Central Michigan @ Kentucky - I predicted 28-14, and the final score was 27-13. For almost 3 quarters, fans in the Commonwealth were left wondering how a 6-win season was even possible. Then the offense came to life, and a fourth and goal from the 1 touchdown provided the 14-point margin of victory. (1-0)
Mississippi State @ Auburn - Were it not for another game that night, this may have been the game of the day, a back and forth affair of momentum swings and money changing hands. Mississippi State lost the Cam Newton sweepstakes last year, and they wound up about 3 inches short of a tying touchdown as time expired this year. I said it would be close, and it certainly was. (2-0)
Alabama @ Penn State - SEC speed. That's all you really need to say here. Alabama's defense is strong, and if the offense can do just enough, they'll be right there in the chase for the BCS championship. (3-0)
Cincinnati @ Tennessee - By all accounts, the Bruce Pearl Bobblehead Day was successful, but everyone seems to be denying that they received his BBQ book. Strange. Maybe this week someone will post a picture of it. Oh yeah, UT won big. Blah blah blah. (3-1)
Memphis @ Arkansas State - At some point, Memphis really just needs to consider donating the football team to my alma mater - Christian Brothers University and using the tax refund to buy out R.C. Johnson's contract. Either that, or not schedule Sun Belt conference teams. (4-1)
Notre Dame @ Michigan - Game. Of. The. Day. Michigan scrambles from 17 down to take the lead in the fourth, only to see Notre Dame score with 30 seconds left, only for them to completely blow an assignment and give up a huge pass play and then touchdown with 2 seconds left to lose 35-31. This continues to prove my point: Notre Dame is overrated. (5-1)
This Week: 5-1
Season-to-Date: 9-3
More winners from this weekend: America.
Have a great week!
