I am not kidding. That is ridiculous. Sorry I haven't posted in a while....its taken me this long to get over the Ducks defense not showing up at Stanford....

No love for the Hurricanes? I understand their schedule got much easier after top 20 teams for the first 4 weeks of the season, but they should at least get a mention. Nice work Frank Alabama and Florida are so evenly matched you can;t really go wrong with either one at the top.

Nice work Frank

That would have been unique. Physical nature of the Panthers worries me against the Bearcats, whose defense line has been controlled by running teams ... plus not a lot of QB pressure. DB/LB coverage is also soft. Then again, 10 new starters on defense creates that. I agree with you about TCU and have shown my respect on the latest rankings. David ... thanks for visiting and hope all is well with you in NC! David,

Nice to see that that game Pitt/Cincy won't be the only Pittsburgh vs Cincinnati game with significant importance(Bengals and Steelers). If anyone needed any convincing that TCU wasn't for real should have gotten the message loud and clear last night. They out-gained Utah by nearly 300 yards, and ran for over 300 with eight different runners in the game. And Utah was the No. 16 team going in. Nice post again!

Tough game last night as UC didn't seem to be "on" last night. I'm concerned with the defense in their final 2 games (Illinois and @ Pitt). Thanks for visiting. Lester,

To me, he didn't seem to be making good reads ... for whatever reason, Gilyard wasn't a frequent target & it's not that he was blanketed. I see Pike back in the saddle after Thanksgiving (off next weekend). Thanks for commenting. 3rd Stone,

Originally what I said is that the very beginning of the season IF YOU ARE PICKING GAMES you should just pick winners and losers and ignore picking who will cover or not cover the point spread because teams usually come out of the gate slow and sloppy which means they are more unlikely to cover unusually large spreads. Example- LSU escaped Washington with a 31-23 victory in week 1. This does not mean Washington is in LSU’s neighborhood nor does it mean that Arkansas State is anywhere in Iowa’s neighborhood. It means Arkansas State and Washington got lucky. My point about waiting on picking against the spread till week 5 or 6 is because Teams become more established by the sixth week of the season and it is easier to predict what they are going to do based on stats which until week 5 or 6 don’t have much meaning.
