Guess we will find out if Arizona State is much improved or if Wyoming is just really, really, bad. ASU dominated them last week. Wyoming had just 118 yards. That is god awful. I'm thinking ASU has a defense. I know Wyoming isn't expected to be great, but holding anyone to 118 yards is crazy in today's modern day football.

I hope Okie State shows up strong.
Pitt and Cincy...Hmmm might be fun to watch that one.
If Baylor beats Utah....Nah Utah at home. Could be a blood bath.
Dammit ISU, it is time!!
The KU/Illinois line is closer than I thought it would be. Gonna be a good one.
Prime beats NU because they have more negative Karma than Prime does.
It would be hilarious if Houston surprises OU, but I doubt it. I want OU and UT to do well this year only. It would validate the Big 12.
If MacGuire loses another one, he might be gone.
Would love to see an ASU win there, but...

TM, the other thing this listing shows is the financial clout of the Big 10 with CBS, NBC, and Fox putting Big 10 teams in great times and huge networks.

That Arizona State line surprises me too. I know Mississippi State likely lost some of their better players off of last year's squad. But to be that far down against the ASU Sun Devils, that's quite a plummet IMO.

I just checked the CBS Sports line on this game, and it's moved to ASU being a 6-point favorite (-6) over Mississippi State. There must be something going on there.

On their Elite Dawgs site, they said something about Dinkins being injured and not playing. I did some other research & he's some D-lineman. Can't see how a DL not playing would cause the line to move like that. Yeah, the Sun Devils beat up on Wyoming. But, Wyoming is simply terrible; they're probably one of the worst FBS teams in the nation this season.

I drove to Starkville, MS once and only ONCE..! That town's so far out in the middle of nowhere Mississippi, and the town, makes Manhattan seem like the Las Vegas strip. There's nothing there but the college & about four hotels. That's the joke at Miss State- and they call it Stark Vegas!
