Vegas assigned 3 points to Buffalo as a spread, but it turns out the Bulls would only score 3, as Ball State wins their second in a row and brings Buffalo down into the “terrible” group with Eastern Michigan and Akron. Ball State has only Northern Illinois remaining (next Saturday), then gets an early start to [...] The Mountain West is being totally boring and playing all their games on Saturday. All 9 teams are in action, with Utah heading to South Bend looking for redemption after getting knocked around by TCU last week. 2:00 PM, The Mtn.- BYU at Colorado State: This may be the end of an old rivalry, with the two [...] Boise State plays the first of three straight Friday games tonight, with three other conference tilts tomorrow including a big one featuring two of the league’s top teams. 9:00 PM Friday, ESPN2- #4 Boise State at Idaho: The Kibbie Dome will be loud and generally unpleasant for the Broncos tonight, but unfortunately for Vandal fans, I suspect [...] The MAC gives us some Friday Football tonight (don’t get excited), then three games tomorrow as they spread everybody else out on weeknights this month. 6:00 PM Friday, ESPNU- Ball State at Buffalo: Between the two teams are five wins and 14 losses, such that neither team has any hope of a bowl game. Forgive me if [...] UAB let a 35-27 lead get away in the fourth quarter, as ECU put up four scores to run away and hide at the end, winning 54-42. The win keeps ECU alive in the conference title hunt, although the Pirates still need two losses from UCF to vault back into things. Perhaps the best news for [...] Conference USA is hurtling toward its championship game, and the East division could be wrapped up by dinnertime Saturday (but probably not). The West is still wide open, as the teams over there have plenty of good games coming up, but one this week could alter the course there too. 8:00 PM Thursday- East Carolina at UAB: [...] Week 11? The season is just flying by. This week on the Belt we have teams scrambling to get bowl eligible, and Troy facing one of their last tests on the road to the conference championship. The Sun Belt has two bowl bids available this year- Troy seems on a path for one of them, but [...] Miami beat Bowling Green last night in what wound up being a very compelling game that I wished I’d turned on before the end of the 3rd quarter. With fog so thick that the players were near invisible when the camera pulled back for kickoffs and such, Bowling Green bounced back from a 25-yard third quarter [...] The two top teams in the MAC got together last night, and like Boise-Hawaii and TCU-Utah… it wasn’t even close. NIU jumped all over Toledo, leading 28-0 at the half, then kept their foot on the gas on the way to a 65-30 victory and a clear path to the conference championship game. NIU improves to [...] Attempt #2 at guessing the bowl bids. I’m not even trying to do this weekly, because things don’t move that fast in the standings. The bowls are listed by their selection order within the conference listed. Several bowls are “tied” in the selection order, and work together and/or with league offices to select teams. BCS Bowl [...] |
