I like the underdogs here today.
Fresno State is down about losing their BCS bid. Utah State has found its way after losing Chuckie Keeton and were able to salvage their season. Motivation is a big deal here, which is why I like Utah State. Fresno State will come out flat.
Texas/Baylor UNDER. The field conditions will be bad and it will be cold. Wet field, freezing field, which means the ball will be on the ground a lot today. It will also slow down Baylor's offense. Baylor has been exposed the last two weeks and should have lost to TCU last week. Texas gets up for these games, and will have a good game plan. They have the defensive line to slow Baylor's running game and the secondary to cover their receivers. Depends on how Texas's offense does. They need to run the ball, and expose Baylor's weak secondary. Oklahoma State and TCU were both able to pick on the Baylor DBs. Texas has the deep threats to do so. Which is why I think Texas can stay within 16.5. Weather plays too much of a factor.
South Florida +6. Rutgers has given up on the season, and has quit. They won't care today. Meanwhile USF is trying to build for next year and has a little bit of momentum. In the battle of teams going in opposite directions, I like USF.
