Been saying all week that USF is going down at Rutgers (same as Louisville game last year).
The fact that the No. 2 Bulls are mere 2 1/2-point favorites makes me believe it even more.

Louisville will win at UConn ... 60-52 or something like that.

Maybe the least significant Saturday games on this list.

Strange, strange season.

Is till like the Bulls here, unless Teel plays the game of his life. Selvie will create problems all night.

So, does Texas A & M go kick Nebraska's ass, or do the Cornholers rally around their deposed AD?

Either way, it should be fun to watch, no?

Georgia will struggle this Saturday but win its off week with a late field goal.

To celebrate, the Bulldogs will go jump on somebody's car until Coach Richt shoves them off of it.

 

[Dangerous_K]

Remember back in August when Cal at UCLA was going to decide second, or even first in the Pac-10?

Yes....like Forde's line.....Buyout Bowl.

I think they should have to fight to the death after the game. One gets a spear, the other a mace.

 

[Guybehindtheguy]

I think USF will show it's for real, if it hasn't already. Their defense will give Teel and Rice major problems.

I'm still thinking upset tomorrow. Rutgers 34, South Florida 30

 

[Eagleboy]

No way Rutgers pulls it off. That game will finally show the world how much they've turned it around since last season. I've seen three games and remain unimpressed.

That being said, South Florida could entirely lose a game strictly based on the hype. It's bound to happen. By the time they come back home, they'll have tripped up at least once.

Sounds like a slogan. Will that be painted on the stadium walls for the game? ;D

MU vs TT series history
1995 TT, 41-14 at Lubbock
1998 MU, 28-26 at Lubbock
1999 MU, 34-7 at Columbia
2002 TT, 52-38 at Lubbock
2003 MU, 62-31 at Columbia
2006 MU, 38-21 at Lubbock

Two of Missouri's touchdowns last season came off interceptions for touchdowns on back-to-back possessions. Harrell had those two INTs and lost three fumbles last year. Five turnovers by the qb = less than 50 points.

Sign No. 328 that it's a weird year in college football.

Tennessee and Alabama both control their own destinies in the SEC, it's Saban's first game in the series, UT's ranked, Bama's almost ranked ... and ... it's the JP game, because Kentucky is ranked No. 8 in the country and hosting Florida.

(Hey ... it will always be JP to me ... **** this LF ****).

 

[spnited]

What the **** is a JP or a LF game?
