And to think, this is a Conference Game ...

Then again, why not?

CUSA and the AAC are setup similarly.

The ACC is coast to coast.

And there was a time where Idaho was in the Sun Belt

Yep, lack of familiarity with teams causes some head scratching. TCU hasn’t shown much since they ‘fired’ Gary Patterson and Colorado beat them last year, while UCF, as I understand it, is a speed and quickness team……. I’m thinking if Colorado beat them in Fort Worth with no more than they’ve shown last season and early this season, can TCU keep UCF out of the endzone…….

Saturday,

(1.) LSU --- [what a mess ... Kentucky made this one frustrating to decide on]
(2.) Memphis --- [one is hoping to be a playoff team ... the other wants to just win a game]
(3.) Cincinnati --- [I guess ... but the Bearcats seem to enjoy disappointing people]
(4.) North Texas --- [the other guys are pretty awful]
(5.) Missouri --- [I really wanted to take the Eagles ... kinda like I wanted to go with NIU]
(6.) Oregon State --- [these guys have a chip on their shoulder, that it looks like and quacks like a]
(7.) Tulane --- [or, the Sooners smash the bajeezus outta em, to make up for last week]
(8.) Washington State --- [I haven't learned anything about either to this point]
(9.) Pitt --- [since these things get away from me, I'll jinx the Panthers by taking them]
(10.) Utah --- [however, some vulnerabilities have surfaced]
(11.) FIU --- [the winner of this will likely have more in state wins than the winner of uf vs fsu]
(12.) Middle Tennessee --- [I don't know ... really]
(13.) Hawai'i --- [ugh!! I can't believe I missed putting ND/Purdue here, instead of this]
(14.) South Florida --- [unless they play flat after their late game collapse against Bama]
(15.) Indiana --- [why not? I mean, what are the Bruins gonna do about it?]
(16.) Baylor --- [the Bears aren't good; the Falcons look worse, this season]
(17.) Colorado State --- [they have been dart boarding this game for a year]
(18.) UCF --- [I just don't trust the Horned Frogs enough to not make mistakes]
(19.) Houston --- [tho if there were a time for the Owls to win this one, it's now]
(20.) Fresno State --- [night game in Fresno; taking the home atmosphere]
