College football game week 3 (Sept. 18th)
What are your predictions for the most notable (non-Michigan) college games of week 3?
- Michigan State @ Miami-Florida: Really don't know what to expect from this one. I'll give the slight edge to the Hurricanes for being the home team but I'd prefer it if Sparty looks like crap. Miami by 3.
- Cincinnati @ Indiana: This game might have been interesting to watch if it wasn't on the same time as ours. I'll say Indiana by 10.
- Tulsa @ Ohio State: No need to even bother watching. The Bucks will have their sh*t together this week and who the hell needs to see that? Ohio State by 35.
- Nebraska @ Oklahoma: Sooners win easy. Yet another game that would have been fun to watch if it wasn't on the same time as ours. Oklahoma by 28.
- Purdue @ Notre Dame: The Boilers have played well so far and Notre Dame has barely escaped both weeks. This only means ND is going to play better just to tick me off. ND by 13.
- Auburn @ Penn State: Auburn has scored 122 points through two games but it's been against cupcakes. This one may be interesting for a little while but not the outcome I want. Penn State by 9.
- Alabama @ Florida: The media is desperately trying to hype this game and the usual song and dance the commentators will do pretending anybody has a shot against the Tide will be laughable. Alabama by 30.
Honorable mention -
Delaware @ Rutgers: Just to see our "rival" play against a blue and yellow team with winged helmets before they play us? Rutgers is going to be 3-0 going into our game and like Northern Illinois, is not as bad as we thought they were two weeks ago. Rutgers by 14.

MSU-Miami : We don’t really know how good MSU is since they’ve played two crap teams, but they’re absolutely better than they were last year. Miami looked like shit against Alabama, but in their defense so does everyone, and then App State is a good Sun Belt team they beat a week after a huge emotional letdown. The cynic in me says MSU by a TD, but I’d rather go with what makes me happy, so Miami by 4.
Cincinnati - IU - Cincinnati by a TD. I think this year is a return to poor damn Indiana.
Tulsa - OSU - OSU by a lot. They’ll give up some points but this wont be even remotely close. I’m guessing OSU 56, Tulsa 17.
Nebraska - Oklahoma - this game will go one of two ways, both of which involve Nebraska losing. One is where they come out inspired, hang around for a half and then get put out to pasture by the fourth quarter, something to the tune of 49-28. The other is a historic beat down where Frost is let go after the game, something to the tune of 56-17. I’m actually leaning towards the former.
Purdue - ND - sure doesn’t seem like ND is that good this year. Or it at least isn’t a top-10 team. But through some more luck of the Irish BS they’ll weasel their way to 3-0. 31-21 ND
Auburn - PSU - this game could be very, very intriguing. Auburn has an offense but they’ve played no one. Penn State’s defense is legit but the offense looks very meh, and Franklin’s bonehead in game coaching decisions are well documented. There are scenarios where Auburn wins this game, but a night game white out? Don’t count on it. Auburn is in it until midway through the fourth but PSU pulls away 28-17.
Alabama-Florida - Alabama. By a lot. They are the only complete team in America.

Auburn has faced exactly 0 adversity so far this year. Their first mistake will be made in front of 100k+ hostile fans. I don't see this going well for Auburn.
