Writeups:

Tennessee- It seems like the college football world has a bit of amnesia when it comes to Georgia. Their coach was on the hot seat after a couple of early losses but after a couple of wins against a cupcake and the Mississippi teams alot of folks have jumped on the Bulldog bandwagon again. I am not quite there yet and I like the vols to really step it up at home. The Vols have been solid at home and they will have a strong home crowd. Look for the Vols to get a nice signature win at home.

Nebraska- I am having a bit of trouble understanding those on the Ohio St side tonight. Yes, Nebraska got hammered on the road last week but that was at Wisconsin. Ohio St got hammered at home and now people really expect the Buckeyes to regroup and got their offense going on the road at Nebraska's Big Ten home opener debut. I really don't see that happening. Nebraska will be able to score enough in this win and their defense will do the rest. It won't be pretty for the Buckeye faithful.

Northwestern- Nice home dog opportunity here. Northwestern is coming off a hard road loss last week and this game will help them get past that loss and get their season back on track. Michigan has been playing well but their competition has not been good and their defense has not been tested since the ND game. I expect a pretty high scoring affair and do look for NU to have a real good chance to win the game and definitely come through with the cover.

San Diego St- TCU has flat out struggled against passing teams and that is SDST's strength. This is a big spot for SDST to prove that they are a contender in the Mountain West. I expect the Aztecs to put their best foot forward to be in a position for the straight up and certainly covering the 4.5

Stanford- Stanford has been rolling and clearly outclass Colorado in all phases. The only question here is motivation. They could put up 7-8 TD's on Colorado but definitely might slow things in the 2nd half.

Houston/ECU- Great offenses here and one really bad defense in ECU and a so so defense in Houston should get this game over the big total.
