FBC week 6 running thread

--Missouri at Nebraska scares me.

Yeah, it's scary to think how many points Mizzou will pile on Nebraska. Pelini's defense couldn't stop a bunch of anemic Hokies ... I'd be surprised if the Tigers score less than 40.

Nebraska can sell as many consecutive games as it likes, but Memorial Stadium is nothing special.

When does Oklahoma play someone above the junior varsity level?

Going to Washington and playing TCU and Cincy at home is a far better non-conference schedule than a lot of top 25 teams.

Maybe that's so; I won't argue that many programs never go out of the way to put anyone decent on their non-conference schedule. But before we throw OU into the BCS title game, I think it's a bit silly to look at these first four games and think they've had any serious competition.

Michigan is favored this weekend. They are hosting Illinois. I don't know if I agree with this.

Michigan beat Illinois last year with Brandon Minor premiering and Ryan Mallett starting in Champagne. Not to say that matters, but after they beat Wisconsin, Michigan apologists are going to lose any shame they accumulated after the Dames beat them.

I still don't think Michigan's offense can stay with Illinois

No love for Little Middle's game-winning Hail Mary?

Yea, I agree, but Michigan still has a pretty good defense. The Notre Dame game wasn't good, but the defense really only gave up two bad plays. They were great against Wisky. The offense turned it over 5 times in one half but only suffered 19 points. That's impressive.

I love it. The Blue Raiders got their yard this time.

Texas Tech(-7) will beat the crap out of KSU too...K-State sucks. Josh Freeman might have an NFL body but he has a peewee arm.

The line on TT @ KSU is only 7?

I can't pick up the phone fast enough.

This should be an ass-beating.

80.5!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know that I've ever seen a O/U that high.

I can't remember who the opponent was (maybe Texas Tech or Kansas), but the over/under on a Missouri game last year or the year before hit the mid 80s, I believe.

careful on tt at ksu.

someone could be hurt for tt, or suspended. don't be so quick to take tt without knowing why the line is so low.

Auburn @ Vanderbilt; UA (-4); 37.5

You really don't want to screw up the initials here. DJC just choked on a chili dog and doesn't know why.

 

[Songbird]

Take Vandy and the 4.
