The Houston-Cincy game was a great game to watch for most of the way....

Will watch Louisville-FSU in morning out here, then Bulls.

We need Ohio State to pound OU into the dirt. This will make the B12 think twice about not expanding their conference (with OU out of the playoff picture, the conference is in real danger of being left out this year).

As for the FSU game, we need an FSU blowout or a really close game and somebody wins with one second to go.

An FSU blowout helps us because they will be full of themselves when they roll into Tampa and will be ripe for their beating.

A close game that goes down to the wire will mean they will be exhausted and worn out and ready for their Tampa beating.

I expect a HUGE day from Dalvin Cook today! It will be a great game to watch.

 

Go Ole Miss, Oklahoma and East Carolina... I expect the UCF game to be a close game tonight.

Hoping for a win by NIU today
