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
the line went down cause everybody was taking Colorado
I always give more weight to opening lines then later unless of course 
theres been an injury etc

If we can keep LSU from scoring more then 45 I'll be happy

You just made us SEC E Champs.

Nah, Texas is SEC East champs.  You're the team that went 5-7 and lost to Temple.

I've been assured by all of the knowledgeable folks that Texas will lose to LSU 77-3.  Their new fast-paced offense is like nothing Texas ever sees aside from every week in the B12, and their defense is almost as impossible to score on as Georgia's and we all know that Texas couldn't possibly beat Georgia or any other top-10 SECSECSEC team.

Simply put, we're doomed.

TCU plays defense too, maybe the best in the Big 12.

Agree, TCU's defense is for real.  Gary Patteron knows what the heck he's doing.  It's scary to think what he could do if he were pulling in consistent top 10 type recruiting classes, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

I'm quite glad ASU gets one more tune up (Sacramento St) before traveling to East Lansing.

That's okay. 

We play in a tougher conference, have had QB issues for near a decade, and still beat Texas, twice, back to back. 

There's still hope. 

May we both have a fruitful season.

+1

Texas' coach is an ex-Buckeye, so I watch them and hope they do good.
I root for Maryland in all but one game. I get really frustrated when they get lumped in with Rutgers as not deserving to be in the B1G. Maryland is a great school, with great athletics, they are B1G ten worthy. It's not their fault they got added with the dredges of the East Coast, and that they are playing 4 top 20ish teams each year in football. There is only a handful of teams that can post a winning record against OSU-MSU, PSU and TTUN. (Maybe 3-4 in the SEC, 2 in the ACC, 2 in the B12, and 0-1 in the Pac?) So, I root for Maryland all the time cause I want them to feel wanted by our conference, and winning breeds respect.

Tougher conference?  LULZ.  Just look at the bowl game win %.  Just look at week1's OOC win%.  Nobody's buying that bulljive but you.

But I can certainly join you in wishing for a fruitful season.

Not gonna ruffle my rhubarb, TCU has played consistently good defense way more than anyone else in the B12, including and especially my own team.
