1 hour ago1 hr Moderator No. Welcome to the 2026 College Football (CFB) Roller Coaster. One week's euphoria is next week's depression. The 2026 season has been a bipolar experience for Mizzou, Ole Miss, Mississippi, Florida, Ohio State (find a FG kicker!), Penn State, Michigan, Western Michigan😁, Oklahoma State🤬, and OBD fans.Through Week 5, 13 Power 4 teams are undefeated. Some because they're good, some because they're good and the schedule is a joke, and some because of college kicker situations. Ask laid-back Pitt coach Pat 'He's a Dozzy' Narduzzi. A terrific Yahoo Sports article by Dan Wolken on why CFB is experiencing this chaos is linked below.Will the undefeateds continue breaking bread, and if so, will it be Honey Wheat or Sourdough?Odds from DraftKings. Game times Pacific time. FPI - ESPN's Football Power Index - NR = Not Ranked Football gods willing, a look at other Week 6 B1G + Big 12 games coming up.---Off Week 6 - No. 3 Miami and No. 11 Texas TechFriday - October 9th -No. 8 BYU -10.5 vs. 3-2 Iowa State - 7:15 PM - ESPNFPI - BYU by 14 - 84% to winThe Cougars are 0-0 against the top 25 and struggled to defeat a mediocre TCU 17 to 10 in the Dykes broke, rainy, not Sonny, Dallas on Saturday. One of CFB's best running backs, BYU's LJ Martin, is doubtful for this game. Iowa State running back Aiden Flora was the AP National Player of Week 5, leading the Cyclones to a 45-42 win over West Virginia with 212 yards rushing, 3 TDs, and 2 TDs passing.This could be a Look Out - Look Ahead game for the overrated Cougars and its QB, who has Bearly moved the needle. Next week, No. 3 Notre Dame visits Provo.---Saturday - October 10thUndefeated vs. Undefeated -No. 7 Indiana -7.5 at NR 5-0 Nebraska - 9 AM FoxFPI - Indiana by 6.9 - 69% to winMatt Ruhle is 2-24 vs. the Top 25; 0-8 at NebraskaApologies to the computer, but - 7.5 looks like a gift from the football gods and the oddsmakers? With the schedule being roasted, I expect the Fighting Cigs will come out smoking and kick the Cornhuskers in the butts. My gaming friends and I have accepted the gift, waiting to open the package on 10/11. (So take Nebraska -115 on the Moneyline? 🤑)---No. 2 Georgia +1.5 at No. 7 Alabama - 4:30 ABCFPI - Alabama by 0.9 - 53% to winBecause Ohio State can't find the dough to buy an FG kicker without a gag reflex, Texas is No. 1. But this could be the game of the year in the SEC and a preview of the championship game in Atlanta on December 5th.Bama has been Kirby Smart's kryptonite - The Smart One is 2-7 vs. the Crimson Tide, 0-2 in Tuscaloosa. Year to date, Georgia is 2nd in Total Defense; Alabama is 18thTotal Offense: Georgia 22nd; Alabama 25thIn what amounts to a toss-up game, I like Georgia, behind the better defense and leadership of Senior QB Gunner Stockton, to eke out a victory over Bama and Frosh phenom QB Keelon Russel. Kirby is 1-2 against DeBoer, but the win was in the most recent game, a 2025 SEC champ game beatdown. ---Now, let's look at the B1Ggest Game of the Week.No. 21 UCLA +11.5 at No. 13 Oregon - 12:30 PM CBSFPI - Oregon by 14.6 - 85% to winI went against the computer in UGA vs. Bama - Not in this game.Load the box and make Nico chuck it.---No. 1 Texas -8.5 vs. NR Oklahoma - Texas State Fairgrounds - Dallas 12:30 PM ABC - FPI - Texas by 14.9 - 85% chance to winBut in the Wed Wiver Wilvary, you never know. ---No. 25 Pitt -4.5 vs. 2-2 UNC - 9 AM ESPNFPI - Pitt by 9.1 - 75% to winPitt's starting QB was injured in the VA Tech game that Pitt should have lost and is out for the season. I like a UNC team that battled for 60 minutes against Notre Dame to win this game.---No. 3 Notre Dame, No. 12 Utah, and NR Duke will be undefeated heading into Week 7. The Notre Dame schedule has been a joke, and the Massey Ratings ranks the Domers' schedule to-be-played as the 64th 'most difficult' in the nation.https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/article/college-football-has-never-been-more-chaotic--and-its-fans-are-losing-their-minds-because-of-it-210333664.htmlRuin the Bruins and Roast Chesney's Chestnuts!
