Minnesota(+1) over Northwestern (1.5*) **Top Play**
- - The exciting new stadium hasn't hurt, because the Gophers have displayed a maturity I never associate with that program, and after tests against Air Force and Cal, the significant improvements are showing for a second straight year in their previously poor pursuit/contain/discipline on defense . . . Minnesota has designs on not looking up at the the rest of the conference after some sleepy opener.

Cincinnati(-17) over Fresno State (1*)
- - This one should look like Brian Kelly has his team playing downhill while Pat Hill is again sending his charges uphill.

( - - "Cincinnati's offense is spread and shred . . . Former Nebraska All-America cornerback Keyuo Craver once said the best way to stop the spread offense was to drop back nine and rush three. Except that'd be 12 players and the rules allow only 11. Doh! . . . Fresno State defensive playcaller Randy Stewart wouldn't mind incorporating the 12-player strategy Saturday if he could, with the Bulldogs set to face No. 14 Cincinnati's high-powered, spread, no-huddle offense . . . "That's a dangerous, dangerous offense we're about to face," Stewart said . . . Instead, Stewart will have to devise something else. Something actually legal . . . Something quite different from the Bulldogs' past two defensive game plans against Boise State and its motion offense, and Wisconsin and its power-I run game. "Basically, you're starting from scratch with your game plan," Stewart said. "There are new things to key on. . . . "There's no consistency week to week preparing for the other team because every team seems to do something really different." . . . The Bulldogs' latest plan is similar to one they've tried against pass-happy Hawaii: Bend, don't break . . .")
Notre Dame(-7)(-105) over Purdue (1*)
- - I see that Jimmy Clausen bitch being as good a leader as the choir boys can muster at the moment, which means the job will get done with a fine team effort in this one.
