Considering that today’s college football action is already underway, I figure I’d better post my weekly update on the remaining unbeaten and winless teams in Division I-A, and who they play this weekend.
With West Virginia and Louisville both idle in preparation for Thursday’s huge head-to-head showdown, Boise State also idle, and Rutgers playing tomorrow night (go UConn!), it’s a relatively quiet day among the unbeatens. Only the top three — Ohio State, Michigan and USC — are in action. Among the winless teams, Stanford is idle, but the other three have games today.
THE SPECTACULAR SEVEN
(Undefeated teams ranked according to AP poll; opponents ranked according to the CBS Sportsline 119. Betting odds from Vegas.com.)
1. Ohio State (8-0) — vs. #66 Minnesota (3-5), 3:30 PM — Buckeyes favored by 28
2. Michigan (8-0) — vs. #90 Northwestern (2-6), noon — Michigan by 30
3. USC (6-0) — at #47 Oregon State (4-3), 3:30 PM — USC by 11 1/2
4. West Virginia (7-0) — Idle
6. Louisville (7-0) — Idle
15. Boise State (8-0) — Idle
16. Rutgers (7-0) — vs. #84 UConn (3-4), 8:00 PM Sunday — Rutgers by 19
THE FEEBLE FOUR
(Ranked according to the CBS Sportsline 119. Betting odds from Vegas.com.)
114. Stanford (0-8) — Idle
117. Florida International (0-7) — at #39 Alabama (5-3), 3:07 PM — no point spread issued
118. Duke (0-7) — vs. #69 Vanderbilt (3-5), 1:00 PM — Vanderbilt by 9
119. Temple (0-8) — vs. #86 Bowling Green (4-4), 1:00 PM — Bowling Green by 15 1/2
As for the worst one-win team in Division I-A? #116 Buffalo is at #18 Boston College. BC is favored by 33, the second largest point-spread of the weekend. (#13 Arkansas is favored over #115 Louisiana-Monroe by 35.)

Fuck Stanford. Buffalo has one win. It’s a travesty that Stanford is ranked ahead of Buffalo! I mean, come on! Buffalo could have gone to ND stadium and lost too! Give the Bulls a little credit. They were like 40 points away from spanking Temple. Surely that counts for something.

My Boston College bet is cashing baby!
