Am I reading this right that the guy that picked ND over us believes in that pick over all of his others? That seems strange.

No. I think they assign the lowest number of points to games they feel least confident in. So he assigned 1 point to our game because he is least confident in that pick.

What's the spread on FSU/Southern Miss? I might just take Southern Miss.

fyi, the espn fpi predictor has nd comfortably over lsu.

i'm not seeing it. lsu has a strong front 7 to corral the nd running game. lsu's secondary is way superior to the weak nd passing game. if it's aranda vs kelly, i'm picking aranda every time.

lsu's offense is just good enough to keep nd's defense off balance and have just enough success to give the tigers the victory. however, i think lsu's offense is improving and will surprise. lsu by at least 10.

Wisconsin is ranked in the top 10. Miami lost two in a row to end the season, one game was against Pitt.

Also, Miami's big wins at the time aren't as impressive now. Florida State, Notre Dame and Virginia Tech. FSU is not ranked and VT is ranked 22nd. Other than killing Notre Dame their schedule just isn't that impressive. Wisconsin didn't play very many close games.

Miami:
vs Bethune-Cookman W 41-13
@ Arkansas State Canceled
vs Toledo W 52-30
@ Duke W 31-6
@ Florida State W 24-20
vs Georgia Tech W 25-24
vs Syracuse W 27-19
@ North Carolina W 24-19
vs #13 Virginia Tech W 28-10
vs #3 Notre Dame W 41-8
vs Virginia W 44-28
@ Pitt L 24-14
vs #1 Clemson* L 38-3


Wisconsin:
vs Utah State W 59-10
vs FAU W 31-14
@ BYU W 40-6
vs Northwestern W 33-24
@ Nebraska W 38-17
vs Purdue W 17-9
vs Maryland W 38-13
@ Illinois W 24-10
@ Indiana W 45-17
vs #20 Iowa W 38-14
vs #24 Michigan W 24-10
@ Minnesota W 31-0
vs #8 Ohio State* L 27-21

You clearly have no clue regarding ND. Healthy they would roll Alabama! LSU will be lucky if they are even close.

I wouldn't. With Jimbo gone fsu will probably play up to their potential.
