I doubt we are going to see a headline “Shocker from the Swamp” but this Lafayette team in respectable. They are in the middle of the Sun Belt and last week handed Louisiana-Monroe their first conference loss – yet that Monroe team that was making the SEC look silly.
The Cyclones were not totally embarrassed against Oklahoma last week. The game wasn’t really close but they kept it reasonbly respectable. They are still looking for their 6th win but it is going to be hard to get it this weekend.
Both Ohio (8-1) and Bowling Green (6-3) are at 4-1 in the MAC East standings and each trails Kent State, who each has to play to end the season.
The North Carolina Wolfpack are coming off an incredible 2012 NCAA tournament run, and they’re bringing all that momentum with them into the 2012-13 season. The team from Raleigh, N.C. is ranked sixth in both the preseason AP and USA Today polls, and they look to be the favorite in the ACC to begin the year.
The No. 13 Clemson Tigers are set to travel to Durham, N.C. to take on the Duke Blue Devils in a nationally televised contest this weekend. Clemson is looking to win their fifth straight game in a row, while Duke is looking to bounce back from a disappointing showing against the No. 12 Florida State Seminoles.
The Oregon State Beavers’ magical run came to an end last weekend, but despite a three-point loss to the Washington Huskies, they remain the No. 11 team in the country this week. The team from Corvallis plays host Saturday to the Arizona State Sun Devils, who are also coming off of a tightly contested loss.
The UCLA Bruins may be unranked in the BCS, but they are earning national attention in the media as the 25th-best team in the AP Poll. The Arizona Wildcats travel down to Los Angeles as the No. 22 team in the country as they look to Spoil the Bruins’ homecoming. Both teams have been good this year, and both teams are looking for a statement win this weekend.
The Aggies have been better than expected in their SEC debut season. They have two losses to Florida and LSU by a combined 8 points proving that they are not being outclassed by too much.
I am still a little bit shocked by the result of last week’s OU vs Notre Dame game. It marked the second loss at home for the Sooners this season and it could easily be the tipping point for a program that could be sliding.
Too bad we are not talking hoops where this matchup would have been greatly anticipated. The Owls are back in the Big East but with a team a notch below the one that competed hard in the MAC the last couple of seasons.
The expectations might have been a little unrealistic coming into this season for BIg Blue. Right now they have three losses to Alabama, Notre Dame and last week @ Nebraska and there is no shame in any of those.
The Oklahoma State Cowboys will try to do what no one else has been able to do so far this year, take down the Kansas State Wildcats.
If you have been smart you have been on the Rebels bandwagon all season long as they are sporting a 7-1 ATS record coming into this weekend. No major upsets included just playing it a little closer than expected.
Ohio State (9-0) will not be going to any bowls this season with their suspension, but they are still undefeated and the 6th ranked team in the nation. Illinois (2-6) can play in a bowl this season, but to do so they will have to win their last 4 games.
Texas Tech (6-2) has lost 4 straight to Texas (6-2), but Texas has lost 9 straight games facing ranked opponents. So, something has got to give in this game and the loser of this Big 12 match up is definitely out of the BCS picture while the winner keeps their slight BCS hopes alive.
