MICHIGAN STATE 28, Western Michigan 3

  And a one winged bird won’t fly.

Back in the day the U.S. had a jet called the flying wing. The Sparties have a good defense. It will win the game for them.

Army 24, Michigan 33:


Army is a good team. But they're going to lose to the Wolverines. The Michigan defense will be one of the best in college football statistically this season.


THE 34, Cincinnati 17:


I like the THE, funny stuff dude. I think Fields is going to be a great player. He'll pass, and run, just as much as needed. The OSU defense intrigues me.  Cincy won't be able to hang with the Buckeyed.

Penn State 32, Buffalo 13:


Not impressed with the Lions yet. But I'm optimistic.


Clemson 30, Texas A&M 31:


Yep. I wrote it and I even believe it.

.

Louisiana State 27, Texas 26:


Much like the Auburn/Oregon game had the feel of a college football playoff elimination game so does this one. Texas has the home field advantage. LSU has IMO the better defense. But the Horns will be fired up more than usual. The game will probably come down to the last few minutes and whether a team scores or is stopped.


Stanford 26, Southern California 27:


I like the USC Frosh QB. He has good pocket instinct and feels pressure well. And when he does he keeps his head level while moving and is accurate on those moving passes. If that big beefy OL of his can play a decent game I think he'll do enough to beat the Cardinal.




Syracuse 27, Maryland 20:

The new Cuse QB is not the runner his predecessor was. And that hurts. Still I like that Cuse D.


Minnesota 21, Fresno State 12:

Okay so Steve picked the Gophers. If he's willing to do it so am I.   


Colorado 24, Nebraska 23:

I think this game will be close and I want to take Nebraska. I just can't seem to make my fingers do it.



Brigham Young 20, Tennessee 34:

Yes Tennessee looked terrible last week. But they aren't that bad. I expect some fire out of them in this one.

Washington 42, Cal 17:

Washington is a well balanced well coached team with a sprinkling of NFL caliber players here and there.

Arkansas 10, Old Mississippi 5:

I'm not sure I care any more that Steve does. I expect he put this game in there just so he can denigrate a couple of SEC teams.


Vandy 29, Purdue 24:


Me on the other hand am a fair minded guy. I'll make fun of both conferences. How bad did Vandy look in the Georgia game? Like Rocky Balboa chasing the chicken. Purdue? Well they certainly know how to choke. If they lose this game their bowl hopes are probably out the window even this early in the year. And they might as well be doing something with their chicken too.

I come down on the side of FAINT being the correct usage.

Normally I look on people that nitpick about spelling and grammar as slightly annoying.

I know what you are saying, but I actually like a well thought out discussion like this.  There are a lot of examples in the English language where a homonym  (or even a similar sounding but not phonetically exact match) is used by some people as the de facto standard for the expression.  I sort of find it fascinating to hear the speculation of how one arises vs the other.  Many times they are both "ok" in their own way.

One example that comes to mind is "We need to flush/flesh out that example further."  Heard it both ways and they both could be appropriate
 - Flush: it is murky and flushing it out will clarify/make it more clear
 - Flesh: it is a skeleton idea and needs more meat on the bones

Just like I predicted. Locksley was a brilliant hire!
