Awesome weekend! most of the good games have been mentioned.
Not sure I saw anyone call out the Memphis-Ole Miss game. Memphis is undefeated and with it only being an hour or so from Oxford, they'll definitely be fired up for it. As far as Ole Miss, when a team wins a game with a huge turnover margin, like they at Bama, I think we give them the benefit of the doubt and say they earned that win by forcing turnovers as opposed to saying they got lucky. But since then we've seen Vandy give Ole Miss a tough game and then Florida blow them out. That Bama win is looking more like luck. Not sure Ole Miss is as good as their ranking.
No mention of Penn St - Ohio St (aside from those hoping Ohio St loses). I think both teams havent played as well as their records. But they both keep finding ways to pull out victories. Would be a big win for Franklin if he can get it.
You never know with rivalries games but with the way Michigan is playing, youd think they'd roll over Sparty.
And I have to mention my alma mater Vandy. Poor Coach Mason has definitely had things not go his way as far as lucky breaks and timing of games, but he finally hits the jackpot this week playing South Carolina. A bad team that is now in disarray. If there was ever a time to get that first SEC win this is it. They've definitely looked a lot better his 2nd year. And the man can definitely coach some defense. But if they could only find some kind of consistent offense they'd easily be a 5 win team this season.

The Memphis coach Justin Fuentes might be the hot coaching name this off-season. I would imagine schools like Maryland and South Carolina will pursue him.

I was surprised to learn ABC's #1 reporting team will be at Ohio State because Penn State is not ranked. The way Ohio State has been playing this year, I can't understand why they are still #1 in the polls. Why didn't ABC pick a matchup like the Battle of Michigan or UF at LSU?
Of course, I expect the Buckeyes to win this one. But I have seen enough games this year to worry they will make the Nittany Lions look good.

ABC does not show SEC games.

What about MSU at UM? That is a Big Ten game.

Since Gameday is there, isn't it automatically on ESPN?

It can be on ABC too. I have seen that happen.
Whatever the reason, I am happy the Buckeyes game gets Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, and Heather Cox.

You know what sucks?
Not having an early game to watch, then wanting to watch two games that are played at the same time. I can only watch one quarter of the UF/LSU game before switching to ABC at 8:00. So I have nothing to do until 3:30 and too much after 8:00. What is the big deal with everyone playing night games now?
Maybe I can watch more of the Gators and Tigers during the PSU/OSU halftime report, but not much with a maximum of 15 minutes to do it.

First world problems!

So who do you all think will win the Battle of Michigan? Do you think any undefeated teams not in the SEC will lose?

Michigan is favored by 7.5. I wouldnt bet on that line. I think Michigan wins but I dont feel strongly about it. And 7.5 points is a lot to give.
10-17-2015, 01:44 PM
Memphis giving Ole Miss a game... said earlier this could be a good game. Rebellious Black Bears jumped up to a 14-0 lead but Memphis put up the next 17 points. And they've got all the momentum. Memphis is really fired up now too. This is easily their biggest game of the season. Ole Miss will need to match this energy or they wont come back.
Memphis just scored again.... 24-14 now unless this gets overturned by replay... looked like a TD at first....

Wow. MSU is still ranked higher (7) than Michigan (12). The Wolverines should not be favored by that much.
We will find out if the Spartans are overrated today. They have not been looking good recently.

Isn't Memphis undefeated? I know Ole Miss isn't.

Go Mountaineers! They are only down by 17 in the third quarter - not bad against Baylor. Who thinks they can pull off an upset?

Another overrated SEC team? Shocking.
