🏈 GAME THREADS: SEC and NCAA — Week 3

[TerryP]

My eyes on are UCLA vs Texas.

Watching 'ville vs VA, Maryland vs WVU, and Penn State vs Rutgers...but it's not for entertainment purposes only.

I hope UofSC and UGA ends up being a ball game...but fear it won't be.

Very curious about UMass at Vandy. Sagarin, who ranks both 1A and 1AA together, has UMass ranked #213, which is last in 1A. He has EIGHTY FIVE 1AA teams ranked ahead of UMass. He ranks Vandy at #132, with TWENTY SIX 1AA teams ranked ahead of them.

There is a Vandy fan on an SEC board that says he is taking the +17 points and UMass and winning back every dollar he has ever lost gambling on football. He expects Vandy to lose by 20 points. I tend to agree with him because UMass scored more points(38) on Colorado than did Dee Hart and Colorado State(31). The grand total of 10 points that Vandy has scored this season were gifts. They recovered a fumble in the end zone against Temple, and wound up kicking a FG after recovering a fumble on the Ole Miss 5 yard line.

@252BAMA I looked at that game more than once before I eventually moved away from playing. IF Vandy chooses to run the ball, which they can, there's a different team than we've seen the last two weeks. So many get all caught up in our QB shuffle—it pales in comparison.

It's my opinion that people are discounting what the ruling means to Penn State this week. They're giving three to Rutgers and my gut tells me it's not going to be that close.

 

[252BAMA]

I can see Vandy winning a close game. Covering 17 points? No.

 

[252BAMA]

You know how I love me some home team underdogs. Not only covering but winning straight up. I'm thinking Fresno State+10 vs. Nebraska does just that.

Giving it my old dog track analysis, I see a couple of "B" dogs that have been running out of class. 'Nebraska' has been running schooling races against "D" dogs and it is hard to get back up to speed facing "B' dogs. 'Fresno' has been running in "A" and getting smoked, but those "B" dogs don't seem all that fast when you've been running against "A" dogs.

I take it you like SC against UGA.

And that would be because the game is at Rutgers. Would be PSU -7 at home , so you probably are right.

I can't get a handle on WVU-MD. MD beat them 37-0 last year and returned more starters than did WVU. Why do I even think WVU has a chance?

ECU up 14-0 on [HASHTAG]#17[/HASHTAG] VA Tech

 

[PhillyGirl]

UMass up 7-0 on Vandy about halfway through 1st

 

[PhillyGirl]

UMass up 14-0 now.

VA Tech's offense is really limp ..

 

[psychojoe]

UCF and ZOU living up to expectations so far. 10-7 UCF.

 

[psychojoe]

Vandy just got first offensive TD of season.

 

[PhillyGirl]

21-0 Pirates over Hokies

Vandy just got a fumble TD, missed XP .. 17-13 UMass

WVU up 28-6

 

[PhillyGirl]

Hokies have 2 first downs on 6 possessions.

What happened to their offense???

 

[bama alum]

Not watching the Vandy game, but I am seeing the score on the crawl. Tony Barnhart said that Mason burned a QB's redshirt and then put his starter back in. This is UMass and they're losing at the half. The only reason it's a close game is because of the fumble recovery TD that Vandy got earlier. What is going on with Vandy? They're horrible and apparently dysfunctional, too.

Andre Ware keeps claiming that UK will beat UF tonight.
