What a week we had, can this one beat it? Don’t think so but this weekend should still be a fun one for college football fans.

We have lots of teams trying to become bowl eligible and others pushing for a high profile bowl or even a shot at the playoff. Some others are just trying to keep their coach from getting fired.

The MAC starts us this week with games on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Thursday also gives us North Carolina (4-5) at Pitt (6-3) Friday doesn’t get any better. Pretty dull slate until Saturday.

Saturday makes up for the weeknight games with multiple match-up featuring two top 25 teams. Highlight of the day should be Georgia (4) at Auburn (12.) Auburn would love to knock of a top 5 team and quiet some of those questioning the future of HC Gus Malzahn.

If you like defense don’t bother with (10) Oklahoma at (13) Baylor, neither team plays much. Baylor has lived the dream this year playing a soft as cake schedule to a 9-0 record. Oklahoma is probably going to pop that streak and Baylor can just go back to being one of the most immoral programs in the country.

(23) Navy probably doesn’t have five players on their roster that (16) Notre Dame would have bothered to recruit but they usually give the Irish a tougher battle than Notre Dame wants. Like with Baylor, Nebraska, and Penn State it’s never a completely bad day with Notre Dame loses.

Two teams that are much easier to like (in part because they regularly beat up on the cornfuskers) are (8) Minnesota playing at (20) Iowa. Can Minny keep their dream season going another week (or two since they have a bad Northwestern team next week before finishing with Wisconsin.

From highlights to high score we get the mismatch of the week. (2) Ohio State dropped in the polls despite winning last week 73-14 over Maryland. This week they get a worse (hard to believe) opponent in Rutgers (2-7) and they may be out to send a message. The spread is currently at 52 (not a typo) and is probably a TD short.

A game we wouldn’t mind seeing end with a similar spread has (15) Michigan hosting cross state rival Molester (oops Michigan) State (4-5.) in what may be Dantonio’s last season in East Lansing.

We also wouldn’t mind seeing (9) Pedo State lose again but Indiana (7-2) would need step way up to do that in Happy Valley.

If you are a fan of really bad football (other than fuskers style) keep an eye on UMass (1-9) at Northwestern (1-8.) Check close and you may be able to smell it from here. No that’s just another Nebraska cheerleader.

No matter what else happens we can all enjoy watching Frosty and his crumbling corn balls get mashed by visiting (14) Wisconsin. Cornhuskers this season getting smashed more often than their fans sisters down at the truck stop. Their message boards are going to be even more fun to follow as this one likely won’t be close.

PAC 12 leaders in action trying protect their position. (6) Oregon host Arizona (4-5) and (7) Utah welcomes in UCLA (4-5.) Fighting for bowl rankings USC (6-4) goes to Cal (5-4.)

Local action includes a big MWC rivalry with AFA (7-2) going to back from the dead CSU (4-5) who could actually end up in a bowl. Wyoming (6-3) has lost 2 of their last 4 wants to get back on track at a feisty Utah State (5-4) who is aiming for bowl qualification.

In FCS the UNC Bears (2-8) are playing out the streak going to difficult North Dakota (5-4.) If you get a chance to see it look for a UND fan in CU gear selling Fleshlights. Hi @FLounder .

Last week in small college football the top of the standing stayed the same with Mines remaining undefeated beating a tough Dixie State team and CSU Pueblo one game behind after burying Black Hills 58-0. This is the last week of the regular season with Mines going to Chadron State and Pueblo hosting Western.
 
Alright Auburn, let the chaos begin.
As a former Auburn Student and a husband to a UGA alum, I have grown into a bulldog fan so this weekend is always fun for me. For the first time though I find myself rooting for UGA a little because Auburn most likely would only disrupt and would inevitably **** up any chance at a playoff run, especially not that Bama has lost.

TLDR: I don’t know who I want to win this weekend.

Step one, Auburn beats Georgia. Step two: Auburn beats Bama. Step 3: Georgia beats LSU in the title game.
 
I can't believe that Ohio State line ( -52). That is a road conference game and they are favored by 52. For reference, in 2012 we were (only) +47 @ Oregon.

The BIG's new teams weren't just for TVs. They were to give the other teams easy in conference wins.
 
On Rammie-beating AFA is a MUST for their bowl fantasies. They play Boise (who is still a contender for the G5 NY6 spot) Thanksgiving weekend.
 
Appreciate you giving some RMAC love, despite me being the only one on the board that actually cares lol
I think there is more interest than you think. A lot of us around here know people who have gone to RMAC schools or have sent their kids to them. They provide an opportunity for hundreds of local kids to go to college and participate in sports.

Unfortunately with the death of local newspapers it is hard to get quality information on them. The Denver post used to dedicate at least one full page to covering small college football every weekend and more coverage during the week. The local tv stations used to cover and have footage for at least some of the games each week.
 
Don't look now, but if ASU loses to Oregon State this weekend, their bowl game hopes are suddenly in real jeopardy.

Two or three games left in the schedule and at this point the PAC12 only has four teams with six or more wins for bowl eligibility. The conference has seven bowl tie ins.

There are two teams ASU, and Cal with five wins and six with four so they could fill all the slots but it is far from sure.

If things fall into place and the conference champ ends up in the Playoff that would add one more slot.
 
Northwestern can’t score. Favored by 40. UMass worst team ever?
LOL

I didn't look at that spread. Northwestern has scored 83 points all season and favored by 40. Crazy.

UMass has given up more than 40 in every game except Akron, the game they won 37-29.

Who would actually bet this game?

So we should be talking about whether UMASS has offered a recruit instead of Akron?

Larry's proclamation about 5-7 teams not being able to go to bowls looks brillant now doesn't it?

I might take the under in it HAHAHA
 
So, are we back to thinking Herm was a horrendous hire and we should mock ASU? I can't seem to keep it straight with how everyone thinks week to week.

Herm has proven he was not a horrendous hire, but he is also getting too much benefit of the doubt because he was mocked so much.

So far, he is pretty mediocre like every ASU coach of the last decade.

Seems like Jayden Daniels is going to determine his success. Also interesting how he also has Marvin Lewis on the staff.
 
Next year will tell a lot. ASU has taken their lumps as a young team and there will be a vacuum at the top of the South with Utah taking a step back. Daniels has all the potential in the world though.
Haven’t kept up with Utah- I assume it’s a problem with graduating a ton of seniors and not enough good back ups or what’s the deal there

Seven senior starters on defense and losing Huntley, Moss, and their starting LT. Will still be good, but not ten-win good.
