I'd expect Cincy to hang around for 2.3 quarters and then fade. Syracuse "should" beat Maryland, but I'm sniffing an upset there. Vandy at Purdue might end up 6-4 in triple OT or something. Nebbie at CO? I have read nothing about CO, still assume they are awful.
Clemson will probably hammer A&M late something like 41-21.
LSU @ Texas, probably the best GotW. I'll guess LSU 27 Texas 20.
I'll disagree with just about everything you have written here.
I have OSU on High Upset alert.
- Cincinnati has the talent to compete.
- They have a coach who starred in 50 games at OSU, and coached over a decade there.
- Bearcats have the top 77 players from Ohio that didn't get an offer from OSU. Including RB Warren Mr. Ohio in Football.
- This whole team is a walking"chip on the shoulder" This game is goona get U-G-L-Y, and if The 'Nati can get the Bucks to play their game can pull off the upset.
Maryland is a field goal underdog to Syracuse, but looked a hell of lot better beating Howard (79-0) than the Orange did against Liberty (24-0) I think Maryland's overall talent is a step better than Syracuse, mainly because they don't have all the injuries they have had the last 2 seasons.
Vandy - Purdue will be a high scoring affair.
Nebraska - Colorado - you left a question mark, so I can't disagree with you, but the point spread getting bet down to 5 points really quick has me thinking it should be a pretty good game.
Clemson will hammer A&M early, and maybe let A&M get some mop up scores to make the stats look decent.
I have faith in the only team in the B12 to play defense. 😈 Texas holds off LSU late to squeak out win.
