After a glance, I like:
BG -23.5 (against Buffalo)
Akron +9 (against NC State )???
Duke +19.5 (against Wake)
Ole Miss +10 (against Mizzou)
Miami Oh +17 (against Purdue)
UVA - 9 (against Wyo--I never bet on UVA when favored unless it is just rediculous, but incase others care, I do like that spread)
Penn State +7.5 (against ND...I'm swinging on this one)
LSU -15.5 (against Zona)
Texas - 2.5 (against Osu..I know, tekeini, I'm an idiot and there is no way Texas can compete with the Gods in Columbus, but other people, what do you think? If the line drops under 2 I'm definately putting money on Texas.)

I also like PSU getting more than a TD. That's a pretty good team, especially a good defense. They struggled offensively against Akron, but I think they can keep the game within a TD.

Personally, I like OSU in the OSU-UT game. Basically, after watching the NIU game I will take OSU any time they are getting points this year (and this will likely be the last time, barring a NC appearance). In big games I'll take the Senior QB who's getting points over the unproven guy.

Not sure I like BG or Miami of the picks you had. Other than that, I'm on board with most of 'em.

I took Wy +15 at UVA, I dont know if I would take UVA to cover 9, bc Wy is a pretty solid team. Duke might be a good pick just bc its a rivarly and WF doesnt score much, but then again Duke got beat by 1-AA Richmond 19-0 or something bad like that. Ole Miss is a good pick they are really underrated right now. I think Miami O is a bad pick, PU has a great offense this year, and Miami only scored a FG at home against NW.... PSU +7.5 isnt a bad pick bc like hammb says their D should keep them in the game. I also like OSU and points, I think they want revenge for last year, and McCoy has never played in a big time game and Smith has.

i dont think the zips will beat NC State and will lose this one by more than 9 pts. Miami of Ohio on the other hand will do well against Purdue and will cover that spread.
i am intersted in seeing how ohio does at NIU, this will be a good indicator of how much ohio has grown in the off season, i think it will be closer than what the 14 spread is listed at.
i like the Irish and the PSU matchup, the Irish will have thier hands full and this will be a great game, irish win this one.
Texas and ohio State this is a tough call for me my gut is telling me the team that wins this one will some how win (big) by big I mean by 10pts or more. Bad thing is i can not decied which team that wil be. I am leaning and hoping for Texas.
Looking forward to the start of Ivy league football on the 16th,and The U Maine black Bears open this weekend at youngstown state, go Bears!

Amato is a bad coach, they struggled with their 1-AA team last week, I think Akron will stay in the game and may even win. I wasn't too sue about Purdue, but looks like I will stay away from that one. I know UVA isn't a good team this year, but if they don't cover against Wyoming, then they are done. Wyoming is a bad team. 2 years ago they were solid, but now they suck again. There are no excuses for losing to a 1-AA team, but Duke did lose their top 2 running backs early in the game and had a freshman QB getting his first start. also Wake lost Mauck, and barely beat a Syracuse team that isn't much better than Richmond. I have to find out if any of them are playing before I put money on it, but early on I like it. I like Texas getting homefield...I know OSU travels well, but they aren't gonna have 30-40K fans in the stadium. Tedd Ginn will be a non factor against Texas' Defense.

Just remember that UT's #1 DB, the guy who was being counted on to shadow Ginn, has been suspended for the game as well.

To say that the fastest player in college football isnt going to be a factor in a big game is a pretty bold statement. Im sure OSU gets him the ball and he makes a play somewhere during the game.

Smith is going to be under a lot of presure from that Texas front & some of the blitz packages. the same goes to texas having some fits with the OSU D.

its just gona be a dam good game, one heck of a good game...and its all football.

Amato is a bad coach, well, that may be true as long as the Wolfpack aren't facing Florida State. He owns Bobby Bowden.
