College football Week 5 thread

All right, it's Wednesday and no thread yet. What gives?

Big games this week:

LSU at Georgia
Ole Miss at Alabama
Oklahoma at Notre Dame
Wisconsin at Ohio State

 

VT at Georgia Tech on Thursday night.

LUNCH PAIL!!!! BEAMER BALL!!!!!

 

Which reminds me, if you're looking for a handy college football TV schedule, this is the best one I've found:

(It's on Central time, so adjust accordingly).

 

Without seeing the lines ...

LSU by a TD in a shootout.
Alabama by 2 TDs.
Oklahoma at ND should be pretty good. Going with Okie by 10 or so.
Wisky at Ohio State. Tough. Buckeyes by I don't know how many.

 

Tennessee is -20 at home against South Alabama. Tennessee shoudn't be -20 against anyone.

 

I haven't actually seen this -3 aTm line, but I'm betting the house if I see it. Arkansas is scoring less than 30 points a game against UL Laf, Samford, Rutgers and Southern Miss. And with a starting quarterback out, no way they keep up with aTm. Even if they rush for 500 yards.

 

I think Okie rolls ND and OSU rolls Wisky - mainly for the same reason - neither team has a good enough QB to beat an elite team, or even a very good team. I don't think any team can survive as a one-dimensional team against Ohio State, and Wisconsin's passing game is just brutal. Stave locks on to his WRs, stares them down, then has a painfully slow delivery. He's at least two picks waiting to happen. So unless Wisconsin's defense plays out of their minds (something the ASU game suggests they're not going to do), I think Ohio Sate wins easily.

 

Is Corso going? I hope he got an old beater instead of a nice car, what with his history at that matchup.

Two books aren't carrying that game, one of which is the one I use. But they will. And I suspect it'll not be 3.

LSU +3
S. Alabama +20
A&M -3

Parlay or tease that and pay off your car.

 

If you can't tell from my post above, I feel really good about Ohio State -7 and Oklahoma - 3 1/2.

 

I like Ohio State, too.

 

If ND can barely beat Purdue and Michigan State (and loses to what might be a fairly shitty Michigan team, based on the last two weeks), there's no way they can hang with Oklahoma, right?
