C-Dub, you and I have had our differences, but I'm gonna have to just go ahead and ask you to just back off.  Sure, maybe your defense was the worst last year, but Texas owns the shitty defense trophy from 2014-2017 and no amount of your protests is going to change that!
everything's bigger in texas, even the suckitude.

Vandy likely has a better shot at 6-6.  They get NIU OOC which is a possible loss of course, UNLV, and ETSU.  They might be 3-1 OOC.

The get LSU and Ole Miss from the SEC West, so that could be 1-1.  Tenn and UK and Mizzou and USCe had less than sparkling outings, so they could go 2-2 there potentially.    That presumes they don't upset Florida.  That gets them to a minor bowl, even with a loss to Purdue (or UNLV etc.).

But a win at Purdue has them sitting fairly solidly I think.  They have some weapons and a half decent defense.  That should be an interesting game for two teams in the middle of the pack.

  • #3 Wisconsin -35 vs CMU
  • #4 Penn State -30 vs Buffalo

  • #11 Illinois -20 at UCONN
  • #12 Purdue -7.5 vs Vanderbilt
  • #13 Indiana vs Eastern Illinois (no line on worldwide leader right now)
  • #14 Rutgers at #6 Iowa
I'm ignoring the two games that I don't have a line for (Iowa/RU and IU/EIU) so with NU on a week off and those two games excluded there are 10 games involving B1G teams this weekend.  The games sorted by spread (ie, in projected order of competitiveness) are:
  • Maryland -1.5 vs Syracuse
  • Minnesota -3 at Fresno State
  • Nebraska -4 at Colorado
  • Purdue -7.5 vs Vanderbilt
  • Michigan State -16 vs WMU
  • Ohio State -16 vs Cincy
  • Illinois -20 at UCONN
  • Michigan -23.5 vs Army
  • Penn State -30 vs Buffalo
  • Wisconsin -35 vs CMU

Is Vandy really thought to be that much of a dog in this one?  I guess so.

Based more on ELA's preseasons rankings than anything else: I didn't expect Maryland to be favored versus Syracuse.

The Vols have BYU this week. The Cougars aren't great, but are quite a bit better than Georgia State, I'd imagine.
