Chance Harper - Oklahoma State has given Colt McCoy and the Longhorns quite a scare the last two seasons only to come up short in close losses to their Big 12 South rivals.

Chance Harper - It's almost like Midseason Bowl Saturday with this week's college football schedule.  First up is the Red River Rivalry in Dallas between OU and Texas which should segue nicely to Pete Carroll's USC Trojans traveling to face the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame in the shadows of Touchdown Jesus.  And the day culminates with a key ACC contest in Atlanta where Georgia Tech hosts Virginia Tech.

Chance Harper - Tebow or not Tebow, that is the big question for this week's marquee game on the college football slate when Florida travels to Baton Rouge to meet up with the LSU Tigers.

Chance Harper - Pete Carroll knows his USC Trojans face a tough road if they are going to continue their run of outright or shared Pac-10 football titles.  That road will be especially tough this week when the Men of Troy travel to Cal to meet Jeff Tedford's Bears on Saturday night.  But first up on the Week 5 schedule is an SEC thriller down in Athens, GA, where Joe Cox and the Bulldogs entertain Les Miles and the LSU Tigers.

Peter Loshak - Readers should be aware that this week's college football video preview with Peter Loshak and Justin7 heavily mentions Friday's game between Utah St. and BYU.  You've been warned.

Chance Harper - Oklahoma could have Sam Bradford back in action this Saturday when the Sooners travel to Miami to meet the Hurricanes.  Is Bradford returning to the gridiron too soon?

Jim Feist - It happens each and every September.  Schools ranked high in the polls take it on the chin from upset-minded upstarts, if only to remind us all the game is played on the field and not strictly on paper.

Cougars to win the BCS?

09/29/2009 12:00 AM
nobs - No, that's not the actual bet SBR poster nobs made, but getting the Field for +15000 with the 12-ranked University of Houston Cougars part of that field just might not be such a longshot after all.

Chance Harper - USC's loss last week to Washington has thrown the Pac-10 race wide open and made this weekend's contest in Oregon between the Ducks and Bears one of the top game's on the Saturday slate.  Jeff Tedford has No. 6 Cal in the driver's seat for the conference title right now, but that could change in an instant on the plastic grass at Autzen Stadium where Ducks quarterback Jeremiah Masoli is thinking upset.

Jim Feist - Handicappers too often look only at the matchup at hand without considering the bigger picture and a team's overall schedule.  Look-ahead spots and sandwich games can't be overlooked.

Chance Harper - It's not too often that a game in which one team is favored by more than four touchdowns makes the 'must-see' list, but such is the case of Saturday's SEC tilt in Gainesville between Forida and Tennessee.  Heisman candidate Tim Tebow leads the No. 1 Gators against the Vols, but the real excitement here surrounds the two coaches, Urban Meyer and Lane Kiffin.  The drama unfolds at 3:30 (ET) on CBS.

Chance Harper - It appears the fight is back in the Irish after Notre Dame took Nevada to the woodshed in a 35-0 whitewashing last week.  Jimmy Clausen & Co. figure to face a bit tougher opponent on Saturday when Notre Dame travels to Ann Arbor to meet the Wolverines, with Michigan also off a rather easy Week 1 win over Western Michigan, 31-7.  ABC has all the action from The Big House in Ann Arbor beginning at 3:30 p.m. (Eastern).

Chance Harper - It's just Week 2 of the college football season and yet there will be a bowl game atmosphere in Columbus this Saturday night when Ohio State hosts Southern Cal.  The Buckeyes might have been caught looking ahead to this one after squeaking past Navy last week while the Trojans ran a vanilla offense in an easy 56-3 rout of San Jose St.  This Saturday's forecast calls for rain at Ohio Stadium along with a USC victory.

Chance Harper - Two top-notch coaches and two of the nation's toughest defenses are set to battle in the Georgia Dome on Saturday when the No. 5 Crimson Tide meet the No. 7 Hokies in Week 1's best matchup.  Frank Beamer and Virginia Tech enter as near-TD underdogs despite back-to-back Orange Bowl appearances.  Making the trip up from Tuscaloosa, Nick Saban and Alabama have high hopes for this season and will be tested out of the gate.

Bob Harvey - Kyle Whittingham and the Utes carry a 14-game overall win streak and series dominance into Thursday's battle against Utah State at Rice-Eccles Stadium.

Chance Harper - Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli doesn't remember much about last year's meeting between the Ducks and Boise St. Broncos.  A late hit put him on the sidelines early with a concussion, and Boise St. went on to a 37-32 win that wasn't really that close.  Tonight on the Smurf Turf in Boise where the home team sports a 50-game, regular season win streak, Masoli & Co. would like to give the Broncs a loss they won't forget.

Peter Loshak - A brand new season of college football begins tonight and what better way to get things rolling that with some capping input from SBR's Peter Loshak and Justin7.

Vegas Dave -

Boise State beat Oregon on their own turf last year, and the Ducks would love to return the favor this year. Cal losing as a 14 point favorite to Maryland is fresh on their mind, too.

Joe Duffy - One must be very careful when using raw numbers to handicap football, as it is common for teams to accumulate better stats vs. weak opponents. Thus, stats need to be adjusted.

Joe Duffy - It used to be that pro bettors had an edge by simply keeping tabs on the events surrounding their local teams, but the Internet Age changed all that. This is not to say edges no longer exist.

LT Profits Sports Group - The Mountain West gave a great account of itself last year, as 14-game winner and Sugar Bowl victors Utah were joined by TCU and BYU in having excellent seasons.
