rans. Miami just knocked off a poor Florida State team, is 4-0 ATS at home in this series.

    Oklahoma vs Texas...OU hit rock bottom in the 2nd half of their home game against Iowa State, blowing a 24-10 halftime lead and losing to a .500 team. Texas is a better team than their opening week loss to Maryland at home would indicate. Neither team has an outstanding defense, so this one could be a wild high scoring affair.

    Utah @ USC. Both teams have one loss and that was a conference loss against a Pac 12 North team. Utah is 4-0-1 ATS this season, while USC is 1-5 ATS. Their only ATS win came against Stanford, the team that just defeated Utah. The winner of this game gets a huge leg up in the Pac 12 South race.

    Auburn @ LSU. Game 1 of a 3 game road trip for Auburn. Their only loss was a 8 point defeat at Clemson. LSU needed a botched field goal to defeat Florida yesterday. They do not fare real well against Auburns brand of Tiger, going 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

    Another sort of underwhelming weekend it looks like. I feel like there's been less exciting matchups this year compared to previous years and I know it will pick up. But I blame the sec

      I think that you are getting a lot more garbage games this year than last year. The numerous idiots that run CBS and ESPN also ruin things. CBS has stupidly decided that the Big 10 will get two teams into the BCS Playff even though one of these teams (Ohio State) lost at home to a team that defeated them by 15 points. That same team, (Oklahoma) then lost to a middle of the road Iowa State team at home by 7 after having a 24-10 lead. SEC and Big 10 bias is giving a false picture of the truth. Vegas loves it because the meat falls for this constantly. Just look at how poorly the average guy does in here. It is funny how quickly CBS forgets just how crappy the Big 10 did in the last Bowl Season. The truth is that EITHER Washington team could beat any Big 10 team on a neutral site.

          Okay, the College Football Playoff. Happy now? Now Chitown, are you going to try and defend the awful Big 10, or are you just trying to be a smart arse?

            Neither. I agree with most of your points. Just trying to help you become a better version of yourself

              Thanks, but in all honesty, NO ONE in here is a better version of myself including myself. Now back to the games. This will be the first week since November of 2009 that there is no games between two ranked (Top 25) teams. That is how bad the rankings are getting. The scheduling is pure caca.
