CFB Weekend Preview #4

Florida A&M @ #4 Ohio State

The lines in this one have Ohio State beating FAMU by as low as 49 points and as high as 50. Although the most interesting thing in this game will be how Urban Meyer handles his breakout star quarterback, Kenny Guiton. Although Meyer has insisted there isn't a quarterback competition he hasn't ruled out the possibilty of using a dual QB system. If anyone has the credentials to pull off such a controversial plan it's Meyer. 

At any rate 50 points is a lot, which isn't to say I don't think Ohio State can do it. But a lot will probably depend on how the QB situation shakes out. I wouldb't be surprised to see the third stringer get a couple shots in with this one to be honest. At least after this Ohio State will start playing some decent competition.

Did you know FAMU plays in the MEAC conference? Yeah, apparently there is a Mid Eastern Athletic Conference. 

In conclusion though, yeah, Ohio State will hang 60-70 on them. I hope they do if for no other reason than to punish there stupid fucking marching band who killed someone, literally.

Ohio State 66 - FAMU 7

Michigan State @ #22 Notre Dame

Thw Fighting Brian Kelly's are favored by 5 in this game which seems like a really fair line. However, looking at how both teams have faired thus far in the year I'm inclined to take the Sparty upset. Although the Irish are at home after two games abroad this game will come down to defense since both teams are pretty similarly ranked as far as defense goes.

I give a slight nod to MSU in this regard since as the old addage goes "defenses always travel well", or something like that. I reckon this will be a pretty low scoring "grind it out kind of game", in other words it'll be really boring.

MSU 10 - ND 7

#23 Arizona State @ #5 Stanford

I don't foresee any surprises here as Stanford seems to be rolling and typically beats the teams they're supposed to. I think the only game of the weekend featuring top 25 teams will be pretty boring as Stanford gets the Sun Devils at home where they are usually really good.

Arizona State on the other hand will pay with the bad karma they've accumulated after literally stealing one from Wisconsin last week.

Stanford is favored by 6.5 but to me that seems a bit low. I would expect them to win by at least a touchdown, maybe more.

Stanford 21 - ASU 14

Utah State @ USC

I was right the last time I "had a feeling" about a USC game and I'm having that feeling again. I don't want to take full credit for that scum bag Lane Kiffin losing his job, but if he finds himself in the breadline next week I will think I played a small part in it. 

As in the last game USC is only favored by 6.5 over Utah State, doesn't that seem really low? I'm calling the upset now.

Don't kid yourselves. The Aggies have quite a potent offense, putting up 70 against the vaunted Weber St. defense. Meanwhile for having one of the best receivers in the country USC has struggled mightily, putting up only 10 in that Washington St. game. If this was a home game for the Aggies they might even be favored.

Utah State 21 - USC 17

#15 Michigan @ UConn

- Fany Pack

Not doing a CFB Weekend Preview last week was probably for the best, as I don't think anyone saw Michigan coming so close to being embarrassed at home, at basically the last minute by a team that hasn't won a road game in almost five years. 

Saturday's matchup should, in theory, be a breeze for the Wolverines, who move on to UConn in an 8 o'clock showdown. (Because when I think of exciting prime-time night games, I think no-win UConn.) Anyway, this game is all about saving face for Michigan. If they can do against the Huskies what they were supposed to do against Akron last week, then all will be forgotten remembered but not with heaps of ridicule.

As for UConn, who is 122nd in rushing, their only hope is to keep up their decent passing game. Unfortunately for the Huskies, Michigan's defense seems more than capable of holding them back. And after such a close one last week, Michigan is going to be especially determined to rack up the points. I smell another blowout game.

Let's just chalk the Wolverines' performance against Akron up to indigestion from their Irish feast two weeks ago.
