I see what you did there.

I am genuinely thrilled OSU plays there on Nov 18th. It could be 50 and calm. It could be 15 and high winds.

From this weekend and an ESPN article:
Middle Tennessee 32, Tennessee Tech 25. Another near-upset for the FCS ranks and my favorite win probability chart of the week.

Middle Tennessee eased out to a 21-0 lead in the second quarter but shifted into cruise control far too early. Tennessee Tech went on a 25-3 run, capped by Jordan Yates' touchdown with 1:06 remaining, but the Blue Raiders finally awakened. Frank Peasant cut to his left and sprinted for a 30-yard TD with 16 seconds remaining for the winning score.

If I were a betting man, I'd take Texas (-6.5) over Michigan.

Maybe I should be a betting man? (Texas 24, UofM 3 at the half).

I did bet that.

Turns out it’s hard to beat good teams when your team isn’t loaded with 6 year seniors and you don’t know all the opponent’s signs.

I remember that La Tech highlight... that was years ago though.

All the talk last week was how easy ND's schedule was after they beat Texas A&M and how they'll cruise to an undefeated season.

Ouch.

Maybe A&M was overrated?

I would take Tenn (-7.5) over NCSU with the spread as well.

Notice nobody cares about Colorado anymore?

JFC, they are terrible. And Deion is horrific at coaching. Like he doesn't know what's going on in the game. Trying to get into FG range for the first half, completely forgets to take a time out, loses 10 seconds on the clock (they had 3, with 25 seconds left).

He'll be fired if he doesn't leave voluntarily within 2 years.

ESPN has Colorado 38th in FPI, let's see where that is next week: https://www.espn.com/college-football/fpi

The OSU-W. Michigan stats are rare.

683 total yards vs 99.

56-0.

W. Michigan was beating Wisconsin in the 4th quarter last week.

Related: Bama visits Wisconsin next week. The Nick Saban era is truly over.
