Senatobia leads IAHS 28-0 at the half.

USM leads 21-9 at the half. Frank Gore Jr. has 1 rushing TD and 2 passing TDs.

Southern Miss is at Louisiana Tech tonight. Both teams have stunk it up this season, but nice efforts last weekend. I'd like to see Will Hall pick up this win tonight.

2 other games that could be interesting: #10 Wake Forest at Clemson- Clemson favored by 4.5 Iowa State at #13 Chokelahoma- Chokelahoma favored by 3.5

This next to last week is always a stinkfest of games with a handful of SEC matchups. SEC teams playing OOC games should win easily this weekend. Ole Miss and Bama should be winning fairly easily. Auburn wins, doesn't cover. Florida/Missouri... who knows? Like you, I definitely like Missouri to cover if not win. I lean towards Florida wins the next two. Muffins has a way of pulling out wins when his seat starts warming up. Ohio State/Sparty. I like Sparty to cover also, and somewhat lean they pull the upset. I'm rooting for Utah, but picking Oregon in a close one. I also like the SMU upset pick over Cincy.

True, and there's also a chance I'll win the Powerball. MSU's chances of a Sugar Bowl this year is about the same.

CFP rankings are out. Ole Miss #12 and MSU #25.

If the Connerly Trophy vote was today, Corral and shouldn't be close. We'll see what happens the next two weeks though. 2 other names that should be considered: Sam Williams and Charles Cross. I'd put both of these ahead of Rogers and Cross ahead of Williams.

Ole Miss is #10 in the AP and Coaches Polls. I figure #13 in the CFP poll. Win the next two and Ole Miss gets a NY6 bowl, which would be a great second year for Lane.

It's an odd year for sure.

Huge wins by MSU and OM today. Nice effort by USM.

Halftime thoughts on Ole Miss/A&M. Ole Miss D has played lights out. 0 points given up and scored 2 with a safety. Outside of SCORING, the offensive stats look great for the first half. 216 passing yards, 192 rushing yards... over 400 yards of offense in a half. Only 13 points scored? I think the second half will be interesting. I can see Ole Miss pulling away but lean towards A&M starts scoring in the second half and this is a game down to the end.

USTA came back to beat USM 27-17. I didn't watch, but odd stat line. USM passed 7 times the whole game, 3 of those passes were by Frank Gore Jr (he completed 2 of 3).

I'm more of a "Candyman" fan, but nice response either way. ha

Don't forget losing to LSU in Starkville. Losing to this Arkansas team on the road isn't as bad as losing to LSU while hosting IMO. A team that won road games at Auburn and at A&M sure should have won all three. Seems like it's part of the Leach experience. Pick up some nice wins while having questionable losses.

USM is leading #23 UTSA 17-10 in the third. That's be a huge win for momentum for Hall/USM. They really need something to start going right there.

Baylor beat Oklahoma. MSU beat Auburn. Bama rolled. Michigan struggled at Penn State, but won. Florida scored 70 while giving up 52 to SAMFORD. Florida won- but still. Geesh.

McGriff D!

IAHS 30- Ripley 9. Final

UNC came back and made a game of it, tied it up in the 4th to take it to OT. Pitt won in OT. I had to look this morning because I'm old and went to bed at 9:30 last night.

The other games sure could mix up the rankings. I lean Baylor over Oklahoma also- just because Oklahoma has played with fire and just DUE a loss. Baylor is the likely one left to beat Oklahoma. Wake Forest/NC State/Pitt are in the driver's seat to win the ACC. Pitt is taking care of business tonight to win their division. Wake could wrap up their division with a win, NC State takes the lead with a win in that one. Is Purdue really a top 25 worthy team? Is Ohio State really a playoff team? While I've watched little of these two teams- the Michigan/Penn State game has a lot of potential IMO. I lean Michigan isn't a top 6 team and lean Penn State should be top 25... maybe finishes top 15 and Penn State hosts. This should be a good game to watch.

I'll take: Bama- who wouldn't? MSU- I like the matchup for MSU. Good against the run and short passes. Should be a very close game. I probably should pick Auburn at home, but like the upset potential. Florida- they're in trouble but it's Samford. UGA- it's obviously the smart pick. I do think this game will be closer than most think. I sure wouldn't bet on UT to pull the upset, but this has been a crazy season and UT would win if UGA came out flat while UT played lights out. USC- who knows. Both teams are pretty bad but USC has some confidence after last week. A&M- should be a great game. IF Corral/Sanders/Mingo/Drummond are 80% healthy to play... I'll change that pick to Ole Miss. Kentucky- Poor Vandy. Arkansas- I think. If last week's LSU team shows up, LSU wins. Pitt is rolling in the first quarter. I thought this may be a decent game. This may be an example of how far off I am with guesses this week? Ha Like Pitt/UNC, I haven't watch much at all from the other teams I listed so not picking those.

Thanks again to Dawg83 for getting this rolling this year. Since it's Thursday, I'll go ahead and start this week's thread. New Mexico State at Bama. MSU at Auburn. Samford at Florida. UGA at Tennessee. South Carolina at Missouri. A&M at Ole Miss. Kentucky at Vandy. Arkansas at LSU. Other games of interest: North Carolina at #21 Pitt just kicked off. #6 Michigan at Penn State #8 Oklahoma at #13 Baylor #19 Purdue at #4 Ohio State #16 NC State at #12 Wake Forest
