First off. How great is it that the NFL is back? This past weekend saw my brain explode due to football overload. I am ashamed to admit that I did not make it through the second MNF game last night. Unfortunately the Colts lost a close one to the Houston Texans. We're terrible....
The third weekend of the college football season is about to kick off and again we are left with few "good games". Starting next week we will start seeing big name conference games, but for now we are stuck with just a few gem games.
Week Three
Best Game: 1 Oklahoma @ 5 Florida State 8:00 ABC: Both teams will be playing for a berth in the BCS title game in this game. Landry Jones and Oklahoma appear to be the better team, but Bob Stoops has a tendency to throw away big games. Jimbo Fishers team got demolished in Norman last year. Junior QB EJ Manuel is no Landry Jones. The one thing that might help FSU is that they are playing this game at Doak Campbell. I don't think it does. Oklahoma is just too strong.
Oklahoma 24 FSU 17
Intriguing Game: 17 Ohio State @ Miami 7:30 ESPN: Might as well call it the Probation Bowl. Ohio State got good news as several suspended players will be allowed to play starting Saturday. Probably could have used them in that Toledo game Saturday... Miami has been through a hellish off season under first year head coach Al Golden. Say what you want about the U and the things that went down, this team is hurting for a big win. Miami still holds some animosity from the 2002 BCS Title game against the Bucks. You also can't ignore that Miami looked halfway decent on Labor Day night at Maryland. They were beat in that game in front of a national audience. They have been beaten up for months due to scandal. Call me crazy but I am taking the U to beat Ohio State in south Florida. Ohio State isn't that great and those weaknesses were exposed last weekend. It's all about the U...
Ohio State 21 Miami 24
On Friday I'll look back at the UK game from Saturday and ahead to the rivalry game against Louisville. In the mean time, crucial fantasy football decisions must be made.
