Utah-Michigan should be interesting

Don't think they'll beat TCU but Minnesota should not be overlooked. They had a nice season last year with some key wins over Michigan, Nebraska, and Iowa. They should be good again, and i think that they'll play TCU tough.

Should hopefully be a good year for the Dawgs.

Should be in top 20 when the new polls come out.

Not a lot of argument that they may be the best 4 at their position in the country right now.

<< <i>ND and UVA is wild...tune in now >>
For sure. ND pulled one out but UVA was there.
Oregon v. MSU was a great game. I was disappointed in the outcome but both teams played well overall. Will be interested to see Oregon, late in the year, once the QB figures everything out. He's been there about a month I think.
Tough day for the SEC but every conference has those kind of days. If Auburn hadn't pulled their win out it probably would have been the worst day by one conference ever. However, Auburn "won" on paper. Will be curious how far they drop in the rankings. In my opinion they should drop all the way out but I know that won't happen.

<< <i>Spartans/Ducks was a great game. Glad to see the Spartans get the win and hope they can keep it up throughout the year. >>
Spartans have beaten a lot of great teams in recent yrs. Oregon, Baylor, Ohio State, TCU, to name a few.

I suspect Bear and Johnny Vaught will be watching... should one of the great games this season

<< <i>Anyone going to any games this weekend? I'm heading up to the Penn State-Rutgers game at 8 pm. PSU's first stripe out! >>
Have fun! I've got A&M/Nevada tix but I can't justify wasting a whole Saturday this weekend as I have a ton to do. I'll be doing good to squeeze in ND/GT on TV. However, next weekend I'm headed to Arkansas/A&M at Cowboys (AT&T) Stadium. Jerry's place is a great place to watch a game.

Very true.
The victory in the Outback bowl in 2012 against Georgia was a big turning point for the MSU Spartans football program.

Take some pics if you don't mind and post them in my gameday pic thread. I'd enjoy seeing what the atmosphere and facilities look like at different places.

Alabama
TCU
Michigan State
UCLA
Ok, UCLA is a homer pick since I am a life-long Bruin fan and I just don't think Oregon is that good this year so can't go with the Ducks out west. Their defense is really giving up points... to bad teams. They played well against MSU but not their other two games.
I am a little conflicted between MSU and OSU but leaning toward MSU right now. I don't see both getting to the playoffs though.
Clemson is my sleeper team.
I think it's WAY too early to write off Alabama.
I know there is a long way to go.
Michigan state
LSU
Oklahoma
IT CAN'T BE A TRUE PLAYOFF UNLESS THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONS ARE INCLUDED
UCLA at U of A
Utah at Oregon
BYU at Michigan (If I were a gambler I like BYU here and the 5.5 points)

<< <i>TCU vs Texas Tech should be good. >>
TCU is only a 6.5 favorite. What am I missing here?
I refuse to give TT too much credit for surviving Arkansas. Arkansas is going to be a 4-8 team this year.

That is a good point. I am rooting for TCU regardless of the spread.

<< <i>A few good looking games with western teams:
UCLA at U of A
Utah at Oregon
BYU at Michigan (If I were a gambler I like BYU here and the 5.5 points) >>
Ugh. They were all stinkers, particularly the game at Autzen. I watched the entire game and never got remotely upset as I watched Utah lay an epic beat down on my Ducks. Most points ever scored by an opponent in Eugene. I kept thinking, "turnabout is fair play: most Oregon opponents have been on the receiving end of a blowout like this". Oregon's never been known for their defense, but this year's is as bad as I've ever seen. However, that's not meant to take anything away anything from Utah - that's a very, very good team.
Not that I needed any convincing, but it really illustrates how much Mariota meant to that offense. He helped the defense out so much by continually putting points on the board, thereby forcing opposing offenses to go away from their game plan to try to keep up.
At the end of the weekend, Oregon finds itself outside the top 25 for the dirst time since 2006. With the trouble the offense is having scoring points and that sieve of a defense, I predict it's only going to get worse from here.

I was worried about Oregon's defense since the first game when they let some FCS school score a bunch on them. The Michigan State game they played well but other than that not so much. You are right Mariota was huge but defense has to play MUCH better than they have. It was actually against eastern Washington they let up 42 points in the first game. I went to the Eastern Washington game Saturday night here in Sacramento against Sac State. Two bad teams. Oregon has no excuse for letting them score 42 AND Georgia State scoring 28. Even Oregon 4th stringers should hold those type of teams to a field goal at the most.

I agree about MSU. I just don't think they are the 3rd or 4th best team in the country, at least not at this point. And this is coming from probably the biggest Spartan fan here.

I don't think Ohio state is overrated. Their defense looks great and they have one of the best running backs in the country. A lot of people think TCU is overrated and I would agree. They should've lost against Texas tech.

Of course you don't. Urban Meyer's would disagree with you. They are not very good right now. That could change
