Re: CFB Early Lines Thread (week of 10/8)
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I think ND will get love for the outright win despite still sucking. The lines for this team have seemed incorrect all season. They started off way too low... and then went way way too high (Purdue is good?) and who knows? I'll likely back BC under ~17. [/ QUOTE ] LOL Notre Dame had 140 total yards. [/ QUOTE ] Umm... >3TD dogs in each game? Thats next level bad. And in the modern game... You almost need a fairly explosive offense to warrant that.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] FSU -9 at Wake? [/ QUOTE ] One of the hardest to cap, IMO. I had Wake +6. [/ QUOTE ] I mean, does Wake have someone hurt or what? What am I missing? [/ QUOTE ] We are as healthy as you could hope to be for this time in the year.

Re: CFB Early Lines Thread (week of 10/8)
[ QUOTE ]
Wake last year was a charmed school. +5 in close games. Last year's game was an anomaly. (sp?) [/ QUOTE ] I don't dispute either of those points, but I still can't find a reason why people have FSU ~10 points better on a neutral. Do you guys think they are considerably better with Lee instead of Weatherford?

Vandy didn't compete very well against Alabama or Auburn, and UGA is probably better than both. [/ QUOTE ] You're half right. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Do you consider Wake that much better than Colorado this season? What happened to your avatar? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] FSU managed 221 total yards against Colorado's 279, and was +2 in turnovers. My avatar struggled against one of the best defenses in the country on the road. He will have plenty of opportunities to make everyone forget that subpar performance, most notably this Saturday.

[img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Well, UGA beat Bama at Bama, and Auburn still lost to Mississippi State (!) and South Florida, at home. I don't put much into this week's UGA/UT blowout - Tennessee blocked a punt, got a long TD on a trick play, and by that time it was out of hand. I'm no UGA fanboy - I think they're pretty mediocre - but they're no worse than a push with Bama/Auburn, who both easily handled Vandy - that's the only point I was making. Weren't you extremely pessimistic about Auburn's chances against Mississippi State? Did they like make some sort of trade or something since then that has changed your perspective? Of course they've been playing better, but I don't see what is fundamentally different about them - they have Lester but are also minus Groves - annnnnnd they still have Brandon Cox! Edit: Well, it does look like a fairly dominant performance by Tennessee in the box score, but having watched the first 20 minutes or so, it just seemed like things really snowballed on UGA. I'm not massively re-evaluating them downward or UT upward.
