Haven't looked too closely at it, but my initial reaction is, UL takes it.

Eagerly anticipating first half lines. Probably will be going big on on Fresno State and possibly baylor. Interested to see Oregon as well.

What's your rationale behind Texas Tech? Someone else on here (don't remember who, maybe Ocean?) has the complete opposite opinion, saying they're the most overrated team in CFB. I have to say I'm concerned they couldn't stop Iowa State last week.

Maybe so. Sorry Ocean. Either way, I'm intrigued by polar opposite opinions in this thread. Tech has been a covering machine so far, until they decided to not play defense vs. Iowa State. Then the obvious retort to that is they haven't played anybody with a pulse yet.

And then I look at West Virginia, and their season has just been strange. Barely beat William and fricking Mary, get blown out of the building by Maryfrickingland. Then hang in vs. (now suspect) Oklahoma and beat Okie St. WTF is going on there?

Edit: I think I just convinced myself to stay far far away from this game.

My full sheet has a low scoring West Virginia win by 1 point. Which is why I like WVU getting points and the under in that game.

I will post the full sheet later this week.

Regarding Baylor, I think Kansas State gave the blueprint on how to slow them down, and also how to move the ball on them.

Kansas State got pressure with their defensive line and kept everything infront of them with the linebackers and secondary. They stopped the run with good defensive line schemes. The 3 long TD passes for Baylor were the result of the secondary biting on the run. If they stayed disciplined it doesn't happen.

Offensively Kansas State ran a lot of power runs, with lead blockers. They didn't abandon the run and it paid off. Baylor could not stop it. They also utilized tight ends in the passing game that helped. Baylor wants you to throw outside the hash marks because the strength is in their outside LB and corners, but keep running the ball and throw in the middle to tight ends and their defense will wear out.

They should cover the 32 against Iowa State, but Kansas State showed the way for future opponents.

ehh. Baylor shot themselves in the foot a lot. They showed the blue print in the sense of keep the ball for as long as possible. its not like they are doing anything new. The DCs have had years of film on this and still cant figure it out. K State did a good job but Baylor helped them a lot. If those safeties dont come up then baylor will start busting big runs.

I would tread lightly into the Miami/UNC. Home teams usually outperform themselves in these Thursday night games. Usually a pretty good home crowd. That coupled with the fact that Fedora's offense can put up numbers makes this a no play for me. May even lean UNC

Dude, our defense blows dick. Think Texas A&M D, and multiply by 20. As far as the home field advantage thing, Kennan Stadium isn't exactly a nightmare to play in. The Carolina faithful will be pumped up to start, but as soon as Miami starts their penetration, which will happen, the students will head back to their dorm rooms, and the snobs will head home. It's just the way it is at Carolina. My dad and grandpa are alums, so I have been to many games in Chapel Hill. Carolina will have to go blow for blow with Miami and I don't see that happening.
