    I legitimately believe Appalachian State may be able to beat Florida.

    Why do so many SEC teams schedule non-conference (especially FCS) schools this late in the season? Wouldn't a BYE week be more productive in some regards?

    Ha! You're probably right. I just think it seems silly.


    So what are your guys' picks for the best games of the week? Post your thoughts in this thread and we'll use that to pick our Game of the Week Preview.

    With Auburn and Oregon both off this week ... I'd go with Stanford - Cal, simply because it's a rivalry game. Otherwise Ohio St/Iowa or Nebraska/A&M.

    Oklahoma at Baylor could be interesting only because the Sooners are terrible on the road... Also, am I the only one who believes Florida Atlantic could beat Texas?

    Truthfully, out of all of those, I think Fresno State @ Boise State might be the biggest one with how Fresno State nearly beat Nevada.

    Maybe Stanford @ Cal but the propensity of Cal to just fall off the map makes me think that Stanford will probably just rip into them.

    Arkansas State @ Navy... probably decides ASU head coach Steve Roberts' fate. If he manages to win the last two (@Navy & @FIU) then he would finish 6-6 and likely earn a bowl appearance. Otherwise he will likely be gone with the hope that first year OC Hugh Freeze would take over. If we had any home games left, I'd have this t-shirt I mocked-up actually made:

    Good luck man, but I think Navy is going to give you guys some serious trouble.

    I believe so as well, though we do have a former coach that used to be a master of the Flexbone coming back this week to help the team learn how to defend it. He's the same coach that taught LSU how to defend it for their bowl game against Georgia Tech. We'll see.

    I just hope that Texas Tech can actually beat Weber State.

    The VT/Miami game could be a good one.

    I'm not even a Cubs fan and that ticks me off!

    Someone is going to get hurt or we'll have a controversial play in that small end zone.

    I almost guarantee someone hits that wall hard. We got retaining walls installed a few years ago that are bout 6 feet from the back of the endzone. At the time, they weren't padded at all and on the first or second game, we had a player run into the wall and get gashed having to sit out for 4-5 weeks. Since then, we've had quite a few players get run into the wall including a couple of weeks ago in a really raining condition went sliding headfirst into it.

    I wonder if they will put a padded wall up eventually, but since there is already Allstate advertising on the wall, it looks like it won't be.

    I'm fairly certain that is padding, just painted to look like ivy. Still yet though, a player going full-boar into the wall, six inches of padding won't help much.

    I agree on both parts. Ivy doesn't look that good in mid-November! It'll be a small miracle if no one gets hurt.
