No line on Samford at aTm. Deservedly so.

And it’s still bizarre seeing North Texas in the AP poll. Not even Hayden Fry could get them there. That carcass will be polished clean in the transfer window.

FBS vs. FCS lines typically don't come out until Thursday or Friday.

I'm here once again to encourage you to make some easy money and bet against Kirby and the giant spread. With Tech and a potential SEC championship game coming up, he'll be pulling his starters as quickly as possible.

Watching the Fox spin machine make Rutgers-tOSU big Noon worthy could be fun.

As someone who has had Charlotte in two bets this year (I'm not proud of this), the Niners are absolute dog****. I know it's a huge line, but I don't think Charlotte gets more than a pity TD, if that. So you're basically betting on Georgia to hit 50+, which the Dawgs haven't done this year. They only scored 28 against Austin Peay. I'd just stay away entirely from this.

Is Idaho-ISU considered a big deal? I don’t remember the Vandals playing them during their FBS sojourn.

It was not during my time in North Idaho (2009-21). The Vandals had bigger rivals in Eastern Washington when they returned to the Big Sky.

Moscow and Pocatello are about as far apart as you can be in Idaho. Hard to envision that as much of a rivalry.

 

[I Should Coco]

Also this weekend; The Big Game, Cal at Stanford. It can viewed on the ACC Network.

Ugh.

Yes, exactly. Pocatello is more than 500 miles away from Moscow. WSU is a hop, skip and jump away from Moscow, and the Vandals have much more hate for Boise State than they do for the Bengals.

Where else are you going to find two in-state FCS teams who each play home games in a dome?

 

[kickoff-time]

@dixiehack I'm guessing the thread title is for a Pat Benatar song. Nice one!

North Dakota will take your calls now. Thank you.

I don't spend much time watching College Gameday anyway, but I would carve out more of my Saturday morning for it if they went to games like Harvard-Yale instead of going to Oregon for a second time this season.

To me, the formula should be the biggest game at a location we haven't been to this season. I thought they did it right last week by skipping Athens and Tuscaloosa for a new place. The goal should be 14 different locations during the season.

Wholeheartedly agree. I imagine the production and set up is easier at the Power 4 schools. They were supposedly going to James Madison this weekend.

That would be great. I just assumed they would go to Michigan, especially since there may be more on the line in that game than Ryan Day's pride.

I meant they were supposedly going to James Madison this weekend vs. WSU then opted for Eugene.
