Notre Dame 30, USC 26


Closer than the "experts" think, eh?

man...anything could happen, but  I have  ND 35 - USC 21

(went back and looked at my calcs--that first pick was my memory of my UW score pick.  This one is probably worse)

You wanna beat the Mount you gotta cheat.

I guess the NCAA realizes it is going to have to flex its muscles at a much lower level since it is about to lose its grip entirely on FBS teams.

SMU lost Bowl eligibility last year after being upset by 2-9 Tulsa in the last game of the season.
Yesterday the Mustangs exacted revenge beating Tulsa in 3 overtimes to remain undefeated and clinch Bowl eligility at 6-0.


It probably would not have gone to overtime if the SMU kick returner hadn't stood there looking at a live football like it was a punt.  I doubt he will be returning any kicks soon.

might be time to consider taking the underdog for any spread over 10 points in the Pac 12

Washington has improved every game.

We're saving our dry powder for the Pac-12 championship game.   Letting them win at home will lull them into a false sense of security.

Washington 31, University of California* 21

I admit not having full information on the QB for the Trojans, but it looks like they might be starting their second second string quarterback.  Washington took down a BYU team that beat SC the week before.  I am not a fan of the transitive properties of wins, but I will go with that, plus the home field, this week.

* Southern


We are pretty close on this.  I had UW 34 USC 24.

It is our third string QB, btw.  Our 2nd string is still not cleared to play. If he is unavailable as a backup, we are looking at a walk on QB that converted to safety a year or two ago as the backup.

But our 3rd string QB is pretty good.  I think that may have hurt Utah actually since they prepared for Slovis and wound up with Fink. Fink is a running QB and so that may actually be handy against UW's three man front.

Hairy is right about inter-conference scheduling.

...and...I think I just felt a disturbance in the space time continuum

I wonder what the record for most touchdowns thrown in a loss is.

9 is a pretty safe bet

 I'm still waiting for the Trojan talent on the defensive side to shine.

I thought they played well yesterday.  They gave up a lot of yards, but they made critical stops in the red zone again and again.

Oregon 31, Stanford 18


Stanford is looking terrible. Shaw looks to be getting shanked in this one too.

The thing with the Pac 12 is ...just when you think something is obvious...it changes.

Boise, Utah.

I would have been ok with you taking BYU last week.   But I would take USC at home for this one.

The biggest problem with USC football right now is that literally anything could happen though.
