Anybody know the injury updates of Northwestern? My prediction is as if Colter and Mark are not playing.

 

[Steelboy84]

Great call on the FSU game last week.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Took Duke! Yes!!!!

#6 Baylor 66at Kansas

No points for Kansas at all? Not that it probably matters.

 

[hokiehi21]

 

[LawDawg]

Guarantee the Dawgs will not lose their third in a row this week. Book it!

 

[NDHoosier101]

You're missing Air Force at Notre Dame.

 

[iowajerms]

Added Kansas score and added Airforce-Notre Same

Oklahoma and Duke are only ones I question in top 25

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Oklahoma is pretty strong at home under Stoops.

They are a mindboggling 85-5 since 1999.

Although Texas Tech has been the one team to win there on occasion and they give OU fits.

But OKLAHOMA over Texas Tech seems correct to me.

But, overall taking the Sooners at home is usually 99% effective.

That is what people said about the Giants.

"on occasion"? it happened once a couple years ago, and we never won another game the rest of the season

but we are .500 against them since 2005 (most wins coming in Lubbock, of course)

last time we went there as top 10, we burned down Airraid's backyard during the 2nd half

I expect OU to win, but I don't think they blow us out unless we have a stupid amount of turnovers... I just want to keep it close, a win would be nice, but I don't think we're as good as our ranking

 

[tech_iceman]

and on that note... I put 10 points on Tech to win on Pickems

Neither is OU so there is that going for Tech...

I don't think they're playing.

According to local radio they are expected back the following week against Nebraska.

Bye week?

Much needed before we go play the reptiles in the "who sucks the least" game in Jax. I will be there.
