Who you watching this weekend?
Pretty brutal BT slate:
--N. Illinois at MD
--W. Illinois at NW
--FIU at PSU
--Illinois at Duke
--KSU at IU
--Iowa at ISU
--NW State at MN
--OK St at Oregon
--Miami OH at Rutgers
--MTNN State at Wisconsin
--Michigan at OK
--Akron at Nebraska
--Georgia So. at USC
--BC at MSU
--S. Illinois at Purdue
--UCLA at UNLV
--Grambling at OSU
--UC Davis at Washington
Some thoughts--
--Interesting that UCLA would agree to play at UNLV.
--Illinois is only favored by 3 or so at Duke. If they are really legit they should win by 10+. We'll see.
--ISU is only a 3.5 pt favorite over Iowa. That seems low. Iowa could get trashed.
--OK State 27.5 dogs v. Oregon. Wow. That OK St program is sliding bad. I haven't liked them since they were so classless after they smacked us in a bowl game many years ago.
--Rutgers favored by 14.5 over Miami OH. Sounds like a lot. Miami lost 17-0 at Wisconsin. RU beat Ohio 34-31 at home.
--Michigan at OK. OK favored by 5.5. Sounds about right.
--BC at MSU. MSU by 3.5. Seems like a pretty big game for MSU. Lose and there's not much excitement for the rest of the season. Should be a tight one.
--I'll be interested in the USC/Georgia So. score. Is USC back?
Interesting NC games: Not one great match-up, but these are worth watching.
--Baylor at SMU
--Ole Miss at UK. Very interesting.
--Kansas at Missouri. I know a lot of people like Kansas this year. Mo favored by 6.5 or so. I think they cover that pretty easily.
--W. Virginia at Ohio. Very interesting that WV would agree to play at Athens. That's a game I'd like to see in person, as Athens is such a cool campus (stadium is nothing special tho). Ohio is only a 3.5 point dog. Seems low.
These are usually the weeks where something crazy happens. I think Duke beats Illinois.
UCLA would be in big trouble if they start 0-2 after this offseason.
Mich-OU is a great one.
BC at MSU could tell us plenty about sparty
Thank you for reading Hoosier Huddle
ASU at Miss State could also be interesting...is ASU for real this year?Who you watching this weekend?

I'll be at the IU game otherwise I'd be watching the CyHawk game. Go Cyclones! I am interested in the Illinois vs Duke game. That has the potential to be a good upset game.
I'm very interested in Illinois and Iowa, I really don't care who wins just how everyone looked.
BEAT PURDUE
ASU at Miss State could also be interesting...is ASU for real this year?
MSU's super bowl this year, and a night game. I bet MSU.
I'm skeptical about ASU so would not surprise me at all. I like to see SEC teams lose, but maybe we should be rooting for Miss St. I don't think it makes a lot of difference as I don't see more than 2 Big 12 teams in the playoff...maybe Utah & ISU.ASU at Miss State could also be interesting...is ASU for real this year?

Seems like Iowa stunk it up in game 1. If I was a gambler I'd bet the house on ISU......but Iowa has surprised many times in this series. Did the worm turn on that year?I'll be at the IU game otherwise I'd be watching the CyHawk game. Go Cyclones! I am interested in the Illinois vs Duke game.

Have to root for Illinois but hope they don't look TOO good.
@mushroomgod After the hype I was pretty surprised Gronowski only had 44 yards passing in their opener. I suspect he's quite a bit better than that... but we'll see...
@mushroomgod Would love for both of them to win. There's really no benefit to IU otherwise.
I guess maybe you're asking... Is it better if Illinois and Iowa are vastly overrated, making an IU win likely against both... than if they're both good, and end up being ranked accordingly, and it risks us losing to either or both of them...??
Or maybe... Is IU going 2-0 against two teams that won't end up being in the top 25 at years end, better than going 1-1 or 0-2 against a CFP contender, and an Iowa team that's ranked at years end?
BEST case is we beat both of them and we're their only loss in the regular season. So I'm rooting for both to win tomorrow.
I’ll be having atleast 8 games going on 2 tvs with pip at once! The tivi5.1 max app on firestick gets me 11k channels so I can get every game! Only $30/mth too!
Have to root for Illinois but hope they don’t look TOO good.
Is there any way that IL could win and Bielema lose?
I’ll be at the IU game but will watch Michigan/Ok. when I get home. Not enough interest in the rest of them.
