AP Top 25

Not much change in the top 9 except OR and TX are both slightly down after easily winning their games. Must be a conspiracy against liberal cities. I suspect that SEC refs are somehow involved.

I edited while you were laughing.
"I predict Iowa will beat the spread."

[Vrede too]

They cooled off @Rutgers, 21-21 still.
28-38. My prediction was accurate, O Really. My preference failed. 0-2 this week.

Huge upset brewing, huge:

Tulsa (1-2) 19, @Oklahoma State (1-1, -13.5) 3
I didn't have a favorite but I like upsets.

EDIT: Tulsa wins 19-12, beating the spread by 20.5.

So today we have UNC taking on the Mighty Mouse, who was accused regularly by Billy.P of scheduling weak opponents and claiming false valor. I don't necessarily agree - I think UCF has had some good teams and has tried to raise their level of competition among the company of other traditional local powerhouses, 'Canes, 'Noles, and 'Gators. We've also got two of those "powerhouses" going at each other with the opportunity for the 'Canes to embarrass the Gators in Miami. Or be embarrassed.

We've got some cross-state rivalries with UDub and Wasu playing in the Apple bowl and Duck and Beavers playing on a surprising sunny day.

Aztecs are playing the Golden Bears, who stomped them last year, but their overall record against Cal is 4-5. Hopefully a good game.

I suppose we should throw in a WDE! for Auburn-Oklahoma.

Go football - should be a fun day.

Sometimes rivalry games have surprising results but I don't really think there's much magic available for Wasu or Beavers.
BTW, go Terps!

Yahoo lists it as "IU -6.5". Real helpful. I chased it down elsewhere, then did a 2nd check since it's counter-intuitive. Go IL!
10-63 No chance of returning to the Top Ten, sorry.

CBS/Paramount+
Washington (-20.5 ) > @Washington State. GoLady OGo

It's a good thing Billy.P didn't have to watch today. It might be hard to blame the refs when your QB gets sacked 10 times. And the whole team totally falls apart while leading by one with 5 minutes to go. But hey, it was the refs.

34-9, 'Heels kicked by the Mouse. Wait is Belichick supposed to be a defensive or offensive genius?

Terps!
Dook!
'Cuse!

They were almost blameable. On the late drive that put WDE up by one the refs missed 2 critical PIs. However, they finally called one and WDE capitalized with a TD. Those sacks were some sort of record, either for OK or the NCAA.
