Beware Auburn, bamr, State, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Michigan State

No question about it   My newest bff gave me to me.

For Auburn:   LSU State OM A&M UGA bamr SEC East Champ 1st round playoff opponent Final opponent

  Cant argue with that.

way kewl

  Shoot both teams could have two losses by the time they meet in November.

  agreed. How good KS is has yet to be determined. But they must be fairly good since they only lost to Auburn by 6! The further we get away from A&M's win over SC the less pretty it is. Particularly should SC struggle with Kentucky.

  NIce deflection   'I wouldn't say that Auburn soundly beat Arkansas, it was tied at the half in that game.'   So beating a team by 24 after holding them to 61 total yards in the second half is not soundly beating them?   'A&M has the most impressive win out of anybody else so far this season.'   So you are referring to A&M's win over Arkansas?  

  How is this signature?

  okay. I missed that part.

The scoreboard may not have enough numbers. Each team should score in the forties.

  That is my point. Westend1 asked who has better wins than A&M. I offered up Auburn. Auburn soundly beat the team you agreed would beat SC. And Auburn beat KSU in Manhattan on a Thursday night.

  Hey i understand. I just don't like to guess a score without a little reasoning offered with it. Thus my premise A&M's defense will have problems Saturday.   It'll be a great game. The first of 3 that day.

  Yeah. The fake point shouldn't count towards total yardage given up by the defense as the true defense wasn't on the field.  So back that out and the total yardage given up by the A&M defense is 433 yards.

  Not really. IIRC the guy being held on the called back td pass would not have influenced the passer should the hold not taken place.   I was referring to the leg whip call on the second td. So i misspoke as a td wasn't scored by the Arkansas player. Yet the ball carrier was through the line after the leg whip occured.   Spin it the way you want to. Bottom line is A&M's defense gave up alot of yards and alot of points to Arkansas. And State is poised to do the same thing Saturday. Thus the basis of my prediction.

  You are correct. A win is a win. But after 5 games SC was obviously overrated at the beginning of the year.   I think Arkansas would beat SC, don't you?

  What does KSt missing two field goals against Auburn have to do with A&M's soft defense? Which is the point i was attempting to make in the first post.

  The point I'm trying to make is Arkansas had 14 points taken off the board by their own mistakes. Not by A&M's defense stopping them on those two drives. A&M's defense is still soft.

  Well Auburn beat Arkansas by 24 earlier in the year. A&M, of course, was bleeding, groggy and on the ropes against Arkansas. And Auburn beat Kansas State at Manhattan on a Thursday night. No easy feat. South Carolina is not a top 25 team. While they did beat uga, SC struggled against both East Carolina and against Vandy.

  This is the big factor. LSU's lack of a passing game made State's defense look better than it actually is. A&M will get their points. The question is, as it was with Arkansas, is whether A&M's defense can hold up.   State doesn't have the big backs Arkansas has. But State's running back is supplemented by the running of Prescott. Plus Prescott is a better passer than the Arkansas qb.   I guessed 31-21 State earlier this week. But for 2 penalties Arkansas wouldve hung 42 on A&M. I believe Prescott makes State's offense more dynamic than Arkansas'.   New guess is State 45 Arkansas 31.

No leg whip to save A&M this day.   State 31   A&M 21

In my opinion this will be a close game right down to the end. OM probably practiced more for bamr the last three weeks than they did for the opponent of that week.  OM is the best team bamr has faced and vice versa  This will be bamr's first true away game. Bamr's wrs won't be running free against OM as they were against uf. But Wallace can't play with his head up his butt for 3 qtrs either. It will provide a true measuring stick for both teams

Great weekend for college football.

What a great ballgame! A little sloppy penalty wise but the ebb and flow for both teams made it very entertaining.
