God bless my Razorbacks, but I think this is the week we figure out they don't have a Top 10-defense.

 

There's a lot of garbage this week, but I'd do moneyline bets on the dogs in the Wisconsin-OSU, KState-OK and Clemson-Wake games - not sure all three are as good as advertised and may be caught looking ahead. And you'll come out ahead if one of them hits.

 

We're officially at "no fucking excuses this week" time. So let the annual Third Fourth Saturday in September bedshitting begin.

 

Winston-Salem State is 0-3 and doesn’t even play its home opener until Oct. 1, so don’t bet on them.

 

Based on the thread title, I'd take every comment with a pillar of salt (and do not look back).

 

The Rams make the trip east to Murfreesboro to take on Chowan, then finally return home to face Lincoln.

As for the actual game in Winston-Salem, pretty easy to pull for Wake Forest. Nice break for the alma mater as maybe the Deacons tenderize Clemson a bit for the showdown next week in Death Valley.

 

Gonna be fun in Microville this week. Beavs and Trojans are undefeated, students are finally back because classes start on Wednesday, supposed to be a beautiful Saturday. Our tailgate starts at 1:30 for a 6:30 kickoff. Hopefully we'll see a repeat of 2008, the most electric atmosphere for a game I've ever attended.

 

Now imagine if word gets out around kickoff that the Ducks have crash landed in Pullman. I actually think that upset is in play too.

 

The quarter system isn’t an issue for student attendance at Ohio State or Washington, but I’m guessing it’s a challenge at Oregon State.

 

I didn't think schools had that kind of schedule anymore. Mine did . . . back in 1983. This year they started on Aug. 24.
