*I fucked up. I went down the top 25, got to OU and saw their next game was at Baylor. It is. But on Nov. 13. This is a bye week for them. I’ve corrected the post. Baylor plays at TCU but I’m done with this now and am not predicting the line on that one. Apologize for any inconvenience.
#1 Georgia-Missouri. UGA-30.
#2 Cincinnati-Tulsa. I really have no idea and no interest researching it. No prediction.
#3 Alabama-LSU. Bama-17.
Purdue-#5 Michigan State. MSU-7.
Nebraska-#6 Ohio State. "Bucks"-13.
Washington-#7 Oregon. Wershington 4-4 (3-2). "Poodles" have a horrific loss: Montana in Seattle in the first game. Beat "Trees" in Forest last week. Nike lost in OT to "Trees" in Forest Oct. 2. Other commons: "Ducks" beat Cal in Eugene Oct. 15 24-17, "Poodles" beat them in Seattle Sept 25 31-24 in OT. O beat UCLA 34-31 in LALA Oct. 23, WA lost to them at home 24-17 Oct. 16; WA beat Arizona in Tempe 21-16 Oct. 22, O beat them by 22 in Eugene Sept. 25. "Trees" and "Sissy Blues" the two contrasting commons. These two teams are rivals and the game is in Husky Stadium. I think Vegas will set this price at O-6.
#8 Notre Dame-Navy. Navy's pretty bad 2-6 (2-4) in a bad conference. ND good in a bad conference. ND-15.
#9 Michigan-Indiana."Wolves" fall all the way to ninth, huh? That's bullshit. MI-15.
UNC-#10 Woke Forest. Imo here's where the "Demons" get exorcised. Think the Mack Browns gonna beat 'em. Neither here nor there right now, what will the 'ouse think? I can't see them making Woke a favorite, I can't. "Apple Chills"-1.
WVU-#11 Okie State. Big win by 'Eers last week in Couch Burn! WVU 4-4 (2-3) with some bad games, loss to MD there, loss to TT at home. Big common: "Cyclops." "Cyclops" beat "Boones" in Ames 24-21 in Ames Oct. 23 then went to Couch Burn and got snuffed out 38-31. Only other common Baylor. 'Eers got cornholed in Wacko 45-20 Oct. 9; "Boones" beat 'em in Stillwater 24-14 Oct. 2. Think this one will be close, think Vegas will think this one will be close. "Boones"-3.
Hoo doggie Big 'un in the Slave States Conference! #13 Texas A&M hosts #12 Auburn. "Aztecs" got off to an embarrassing start, beating the "Raping Buffaloes" only 10-7 in Boulder, then losing to ARK there 20-10 and then to MS State in College Station! They've won three in a row, HUGELY at home over Bama, then at Mizzou and home over South Carolina-Must-Be-Destroyed. "War Eagle Plainsmen" 6-2 (3-1) have played in some big games, losing close at PSU before James Franklin's breakdown, winning at LSU before Ed Orgeron's firing, got killed at home by UGA, bet ARK by 15 in Fayette, beat the Lane Train last week on the Plains. Brutal schedule. I think A&M's comin', I think Vegas thinks A&M's comin', I think Vegas will make A&M-4.
#15 Ole Miss-Liberty. Ole Miss-20.
UTEP-#16 UTSA. UTSA-7.
#17 BYU-Idaho State. I won't even go there. I write only to point out the "Cougars" ultra-impressive explosion last weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia in which they scored an embarrassing 66 on a good "Cavaliers" team. For some reason I missed that score entirely. Clap out to BYU.
#18 KY-TN. The "Jelly", 6-2 (4-2) lost its viscosity last week in Starkville, MS. "Cowbells" rang them good 31-17. In their last two games then, against UGA and MS State KY is 0-2 and has been outscored 61-30. That's not good. TN 4-4 (2-3) hasn't beaten anybody and has lost to Pitt and Ole Miss at home and got crushed by Florida and Alabama on the road. KY had big wins at home over FL and LSU on back-to-back weeks but the magic is gone. KY-7.
Northwestern-#19 Iowa
South Florida-#20 Houston. Won't play, "Cougars" -10.
#21 Coastal Carolina-Georgia Southern. No idea. Wild...No, I'm not going to make wild guesses. Won't bet on this game. No interest in predicting Vegas.
#22 PSU-Maryland. Oh, I don't know, PSU-10?
#23 Smoo-Memphis. Okay whatever Smoo-7.
#24 Louisiana-Lafayette-Georgia Stae. Like I care.
#25 Fresno-Boise. Big game in the Beijing Athletic Conference. I don't follow the BAC, have no opinion on what LV's opinion is and don't care to get into it.
