Gut-check Saturday, Prove-It Saturday, Separation Saturday ... call it what you will. I'm calling it don't-go-anywhere-but-sit-in-front-of-TV Saturday.

So many games, so few TV's.

Here's here you're picking in all today's big one's:

73% Wisconsin

84% Kansas State

62% Georgia

86% Oklahoma

71% Clemson

72% Rutgers

87% Ohio State

85% LSU

66% Missouri

I think we can all agree that it's not going to go according to plan. Whatever it is you're watching, feel free to discuss it here.

3	Pullin for the Tigers in this one...girlfriend is a Florida alum; have a good bet going.

10/6/07

0	Illini continue to impress.

10/6/07

0	Ugh. Northwestern 13-6 right now. Spartans defense is looking very much like it did last week. This could be a very high scoring game.

10/6/07

0	Seriously... what the heck happened to the Wisconsin defense?

10/6/07

0	Illinois looks real good.

10/6/07

0	Its really starting to get ridiculous. The worst part is that the offense hasn't even showed up.

2	I cant watch....I cant watch....I cant watch....I cant watch....I cant watch

10/6/07

0	Finally a bounce that goes our way... a really big bounce.

10/6/07

0	I just turned to the Miami game. WOW!

10/6/07

0	27-0 UNC is up and just picked off the Kyle Wright pass. Yikes.

10/6/07

0	Kansas is marching on K-State with :25 seconds in the half. This has been a good game

10/6/07

0	Where is everyone?

10/6/07

0	TD Kansas, Tie game going into half.

10/6/07

0	I feel a little bit better about the Badgers going into halftime. We've been a 2nd half team this year.

10/6/07

0	Yes! A repeat of Lou's pep talk.

10/6/07

1	I really want to know how Lou ripped that paper up.

10/6/07

0	I guess Butch Davis wanted to make a statement to his former school. W.o.w.

10/6/07

0	Do any of you know how Lou Holtz did that magic trick? He is the best magician since ever.

10/6/07

0	Georgia Tech is puzzling. If they want to play they're great ... but they seemed to be undecided on that. I think they'll still come back and beat Maryland.

10/6/07

0	Eastern Michigan 14, Michigan 16. I wouldn't even care if the Cubs lost if they happened. Ok, that's a lie ... but not by much.

10/6/07

0	Apparently you can buy "Oklahoma Sucks" Beer

10/6/07

Scott

0	Zook has got to teach this team to play to win, not play to not lose

10/6/07

0	Ugh... c'mon Wisconsin. You're better than this.

10/6/07

0	Wisconsin needs to realize they are the better team when they play their game and not go for two in that situation... now Illinois has all the momentum again.

10/6/07

0	Northwestern 34 Michigan St 27 -4th Quarter 12 minutes left Game is FAR from over

10/6/07

0	Wisconsin got a bit of a gift on that call. Beckum's reaction should've been enough to overturn the call.

10/6/07

0	52-17 BC 5 Ints by the Defense, 2 for touchdowns 304 Passing Yards for Matt Ryan, 4 TD's The Starters are on the bench.

I think Ringer is one of the more underrated running backs in the country. 11 carries, 171 yards. granted it's northwestern but he did this last week against wisconsin, too.

10/6/07

0	TD NW 41-34

10/6/07

0	CJ Bacher 400+ yards passing!!

10/6/07

0	The Big Ten has turned into the WAC... its fun to watch, but definitely not what I've grown up watching. Seriously... Illinois is giving us chances to win right now and we're giving them right back.

10/6/07

0	I'm going to vomit.

10/6/07

0	TD MSU 41-41

10/6/07

0	Assuming Ohio State wins tonight, they're going to run away with the Big Ten.

10/6/07

0	I think everyone outside of OSU fan's is a Purdue fan tonight. An Ohio State loss gives everyone another chance.

0	South Carolina @ Wake Maryland @ NCST @ GT dook I am feeling a win in Raleigh, against dook, upset against GT, and at Wake to send the Tar Heels into a bowl.

0	Sooners are marching after forcing a fumble on the 5 when Texass was driving.

10/6/07

0	Murray has ridiculous breakaway speed. Wish I got to see him play when he was still in high school.

10/6/07

0	Tryon picks it off and runs it back for a touchdown! 14-10 ASU Could have done without the taunting though... Coach Erickson is not happy with that.

