What Will We SE(C)E from the B1G in Week 2? Will OBD Cowboys Up?

No.

Boise State provided a terrific Week 1 test for OBD. After a close loss, Boise moved up in the AP Poll from being ranked 28th to 26th.

After the "Quad 1 win," Oregon was logically dropped from ranked 2nd to 6th. ðŸĪŠ

All times are Pacific. AP Poll rankings.

Friday - 9/11 - Rutgers -8.5 at Boston College - 5 PM Fox - B1G vs ACC

After its Week 1 debacle, Rutgers is favored?

Two of the worst teams in CFB, but worth a look to watch 9/11 victims honored.

---

Saturday - 9/12 -

No. 6 Oregon -22.5 at Oklahoma State - 9 AM ESPN - B1G vs B12

This game lost some of its luster with the Cowboys' Week 1 loss to Tulsa. But Boone Pickens Stadium is a tough place to play at any time, and tougher with a 9 AM body-clock start and hot, humid weather conditions accompanied by NOISE!

---

Duke at Illinois -6.5 - 12:30 FS1 - B1G vs ACC

Both teams won their Week 1 games. Transfer QB Katin Houser had a good opening game for the Illini, but the new 3-3-5 D was shaky.

Oregon plays at Illinois on October 24th.

No. 35 UCLA -8.5 vs San Diego State - 4:15 PM BTN - B1G vs Pac-12

Bob Chesny and the Bruins got off to a terrific start last week, taking down Cal 45 to 24 in front of 63,000-plus fans in Cal's sold-out Memorial Stadium.

Against Tosh's D, UCLA put up 461 yards, 277 yards rushing.

I hope close to 40,000 fans will show up at the Rose Bowl.

SDS is expected to compete for the Pac-12 title. Will the Bruins show the same intensity as in Week 1?

UCLA visits Autzen on October 10th.

---

NO. 14 USC -30.5 vs Louisiana - 8 PM BTN - B1G vs Sun Belt

2-0 SC is ranked behind many 1-0 teams that have played equal or lesser competition.

With three cupcakes OOC and its opening B1G game at Rutgers, SC will get no Top-10 respect unless and until it can defeat Oregon in the Coli on September 26th.

All three of the Week 2 B1G vs SEC matchups are included below in On3's Top 10 Week 2 CFB Games.

Oklahoma is favored over Michigan. Mississippi State is favored over Minnesota. Texas is favored over Ohio State. Lose all three games and the noise out of Dixie will be deafening.

'I'm all right; nobody worry about me.'

The Gophers SEC under-under card matchup is still a B1G game.

WOW! Last two seasons: B1G - 10 wins - SEC 7/ Bowls - B1G - 8 wins - SEC 2

But ESPN isn't biased in favor of the SEC, right?

Damn Jon, exactly what I had planned to post. I guess great minds think alike.

I'll also post that the Ducks and my Dawgs overlap timewise AGAIN! This happens more often than it should it seems. Of course, both games overlap with Oklahoma /Michigan as well. Gonna be some channel flippin going on, that's for sure.

ND, I'm hoping that your Dawgs and the Ducks overlap on 1/25/27 in Las Vegas.

Two big games in Week 4: UGA hosts Oklahoma, and Oregon trips to LA to play SC.

Between the Kiffin circus and the Arch madness, UGA is flying under the radar. No doubt this is fine with Kirby.

Kirby will be celebrating on 12/5 in Atlanta when Georgia wins what could be the last conference championship game on the way to another PO appearance.

Keep on barking, you hairy Dawgs!

Well, maybe the Dawgs will be there? Ducks?

Cowboys hold the fort.

2025: Penn State, Clemson, LSU?

Don't schedule Tulsa!

Next Case! How about 11-1?

Hats off to Michigan!

Don't knock, knock, knock on Underwood. He's OK.

Not with current O line situation,

No.

Early is the best time to lose one like today because the film will display the deficiencies that must be corrected. Unfortunately the same holds for Ohio State. I always thought that people were giving Oklahoma far to much credit and I was not surprised that Michigan took them down at home. Congrats CKW.

Week 2 delivered a B1G Butcher's Bill 😧.

First, a few thoughts on a B1G bad week.

- Don't schedule Tulsa - At least Boise State looked good in its beatdown of Memphis.

- Be happy Oregon State isn't on the schedule. The Beavers gave Top-25-ranked Houston a battle on the road and last night had the lead against Texas Tech going into the 4th quarter.

- Remember Kingston Lopa? Yesterday in Syracuse, NY, Cal safety Lopa had three interceptions, including a 24 yard Pick 6 that provided the winning points in Cal's 21-18 victory. Too bad Lopa fled the flock.

- On to the not-so-big Ten.

Oklahoma at Michigan was a LOS scrimmage slugfest featuring two overrated and overpaid QBs. Michigan's Bryce Underwood is 8-4 vs. P4 opposition; Oklahoma's John Mateer is 7-4.

Mateer served up a Pick 6 that resulted in the Wolverines' winning points. Underwood had a nice TD run, but struggled in the passing game. Should Tommy Carr, brother of Notre Dame QB CJ, and Michigan coach Lloyd Carr's grandson get some playing time?

Don't you just hate it when an SEC honk is right?

On the Pat McAfee show, Nick Saban proclaimed the Big Ten had three good teams: Ohio State, Oregon, and Indiana, and that's it. Maybe Michigan should have been one of the three?

Instead of kicking a FG deep in Texas territory to go up 26-3, Ryan Day decided to go for it on 4th down. Texas stuffed the play, found new life, and scored 21 points in the 4th quarter to defeat No. 1 Ohio State 24 to 23.

In Minneapolis, Mississippi State did what Caddy Shack's Bill Murray couldn't; the Starkville Bulldogs smothered the Gophers 38-13.

Week 2 saw the Big Ten go 2-5 vs. P4 competition, with OBD, Illinois, Purdue, Minnesota, and Rutgers losing.

Michigan defeated No. 11 Oklahoma 17-10, and Iowa held on and defeated Iowa State 16-13. For the third straight season, the winning points in the Cy-Hawk game were served up by a walk-on kicker from the Hawkeye State.

Tony P may want to consider opening with a better act than the Scarlet Knights. 0-2 Rutgers should be handed the Hester Prynne Scarlet Letter Trophy. Week 3 sees USC visiting Pisscastaway.

Heading into Week 3, conference records vs. P4 opponents: SEC 8-2; ACC 5-6; B12 4-7; big 10 3-6.

The folks in Oxford, Mississippi, are preparing a warm Week 3 Welcome Home Party for the dearly departed Lane Kiffen. 😁

Vanquish the Vikings on Friday Night!

Then, get ready to fight on for four quarters in LA.
