The Idaho Vandals.FSU is a 56 point favorite () against the mighty Idaho ummmm......Idahoans?
Has there ever been a bigger spread for a game between two 1A schools?
They'll cover it too. I'm laying the 56.
This gives me more confidence in an OSU victory than Lee Corso putting on the wolverine head.
I have to admit that I haven't watched a ton of Auburn this year, so this is going to be an entirely stats-based post, but the stats don't indicate what you are stating.
I have no idea if I posted it or not, but I did think it would be close . . . through halftime and maybe half the third quarter. Then, I thought Stanford's OL and Gaffney would pound them into submission. I was half wrong. Southern Cal couldn't stop Stanford's running game very well (Stanford ripped off 6 yards per rush and Gaffney averaged 6.6).
The post was bad enough....then you go to the comments and it gets worse....didn't think that was possible. Poor guy doesn't understand the goal is to makeculdeus said:
and the B1G is making it hand over fist. Pointing to how crappy the televised product is completely misses that point. The conference as a whole has sucked for the last 5 - 6 years with sanctions and RR not helping things, improvement has been delayed. I don't think anyone questions that. I thought Michigan might begin pulling it's weight a lot better this year, but then Borges decides to go and crap the bed screwing that idea. The realignment will do a better job of having that "contender"....having the competition spread between the divisions was dumb IMO.General Malaise said:OU was something like a 70+ point favorite a few years ago when they were scoring a million points a game. Can't remember who that was against, but I do recall the line. The total in the game was only a few points higher. They didn't cover, IIRC.FSU is a 56 point favorite (

Idaho is terrible. They were responsible for Old Dominion's first win over an FBS school, although I think the definition is very stretched when it comes to our beloved Vandals of Moscow, ID. Dennis Erickson coached there. Twice. It's an armpit. There is no easy way to get there and once you do, you'll want to leave in a hurry. It's like somebody scooped up Starksville, Miss and relocated it 2000 miles.
They'll cover 56 by half time.
Great line 
For the most part, no. Baylor's ahead in computer rankings, Ohio State is ahead in human polls.

Although it gets so early now, the 4th qtr and post game should be night...right? Great game too.
I've said this before but I have a family member who is a fairly prominent booster and he's heard no dirt. Nobody knows a thing at this point IMO. You have to have a connection to the SAO, not the school to have any intel here.
I was talking to the other Auburn fans after the miracle catch, that plays like that is why CBS pays the SEC a billion dollars for TV rights - and that the SEC should ask for a bump in payment from CBS for the effect it was going to have on ratings for the Iron Bowl. At least get a copy of that catch in the next RFP to all the networks.gump said:
Good call. Marshall deserves a lot of credit, but not as much as Gus and his staff. I admitted they put together a good coaching group, but overestimated how long it would take to turn the Chizik train wreck around. He's coach of the year without a doubt.wazoo11 said:Update?
I may be the biggest Auburn honk on this board, and I was mildly disappointed with the Malzahn hire. I thought Petrino was the right guy.Good call.

I don't think anyone expected this.
I'm a huge Sparty homer... hope I'm wrong, but I think OSU buries MSU in the B1G Championship game.
I assume this is before factoring in last weekend's games? Oklahoma St will probably be well ahead of MSU now, no?
Dumb question....what are those numbers? Computer rankings? If so, why are there only three listed?
See last post. They are Massey BCS rankings. They are the rankings of the 3 remaining games that each team has. Baylor has Okie St(20), TCU(72) and Texas(26). tOSU has Indiana(64), Michigan(37) and likely MSU(15).
Gotcha...thanks. Can you put your hands on all the computer rankings? I liked where you were going....interested to see the other computer rankings.
No chance...OSU's great offense vs. MSU's great defense...OSU's meager defense against MSU's meager offense...could go either way IMO
