Well. Outside of Michigan, nobody won exceedingly more than they were supposed to, or hopes to. SUC was about right, tOSU and Texas killed likethey should . . . proving what?
Proving we may have 3-4 undefeated teams come Thanksgiving.

USC 28-10 over Nebraska.
September 17th, 2006 at 12:31:49 am
Christ. Was I Freudian in writing SUC? USC I meant, obviously.
September 17th, 2006 at 12:32:56 am
Yeah, but Andrew, that was in keeping with Vegas. USC did what they needed to do, not one inch more.

Um, what were the odds on the Miami/Louisville game? I know Louisville was ranked higher but I have a sneaking suspicion they wre the underdog in that game.
Other than that, I agree nothing too surprising.
Altough this whole SEC is the best conference argument seems to fail when you have teams that can’t do better than 7-3. Tough defense they’ll say. Ineffective offense I will say. Even lowly Washington State scored 14 against Auburn, whats LSU’s excuse?

I take it Stewart Mandel never made it over to your place?

OK, so how come VT’s opponent was the only one that got an editorial comment, you are right Duke does suck but we weren’t the only one’s who played an easy game this week. You must be a Cavalier ;-)

V - maybe he’s just anti Duke. People who hate Coach K and the Duke basketball program and their continued excellance LOVE ripping on their bad football program, no matter who they face. ;)
Being able to write that Duke sucks is something you don’t get to honestly do during the college basketball season.

I think Walt Harris has Stanford headed pretty quickly in the direction of Duke. Pretty sad.

this may be off topic (as we’re no where near the top 25 right now), but as someone with “NJ” in my name I have to give a hat tip to Rutgers going 3-0 for the first time since ‘81… R-U Rah Rah! :)
