Mr. Heisman, at least for now.Houston's QB was ridiculous in the 1st half. Ward went 19/22 for 236 with 2 TDs... and ran 6 for 44 with 1 TD. Montez-esque (except at home and vs UConn, so more like Montez-lite).

Not me. Doesn't allow the defense to win games and wears those dudes out so that a good team will keep it close no matter what your offense does.
Give me Urban Meyer's system. From Bowling Green to Utah to Florida to Ohio State the dude has proved it. Smash mouth run game that sets up matchups for explosive plays all over the field. You can win 60-0. You can also win 20-17 if you need to.
However, at altitude I do think it has been smart to push pace to the highest degree possible. Somehow CU does that while often also dominating TOP. Opponents will get gassed against the Buffs. Big advantage.
sorry they're unliterally the same team....betterI don't think you understand the meaning of "literally". No, they are not literally identical teams.
This is the week we will see USC's true colors. They may fold like a cheap suit, in which case they will fold all year.
Historically, UW has been the better team. Saying they'll be put back in their spot would indicate that you think they're going to win.
I really dislike Stanford, but I can't help but think they're the PAC 12's best shot at a playoff birth.
ASU is far from a complete football team but they have some individuals who can put points on the board in a hurry.
If SC goes to 1-4 on an ugly loss (24+ point differential) would they fire Helton and name an interim this soon.
The most interesting matchups to me.
I picked Clemson over Louisville - tough to call Clemson has more talent, IMO, but Petrino is a better Xs and Os coach, Swinney is a great motivator. Great teams and great coaches. Louisville is slightly favored as the home team.
Texas against OSU - Picking the horns but it really is a toss up. It will be interesting to see which coach can get his team back on track. I think both are good coaches but Strong had an extra week to work on the defense.
Wisconsin against Michigan - okay not really that interesting - I picked Michigan over the Badgers mostly because I do not believe in the Badgers yet. I do find it interesting that Wisconsin keeps having coaches leave but keep winning.
Washington against the Stanford - already been discussed - 2 solid teams with good coaches. Washington at home gets the nod from me.
Weirdest line of the week - I keep wondering what I have missed. USC(1-3) a 10 point favorite over ASU(4-0). I just don't see it. ASU has a poor defense for sure but Graham is a good coach and will have his team ready. The Trojans seem to be a team in disarray, not sure that Helton has the leadership to fix it Do not like picking teams that have lost their mojo. I just don't see a 10 point spread. I picked ASU in the pickem but would stay away with real money.
