Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

No interesting midweek games as the NFL gets ramped up, but Saturday we do get some decent finds.

Noon
Cincinnati at OSU, ABC - A possibly challenging game for the Bucks.  Unlikely they will ease through Cincy like butter the way they did FAU in the first quarter. 

Army at Michigan, Fox - If Army can get some first downs this game could be interesting

Rutgers at Iowa, FS1 - An actual B1G game, where we see if Rutgers has become a real team

Syracuse at Maryland, ESPN - Syracuse is a quality team and I'm very intrigued to see how Maryland handles them

Vanderbilt at Purdue, BTN - Really important for Purdue to snag a win

3:30

Central Michigan at Wisconsin, BTN - Smashy smashy

Nebraska at Colorado, Fox - Nebraska needing a better looking performance for a win here

Illinois at UConn, CBSSN - Could Illinois be 2-0?

Eastern Illinois at Indiana, BTN - Meh

7:30

Buffalo at Penn State, Fox - Buffalo is not a hot garbage team, can PSU dominate again?

Western Michigan at MSU, BTN - Looking for a running game

10:30

Minnesota at Fresno St., CBSSN - Minny also needing some extra juice to get a win

Others

Texas A&M at Clemson, 3:30, ABC - Really big test for the defending champs
LSU at Texas, 7:30, ABC - Nice tilt between two programs trying to break through

much better than week 1

Nebraska opens as 7.5-point favorites over Colorado, but the line quickly drops to 5.5

Huskers O-line looked terrible - no improvement from last season

Why?

You keep up with Syracuse? You know how many people they've lost? How many injuries?

You keep up with Maryland?

Just curious how you believe "they should"?

Give him hell!  He also thinks Texas is going to lose to LSU 27-20.  He's obviously a hack!

Feels good to get the first game of the season win, doesn't it?

Teas "should" lose to LSU

Yeah that's what everyone told us last season in New Orleans.  I guess the team didn't get the memo.

I'd expect Cincy to hang around for 2.3 quarters and then fade.  Syracuse "should" beat Maryland, but I'm sniffing an upset there.  Vandy at Purdue might end up 6-4 in triple OT or something.  Nebbie at CO?  I have read nothing about CO, still assume they are awful.

Clemson will probably hammer A&M late something like 41-21.

LSU @ Texas, probably the best GotW.  I'll guess LSU 27  Texas 20.

I'll disagree with just about everything you have written here.
I have OSU on High Upset alert.
- Cincinnati has the talent to compete.
- They have a coach who starred in 50 games at OSU, and coached over a decade there.
- Bearcats have the top 77 players from Ohio that didn't get an offer from OSU. Including RB Warren Mr. Ohio in Football.
- This whole team is a walking"chip on the shoulder" This game is goona get U-G-L-Y, and if The 'Nati can get the Bucks to play their game can pull off the upset.

Maryland is a field goal underdog to Syracuse, but looked a hell of lot better beating Howard (79-0) than the Orange did against Liberty (24-0) I think Maryland's overall talent is a step better than Syracuse, mainly because they don't have all the injuries they have had the last 2 seasons.

Vandy - Purdue will be a high scoring affair.

Nebraska - Colorado - you left a question mark, so I can't disagree with you, but the point spread getting bet down to 5 points really quick has me thinking it should be a pretty good game.

Clemson will hammer A&M early, and maybe let A&M get some mop up scores to make the stats look decent.

I have faith in the only team in the B12 to play defense. 😈 Texas holds off LSU late to squeak out win.