10/6/07

0	TD Sooners. 28-21 with about 10 mins go after a great TD throw from Bradford to Kelly. WHOOOO.

10/6/07

0	INT SOONERS!!!!!

10/6/07

1	INT Oklahoma. I hope Texas drops out of the top 25 when they lose.

10/6/07

0	WSU misses a field goal to tie, ASU hangs on 23-20. Not pretty, but a win is a win. 6-0!

10/6/07

0	ASU didn't look that good today but they pulled off a W, so thats all that counts.

10/6/07

0	It would figure that the one game everyone watches, ASU isn't impressive at all. Carpenter looked like crap, but the defense was pretty good as it has been all year.

10/6/07

0	Nick S wrote: Purdue is a joke and they are proving it. 14-0 OSU. Is a team REALLY a joke when they are down by 14 to a team who is ranked 19 spots ahead of them? Or are they just losing, just like they should, to a better team?

(Edited by Janse)

Cardinals have the fumble! Can they take the lead?

This USC defense is amazing against the run or the pass. It's their offense that is going to keep them from winning the championship this season.

Booty intercepted again; he is the reason why this offense plays so poor. They may not have a main running back, but they have 3 that could start on most teams in the country. It's all on that big booty.

Now Mays with the pick. Again, the USC defense is just that good. Partial credit for this Stanford offense looking so bad goes to themselves, of course.

10/6/07

0	Heh. Tebow just pulled off a... Tebow play. Quick release he has.

10/6/07

0	I will say though that I made the mistake of pulling for Tennessee against the Gators earlier in the year; that one was a much smaller bet, but I was forced to wake up at 5am every morning Sunday till that next Saturday; breakfast in bed, and Mon-Sat; newspaper in mouth...

10/6/07

Stanford is driving right now. Three straight first downs, a run for one, and then a deep pass that brought them down inside their five. After that Trojan TD, what a way to reply if your offense, which had around 60 total yards, drives all the way down the field and scores a touchdown.

And touchdown. Stanford down three with the XP to kick. If Booty can keep being overrated, Stanford might be able to pull this off. In the Colosseum furthermore.

10/6/07

0	As far as this bet goes; atleast as a guy, I'm pretty simple when it came to my side of the bet...just the girlfriend; she's evil when it comes to this stuff..sitting there for an hour or two with a notebook and pen laughing to herself thinking of hundreds of things to do. I'm a little scared as we're in halftime.

10/6/07

0	YEAH! Play stands. 1:39 left and Stanford is on the nine yard line. I love college football!

10/6/07

0	Love the announcer -- "TOUCHDOWN USC!!!...I mean...uh...Stanford"

10/6/07

0	I felt like Jimmy V just now. Stanford got that TD and I ran around my house looking for someone to hug. No one was there. Extra point is GOOD! Stanford has the lead with 49 seconds left.

10/6/07

0	Wait a min I finally found it. It is on Versus. I actually have that channel.

10/6/07

10/6/07

0	"Biggest upset in college football for 2007"...there's been so many already; I might put that one Michigan team up there above though...

10/6/07

0	Number one and two going down in the same day? This is matching last week because of the teams that have/might lose.

10/6/07

0	So there is going to be what, 9-10 teams with 1 loss this year?

10/6/07

0	Wow, USC lost to Stanford. Maybe this year will FINALLY prove to those idiots that they should change the BCS...but probably not...

10/6/07

10/6/07

Todd

1	USC lays an egg. I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!!!!!!!!! This makes up for the loss to Cal last week. The Bears, Sun Devils (or Ducks) could be the next Pac-10 champs!

10/6/07

0	Which is more shocking, Stanford winning or the fact that Notre Dame might win?

10/6/07

0	What would be a more surprising week. Last week with how ever many teams loss in the top 25 or LSU (1) and USC (2) going down and Notre Dame winning? Also there is other stuff that happened today, just pointing out the bigs. Maybe Kansas staying undefeated could be there.

10/6/07

0	Nick S wrote: Should BC be ranked 3rd if LSU loses?? I see no reason why they shouldn't. Everyone ahead of them have L's except for OSU and Cal. Cal number one? When was the last time that happened.

10/6/07

0	Notre Shame is winning 20-6. WOW! That might be good for BC, because if they were 0-6 going into the BC game it would probably be their Superbowl and they would probably be trying to repay BC for what they did to them and Lou Holtz. But now it might not be. Oh and they are winning with 113 total yards. WOW.

10/6/07

0	The entire second half of that USC game has drained me. There is a great SEC battle going on and I can't seem to get excited. Ohh well, I will take USC losing any day.
