Penn State isn't as good as I thought either.

I'm about a career 48% ATS football handicapper. I don't even know exactly why I bother to watch this nonsense.....if I can't figure out how to make anything on it.

Something about being a fan and all.

Even if I start betting the opposite team of who I like - at about a 52% clip - I'm not doing anything good either.

My rare, bright, bet the Patriots every week theory seems to already be losing its value as well. They are ridiculous favorites in a divison game.

yeah, i can't believe penn state lost today to michigan. but michigan winning helps their coaches cause, which helps MY cause as an lsu fan!! maybe the talk of a coaching change will cease since the wolverines have beaten the #10 team....but i still hate that it was the nittany lions that they beat.

I think they can name Scavs the head coach at LSU and still have an excellent team year in and year out.

Gators played like crapola today too... hopefully, they'll learn from this and move forward.

i think you say good bye to les miles at the end of the season. lsu will make a run at the national championship, they are easily in the top 3 and should expose the gators in a couple weeks.

the whole big 10 is average at best this season. the best team is probably osu.
and nd still sucks !

What do you mean "expose" the Gators? The Gators have very little shot at a repeat of the National Title. It's been no secret that they're a very young team and have made a ton of mistakes. I haven't heard anyone proclaiming the Gators as the top team in the SEC this season.

no one here has proclaimed, they'd defend but sports radio has them defending their championship. i just don't think they are as good as the scores they are running up. ole miss had no business being that close today. they'll win the SEC east again.

See, as a Gator, even I'm not that certain. South Carolina (even with today's loss to a monster team in LSU) looks to be a legit team and we might have some problems with them. Hell, we technically SHOULD have lost that game last season in the Swamp.

the only thing that stops lsu is a couple major injuries. sc defense is nice but not great and they have touble scoring points. ut looks slow and makes to many mistakes on and off the field. uk looks like the team to worry about in the east.
