10-3 Michigan, game sucked. I don't think either team wins the Big 10, let alone makes the Playoffs. Only 7 out of 19 got it correct.
Yahoo: @(8)Wisconsin -36.5 Kent St
Vegas: -35
I switched to Kent St. They should just drop games where the spread is more than 30. We're not assessing relative strength anymore, but rather when the favorite will stop being an asshole.
48-0, assholes. 15 got it correct, my biggest oddball pick of the weekend.
@Texas Tech +10 (21)Oklahoma St. Knock it out of the rankings.
45-35 Texas Tech. Sweet, buh-bye. 10 of us got it correct.

FL's 88 yard run was their longest since 1988, Emmitt Smith.
Tenn is looking good.
I think you jinxed them. They started falling apart as soon as you posted.

Nice, by 4.5.
@(13)Oregon -17.5 California.
Hmmm, I like Oregon (3-1) a bit more and support whichever team is doing better. However, dropping Cal (4-1) all the way from #15 to unranked after it lost a close game to now #20 AZ St (4-1) seems extreme, as does the 17.5 point spread. Cal only lost to (15)Washington by a point, and Oregon only beat weak Stanford (2-3) by 15 on 9/21. Your thoughts? I decided to let the Vegas wiggle decide for me. Vegas now says Oregon -18, so I'm sticking with Oregon.
Oregon won, whew, but not close to by the spread. My initial doubts were correct.
3 points to spare
Thanks for the memory, past wins over Florida is all I have today. Emmitt ran for over a hundred yards in every game he played except for 3.

He played Auburn 3 times and was shut down every time. At one game the crowd was chanting, give it to emmitt and Emmitt was on the sidelines crying.
1989: Auburn 10, Florida 7
The Auburn Tigers send Emmitt Smith and the Gators home with another loss. Emmitt Smith would not beat Auburn in his career as a Gator.

MEMORY LANE: Smith, who chose the Gators over Auburn in a heated recruiting battle, never beat the Tigers. In 1987, both teams were in the top 10 when the Tigers won handily at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Smith missed the '88 game with an injury. In 1989, Smith, the country's leading rusher entering the game, was held to 86 yards but the Gators had a late 7-3 lead until Tigers quarterbck Reggie Slack hit wide receiver Shane Wasden in the right corner of the end zone on 4th-and-11 with less than a minute remaining....

MEMORY LANE: Newton, who won the Heisman Trophy with the Tigers, did not face the Gators during his one season in Auburn. At Auburn, the national champs that season ('10), he also played in the SEC Championship Game. The Gators went just 8-5. While at Florida as a true freshman in 2007, Newton was the top backup at quarterback to Tebow. Hew threw 10 passes that season (completing five) and rushed for 104 yards. In the loss to Auburn at Florida Field, Newton was not listed on the participation chart by Florida for that game, meaning he did not play.

RECORD VS. AUBURN: 2-1
17COMMENTS
1964: W 14-0
1965: L 28-17
1966: W 30-27
MEMORY LANE: Florida was ranked in the top 10 in each of Spurrier's meetings with Auburn as a player. The Tigers were unranked each time yet came up with a major upset at home in '65. The following season, a win over the Tigers all but gave Spurrier the Heisman Trophy. Auburn entered the game in Gainesville just 3-3 but was locked in a 27-all tie late in the game. With 2:12 left and facing fourth down, Spurrier -- Florida's seldom-used long-range kicker -- stayed on the field and booted a 40-yard kick to win it. He threw for 259 yards and one touchdown that day. Spurrier later went 10-3 as Gators coach against the Tigers, but all three losses were devastating as Florida was ranked No. 1 in two of those games.

I really thought that we would win this one and lose 2 or 3. Now I have no idea about the rest of the season.
Bye Week, then likely easy Ark, then season killing or redemption @(5)LSU. I've already decided - Go Tigers!
My parents drove to Gainesville for the game where Spurrier kicked the field goal.
There have probably been others, but he and my mom's hero, George Blanda (3 years older than her), are the only QB/PKs I can think of.

As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!). They must, with Europe and others, watch over...
... Don't believe the corrupt media. Iowa's game last week was perfect.
This week, I'm planning to exercise my great and unmatched wisdom in deciding whether Clemson will totally destroy and obliterate the Seminoles.
Michigan still sucks.
Get to know a five-star: Myles Murphy
He was as they say around those Clemson parts, "all in."
“The culture,” Myles said. “The vibe when I’m on campus, it’s just a happy feeling. I feel at home. The coaching staff has been there for a while and they’re accustomed to everything there. They have families there.”
Murphy’s parents loved it too.
“The process they go through recruiting your kid,” Willard said. “All the coaches we met were great but it seems with Clemson they are thorough. When we talked to the players, we got the same feedback from all the players. It wasn’t like the coaches were saying something and the players something else, we got the same thing every time. They had his major architectural engineering. Talking to some of the other players we always seemed to get the same vibe and at Clemson they seemed to really want to focus on after college. There is a couple things they do that other colleges don’t.”
247Sports Director of Scouting Barton Simmons projects Murphy as a future Top10 pick in the NFL Draft and compares his game to a former All-Pro in Robert Quinn. That level is part of Murphy’s plan but first he wants to go out strong at Hillgrove before shining at Clemson as part of what looks to be a hellacious defensive line haul Swinney and his staff have put together. Murphy along with fellow five-star Bryan Bresee and Demonte Capehart and Tre Williams are the backbone of a Tigers class that ranks No. 1 nationally.
