  • 5-1 Cincinnati -22.5 at OkSU Sat at 8 on ESPN2
  • 5-1 Nebraska -7.5 at Minnesota Friday at 8 on FOX


Interesting that the entire top-25 is in action this weekend including the following ranked vs ranked games:
  • #5 Ole Miss +7.5 at #9 UGA, 330 ABC
  • #6 Bama -8.5 vs #11 Tennessee, 730 ABC
  • #10 LSU +2.5 at #17 Vandy, noon ABC
  • #13 Notre Dame -9.5 vs #20 USC, 730 NBC
  • #15 BYU +3.5 vs #23 Utah, 8 FOX
In addition to the five ranked-vs-ranked games:
  • #4 aTm at Arky
  • #12 GaTech
  • #14 Oklahoma, and
  • #16 Mizzou
Are all either underdogs or favored by only single digits.  Could be a lot of chaos.  Also, the Mouse has to love their all-day lineup of ranked-vs-ranked SEC games. 

Edit for correction, thank you @Brutus Buckeye .

You forgot to note the ranking of the Ute's opponent, which led you to include that game as both a ranked vs ranked, as well as a close spread in a ranked vs unranked match up.

Wazzou lost to #5 Ole Miss by only 3 on the road, now they are 17 point dogs at home to Virginia?

This is the oddest top 20, possibly of my lifetime.  
3 Indiana
5 Ole Miss
7 Texas Tech
17 Vanderbilt
18 Virginia
19 South Fla
all ahead of 20 USC, with the same record
.
All the evidence you need that we're not in Kansas (07) anymore.

Ehhhhhh kind of??  These 5-1 teams...some of them are going to end up 6-6, ya know?  They're not actually that good, but they're getting recognition for the snapshot that is now.  It's good and bad.  They're not actually that good, but it's better to reward them for their resume (so far).

Vandy blew out VT (who blows) and beat 11th-ranked South Carolina who is now 3-3 and unranked.
Same with UVA...their win over FSU was huge, but FSU has fallen off a cliff.

It's safe to rank these 1-loss teams, even if they're not that good.  So part of it is same-old, same-old...it's just different teams this year.

I really hate being the Notre Dame defender here but lets be fair. Notre Dame's two losses were by a combined total of four points. One was by a FG and the other was by a single point after ND botched an XP snap. Illinois was never within one score with less than 40 minutes left in either of their losses.
