Good day for apple picking. Temple-SMU might be the most interesting game on the slate.

I was thinking the THE/NW game had the smell of a potential upset ( a Friday road game a week a head of a top 10 match-up) until I saw that NW's sole win was against UNLV (and the Rebs only win was at Vandy?) Talk about your Circle of Suck.

If I'm going to take a truckload of points in the Big Ten this week, it would be the 31 and Illinois, because Wisky has tOSU next week.

I'd also take Purdue +18 at Iowa and even give them a smidge of a chance for an upset. Iowa has lost two slugfests in a row and can't score.

Seeing UCLA hammer Stanford last night, which beat Washington, which beat USC, which beat Utah, which beat Oregon State, which beat UCLA..

 

[Chef2]

Is Stanford just happy with sucking in Football?
You never hear anything about Shaw being on any hot seat.

Well he is 85-30 during his tenure and has never won less than eight games in a season. So that's probably why they aren't in a rush to fire him.

Sorry, I can't show that Tennessee is better than Alabama in 2019

Well, that's better than the "LOL LOL LOL LOL" I figured I would get by trying.

With Shaw, when you are the all-time wins leader at your school I imagine you get to decide when you leave for the NFL. He's going to be coaching in the NFL before too long in any event. You can have Lincoln Riley, I think most GMs would want Shaw.

 

[Chef2]

I - FBS Texas Tech beat Oklahoma St 45-35
I - FBS Oklahoma St is better than SMU because Oklahoma St beat Tulsa 40-21
and SMU only beat Tulsa 43-37
I - FBS SMU beat TCU 41-38
I - FBS TCU is better than Oklahoma because TCU beat Kansas 51-14
and Oklahoma only beat Kansas 45-20

Therefore, Texas Tech is better than Oklahoma in 4 rounds by a combined score of 177-161

He's coached in the league before and that helps. But he seems like he's pretty settled in Northern California, coaching his alma mater and having a large amount of control over the program and the standards he wants. He could definitely leave, but I think it would have to be a California-based or West coast NFL team.

Oh, Arkansas.

TD review song of the day.
Texas Tech played Mumford and Sons "I Will Wait" while awaiting a review.....

The punter with the two-hand chest pass with a football. I'm stunned that didn't work.

 

[HanSenSE]

Guessing it hasn't been a great start for the Sooners today.

 

[HappyCurmudgeon]

Wisconsin would **** up next weeks' game by losing to Illinois wouldn't they?

I took Purdue and Illinois plus points ... but holy cow, Illinois moneyline would have been somethin'.
