Who has the toughest opponents?

 

[Cie]

VT @ BC BC has good OL and above average D, plus are off of a bye. BC is intriguing in this spot.

Oklahoma @ Cin Cin has soft D, plus they protect their mobile QB poorly. Okie does have Horns on deck.

UNC @ Rutgers UNC having issues with consistancy as can be expected. Rutgers off of a bye and has a solid D. Rutgers ran well vs 2 creampuffs.

 

[Cie]

Temple @ Penn St

Tulane @ Hou Tulane has weakest D in CUSA. Hou would have torched the Wave with 1st 2 QBs, and probably still will. Unsure of Hou QB status.

Nevada @ BYU Nevada O has it together, but BYU is not as bad as 2 straight road ass-kickings. BYU D lacks experience. Nevada is off of a huge win, and has UNLV on deck. Nev 1-3 ATS since '06 the week before facing UNLV. I like BYU, but will likely be alone...

SC @ Auburn Aub just won in OT. SC coasted past Furman. This will be a tough environment for Garcia, who has a poor record straight up and ATS on the road in SEC. But, SC has good ground game, a strong defensive front and excellent DBs. Aub O has looked average most of the past 2 weeks, and faces its stiffest test.

I want to side with BYU, but just can't pull the trigger. May play the total. Haven't decided yet.

OKY IS NOT as good as their ranking.. That is for sure.. .They could lose... AND (I hate to admit it) BYU has EXCELLENT chance of kicking ass... (they have to this week or forget their season)... And THE MORMONS are GOOD IN HAPPY VALLEY, UTAH.... Watch for the power of the Polys(gamy) take control and run/maybe even pass all over em...

Just my two cents on those two games... Ill be with ya on BYU (later in the week)

Love BYU in this spot :toast:

 

[Cie]

From this list, I'm on BYU and will be on BC.

I think BYU is a good play..

Looks like the BYU QB controversy may be over as Riley Nelson is done for the year. Look for the true freshman to play from here on out.

 

[gardenweasel]

unc isn`t a little better than rutgers at this point?...

n.c. lost competitive games vs lsu and geo tech....rutgers beat norfolk st and slid by fiu(i wouldn`t put a ton of stock into tx a&m`s close call vs fiu...5 turnovers tends to do that)........

wouldn`t a flyer on the heels be warranted here?...i suspect being on the road vs lesser opposition might be good for carolina...:shrug:

Was about to post this too. Tough break since Heaps will go on his mission next year. They needed Nelson to get some reps.

I will be really surprised if Heaps goes on a mission, don't think it happens.

Are you saying they keep him from his mission for another year? I thought I read that he was for sure going on his mission next year.

Stanford @ Notre Dame


While I hold out hope for my Irish, I think they might get physically pounded out of it on Saturday. This is a huge opportunity for Stanford to show if they are the real deal or not.... or for ND to fight back after 2 brutal losses

I didn't think he would go from day 1.
