    Funny that you mention Utah State -- a guy just walked into the gallery wearing a Utah State hat.

    "Is that a Utah State hat?" I asked.

    He looked stunned. "You're the first person in a long time to ask if this is Utah State."

    A Utah State hat in Vermont. I don't think I've ever seen a Utah State hat. I'm taking Utah State +6.

    But I would've taken that anyway because of Chuckie.

    I like your upset pick, Steak. Didn't South Alabama put a scare into the Vols last year in Knoxville, too?

    Like your A&M pick, too. I may even throw down on that moneyline.

    I didn't pick the Aggies. I'm actually kind of down on A&M this year.

    Assuming Mike Davis is full-speed, I think the Gamecocks run it down their throat.

    And yeah, Tennessee needed an end zone interception to hold off South Alabama last year.

    I added the jim-dashes and picks. Probably should've bolded them for emphasis.

    Ohhh. My bad. So I'm agreeing with Xan's A&M pick? Shit.

    And by Aggies, I meant Texas A&M.

    The Utah State Aggies upset pick is mine.

    Multiple Aggie confusion.

    C'mon, Sonner, make it an Aggie-Aggie double. Ten bucks'll get you twenty.

    5dimes has lines for the FBS-FCS games. Syracuse is a 14 1/2-point fave at home on the Cats, who have a really dangerous dual-threat quarterback on John Robertson. Thanks for the lines, Snake. Didn't have time to go through and get them all this morning.

    Take the Bruins. To call the UVA O-line a train wreck would be an insult to train wrecks everywhere. The D is talented but prone to giving up the big play, which is a bad combination when you consider they're going to be on the field all day.

    Hundley's also going to have a monster season. He'll be one of the first QBs picked next year.

    Has anyone actually ever said that?

    No, but they never get credit for scheduling -- and beating -- the very good schools and then are shredded for pretty much everything else.
