This game features one of the best duel-threat QB’s in the county in Baylor’s (3-0) Robert Griffin facing a Kansas State (3-0) defense that ranks 6th in the nation. NCAAF lines have the visiting Bears as a 3.5-point favorite with a total of 63.5.
The Sooners (3-0) won last week, but their D did not look great, which is why they dropped to #2 in the AP poll after being in the top spot since the pre-season. They have the chance to move to 4-0 on the season and while Ball State (3-1) is not a football powerhouse they have won 3 of their first 4 games.
Last season in Texas’ (3-0) disastrous 7-loss season head coach Mack Brown said that the home loss to Iowa State was the “lowest point” of the season and they can get some revenge against a Cyclones (3-0) team that has won 2 straight games against teams from BCS conferences.
Along with perhaps Nebraska versus Wisconsin, this is the marquee game of the week in the college football world. Forgetting about LSU momentarily, these have been the two best teams in the conference; both have been winning in highly convincing fashion.
It hasn’t always been pretty for the Ole Ball Coach and his South Carolina Gamecocks, but the bottom line speaks loudest, which is Carolina beating unbeaten and ranked #10 in the FBS.
As one can quickly tell from the betting lines, to say Louisiana State is heavily favored in this game is a wild understatement.
In a battle of two of America’s service academies, the beginning, middle and end of the story is a battle of two juggernaut running games. The Air Force Falcons are ranked #1 in the nation in rushing, with an astounding 411.7 ypg average.
The ACC isn’t messing around this week. Its two highest-ranked teams, Clemson and Virginia Tech, clash in a crucial matchup this Saturday. Can Clemson keep riding the high of last week’s win over Florida State?
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are trying to decide what kind of team they want to be in 2011. Notre Dame has shown that it can move the ball extremely well, racking up more than 500 yards against South Florida and Michigan, but the Irish have also committed 14 turnovers in 16 quarters of action this season.
In 2011, the year that Brigham Young University broke away to be an FBS Independent, the Cougars have had an uninspiring campaign to date.
The Stanford Cardinal welcome in the UCLA Bruins after beating them handily, 35-0 at the Rose Bowl just one year ago.
The Huskies will travel to Utah on Saturday to play the first Pac-12 game inside Rice-Eccles Stadium, and Utah will be looking to show the PAC 12 that they have arrived with a big win over Washington.
A pair of teams looking to get back on the rails. The difference is only one’s season matters. But that won’t keep the Trojans from wanting to spoil the Wildcats’ chances of going bowling when they meet up in LA this weekend.
Nevada certainly doesn’t duck anybody in their non-conference scheduling. This year they have already been waxed by Oregon, lost by a point at Texas Tech and now venture to Boise to resume what used to be a decent WAC rivalry.
The SMU Mustangs have been using some weak competition to straighten out their game after a disappointing opener against Texas A&M. They come into the weekend on a three game winning streak and they have given up just 7 points over the last two games.
The Houston Cougars remain among the unbeaten teams across America after thumping Georgia State 56-0 last weekend. A win over an FCS opponent is hardly something to get overly excited about but quarterback Case Keenum continues to work his way up the all time passing list, passing former BYU QB Ty Detmer for third place all time.
