Review of Week 9

Cincinnati +2.5 vs. USF (2)

Boring game, but at least a little kid got to hit on Erin Andrews after getting run over.

Wisconsin +5.5 @ Michigan State (3)

If I was Barry Alvarez, I would have called down and fired Bret Bielema immediately with twelve seconds left in the game.

UConn +3.5 vs. West Virginia (2)

I have no idea what Randy Edsall said at halftime, but it must have been inspiring.

Baylor +21 vs. Missouri (3)

Missouri is not who we thought they were. The Big XII Championship Game is going to be a repeat of 2005.

Utah State +6 vs. Hawaii (2)

I'm not even sure how the Aggies ended up anti-public here. Hawaii is terrible.

Arkansas State +23.5 @ Alabama (4)

Fade #1 against Alabama: Fail. Fade #2 against Alabama with LSU: Pending.

Louisiana Tech +4.5 vs. Fresno State (2)

I guess the public has figured out that Fresno isn't very good.

Temple +7 @ Navy (5)

I am quite glad that NCAA rules don't let teams go for the extra point when it is pointless in overtime. By the way, Al, you are allowed to take a knee when running out the clock.

Clemson +3 @ Boston College (2)

Clemson looked like they were going to try to give the game away. I am fortunate to come away with a victory here.

Iowa State +30 @ Oklahoma State (2)

I forgot the Pokes were the one team in the Big XII that plays defense.

UL Monroe +10 vs. Troy (2)

Continually updating Yahoo Gamecast at 9pm on a Saturday night is not a way to make friends.

New Mexico +7 vs. Utah (2)

With TCU coming up, this was a classic let down spot for the Utes.

Tennessee +5.5 @ South Carolina (2)

Tenny has played the elite of the SEC so far. Now they are on the back end of their schedule. Is it possible they are a bit better than that 3-5 record suggests?

-Me, last Tuesday.

Um, no.

St. Louis +3 vs. Arizona (2)

I went to grab some lunch around 2:30p on Sunday. When I left, it was 7-0 Rams. By the time I got home, it was 17-7 Buzzsaw and they never looked back.

Seattle +6.5 vs. Philadelphia (3)

Seattle scored a 90 yard touchdown on their first play from scrimmage. They racked up 143 the rest of the way.

Oakland +2.5 vs. Atlanta (2)

Which is still better than the 77 yards Oakland put up the entire game. Also amusing: Oakland TOP - 14:45.

Miami +3 @ Denver (2)

Miami should be in the ACC as schizophrenic as they are.
