Any thoughts? I can see Ohio beating Penn State and WMU taking out Timmah & the Illini...NIU has a shot against Iowa as well. Obviously would love to see BG win but we'll have to play a perfect game. We have a chance...what about tsun? I don't know how good Arizona is supposed to be this year but usually tsun plays pretty well vs BCS teams.

LOVE the fact BG has the 3:30 slot on ESPN!! GO FALCONS!!!!!!!!!

Iowa is down to a fifth string tailback after injuries and arrests. He was recruited as a wide out. Iowa has great lines but overall depth is a problem. And its Iowa, they are hit and miss. Gotta think NIU has a fighting chance if their offense reloads fast.

I like WMU and that's about it, OU might give PSU a fight, but I gotta believe PSU plays hard and hungry with a chip on their shoulder this year. That will be an emotional game and the Bobkitties may have their hands fun. Toledo could put up a fight too now that Foles is gone and their offense might struggle under Rich Rod to open the season.
