The Oklahoma State Cowboys (5-0 SU, 4-0 ATS) have been rolling along with one of the best offenses in college football. On Saturday they will face their biggest test, on both sides of the ball, when they face off against the Missouri Tigers (5-0 SU, 3-1 ATS) in NCAA college football action in the Big 12 conference, slated to kick off at 8 PM ET at Memorial Stadium (artificial turf) in Columbia, MO.
A good Florida bounce-back led helped me get to two wins but with Colorado and North Texas laying down, the week is awash with a 2-2 record. Let’s try to keep it positive in Week 7.
Record: 15-7 (-1.85 units)
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish (4-1 SU, 3-2 ATS), who are bidding to achieve a national ranking one year after their disastrous 2007 season, will line up against a team that is already in the rankings, the North Carolina Tar Heels (4-1 SU, 3-1 ATS) in NCAA college football action that is set to begin at 3:30 PM ET at Kenan Stadium (natural turf) in Chapel Hill, N.C.
The Arizona State Sun Devils (2-3 SU, 1-3 ATS) are trying to break a three-game losing streak, but they’re going to have a hard time doing it, as they face off against the USC Trojans (3-1 SU & ATS) in NCAA college football action that is scheduled to kick off at 3:30 PM ET at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (natural turf).
This time the Red River Rivalry has additional meaning, as the Oklahoma Sooners (5-0 SU, 4-0 ATS) face off against the Texas Longhorns (5-0 SU & ATS) in a Big 12 contest that has both conference and national title implications. The action gets underway at Noon ET at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.
The Georgia Bulldogs (4-1 SU, 2-1-1 ATS), have had the benefit of an off-week and are on the rebound from their first loss of the season. On Saturday they will try to redeem themselves at home when they hook up with the Tennessee Volunteers (2-3 SU, 1-4 ATS) in NCAA college football action in the SEC that is scheduled to get underway at 3:30 PM ET at Sanford Stadium (natural turf) in Athens, GA.
The Air Force Falcons (3-2 SU, 3-1 ATS), smarting from a tough loss to Navy, will regroup and go at it against the San Diego State Aztecs (1-4 SU, 2-2 ATS) in NCAA college football action in the Mountain West that is scheduled to get underway at 9:30 PM ET at Qualcomm Stadium (natural turf) in San Diego.
Each week during the heart of the NFL season, and once or twice during the NFL Preseason, we’ll gather the troops around the roundtable and hash out the NFL Power rankings.
Ok, so I got caught up in the windmill of Philadelphia fandom for a second. I’m back to my senses now and a second half collapse by the Eagles certainly helped expedite that process. Dallas is still the obvious favorite, but what about the Giants, who shellacked the Seahawks 44-6? We know who the worst are (I’m looking right at you Cincinnati and Houston), but who’s the best?
The Louisville Cardinals (2-2 SU, 1-2 ATS), having a week off after a tough loss to U-Conn, travel to the state of Tennessee to face off against the Memphis Tigers (3-3 SU, 2-2-1 ATS) in NCAA college football action in Conference USA that is scheduled to begin at 8 PM ET on Friday at the Liberty Bowl (artificial turf) in Memphis.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers (3-2 SU, 2-3 ATS, 3-2 O/U) hit the road this week to take on the high-powered Texas Tech Red Raiders (5-0 SU, 2-0-1 ATS, 1-2 O/U) on Saturday when the two teams meet at Jones AT&T Stadium.
After winning their first three games of the 2008 season, albeit over underwhelming opponents, the Cornhuskers have been lit up the last two weeks and looked downright atrocious against the fourth-ranked Missouri Tigers on Saturday, losing 52-17 in a contest they were never in.
