  • NCAAF Week 4 Trends and Indexes 9/17 through 9/20

    Best games of 2008


    Sept. 18

    West Virginia at Colorado: The Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever that keeps Colorado coaches and ADs scheduling these type of games dates back to the 1980s under Bill McCartney. Since 2003, CU has played UCLA, Washington State, Florida State, Miami, Arizona State and Georgia in the regular season. Record: 2-7.


    Sept. 20

    Georgia at Arizona State: Not a good matchup if you're an ASU offensive lineman. The Sun Devils allowed the second-most sacks in the country (55) last season. Georgia led the SEC in sacks (42).

    LSU at Auburn: Before we get into the West Division implications, note to Tubs: Make sure you shade a guy over to Demetrius Byrd's side. He was the LSU receiver who caught the winning touchdown pass with one second left last season.

    Florida at Tennessee: Hate Inc. UT lost this game by 39 last season and ended up playing for the SEC title. Think that sat well with Florida?

    Wake at Florida State: Forget the Bowden Bowl, Bobby needs to win the Grobe Grudge. Wake has won the last two in a row for the first time.


    Sept. 27

    John Parker Wilson has yet to beat Georgia while a starter at Alabama.

    Tennessee at Auburn: The Vols are 12-0 after Florida in regular season games last 12 seasons.

    Wisconsin at Michigan: The Rich Rod infiltration of the Big Ten continues. Good-old pro-style vs. new-fangled spread option.

    Virginia Tech at Nebraska: If the Huskers are going to be any good at all, they have to win this game. Virginia Tech's defense will be good enough to hug out its differences with Nebraska quarterback Joe Ganz.

    TCU at Oklahoma: Oklahoma is reportedly concerned about TCU spies after the Sooners lost to the Horned Frogs in 2005. OU assistants are being issued night vision goggles for practice after the sun goes down.

    Fresno State at UCLA: This ends a brutal non-conference schedule for Fresno. If the Bulldogs can get through Rutgers, Wisconsin and Toledo, they could be talking Orange Bowl by this point.

    Alabama at Georgia: If Saban has his way, this game will be played in a cone of silence. No pesky spectators or media to get in the way of his mission. The Dawgs have won three in a row over the Tide, the last in overtime.


    Oct. 4

    Ohio State at Wisconsin: Might be the Big Ten Game of the Year. Of course, it doesn't take much to earn that label. Wisconsin led in the third quarter at Columbus last year before losing by 21.

    Missouri at Nebraska: The last time Missouri won in Lincoln, Central State (Ohio) University's AD played in the game. That would be one Kellen Winslow in 1978.

    Oregon at USC: The Ducks treated USC's Mark Sanchez like beaver road kill on I-5 last season (two interceptions). Oregon's D has gotten ornerier.


    Oct. 9

    Clemson at Wake Forest: Thursday night at Groves Stadium, what could be scarier? No, really. This is a matchup of the ACC's top two quarterbacks.


    Oct. 11

    Tim Tebow accounted for three touchdown's in last season's matchup with LSU.

    LSU at Florida: The Crazy Les legend grew last season in this meeting. LSU went five-for-five on fourth downs. Tim Tebow can't be any greater than he was that night (two touchdowns throwing, one rushing), can he?

    Arizona State at USC: If the Trojans are going to be knocked off their Pac-10 throne, it has to start here. It's been nine years since the Sun Devils won in the Coliseum.

    Oklahoma vs. Texas (in Dallas): As usual, Big 12 South and national championship hopes are at stake. Somehow, the turkey legs and corn dogs taste better for the winners.


    Oct. 18

    Kansas at Oklahoma: Kansas' Todd Reesing likes to run around. Oklahoma DE Auston English likes to chase. Reesing better have help. Oklahoma is 21-0 in Big 12 home games since 2002. Michigan at Penn State: Give Rodriguez Penn State's skill players and Michigan might have a better chance this season. Give Rod JoePa's players and he might have the cops swarming around.

    Ohio State at Michigan State: Mark Dantonio tries to psyche out his former boss (Jim Tressel) by sporting green and white argyle. Will it matter? Ohio State has won the last six in this series.

    Missouri at Texas: This might be all that stands between Missouri and an undefeated season. The Tigers are a better team on paper but this game is in Austin where the Longhorns are 10-0 following the Oklahoma game the past decade. Four of those wins have been against ranked teams.


    Oct. 23

    Auburn at West Virginia: This should be interesting. One of the nation's best spread-option pass schemers (Auburn OC Tony Franklin) vs. one of the nation's best spread-option run schemes.


    Oct. 25

    Alabama at Tennessee: The Tide might have reached their '07 high in last seasons' 24-point victory over UT. John Parker Wilson, time for you to step up again.


    Oct. 26

    Central Florida at Tulsa: 2007's No. 1 offense (nationally) vs. Conference USA's No. 1 defense (projected in 2008). The Golden Hurricane lost twice to the Knights last season, including the Conference USA championship game.

    Georgia at LSU: SEC championship game preview? The teams haven't met since the '05 title game. Pro SCOUT s fight over press box space to watch Matthew Stafford vs. the LSU defense.


    Nov. 1

    Georgia vs. Florida (in Jacksonville, Fla.) Urban Meyer orders the entire population of Gainesville onto the field after the Gators first touchdown.

    Texas at Texas Tech: The over-under is 78. That's the average number of points scored in this game the past five years. All have been won by Texas.


    Nov. 8

    Could this be the final Bowden Bowl?

    Clemson at Florida State: Tommy has won the last four out of five over his dad. Will this be the last meeting?


    Nov. 22

    BYU at Utah: Hopefully, a BCS bowl is at stake. The last time it was, Utah fans broke out one of the best signs of all time during a rout of the Cougars: Where's Your God Now?

    Michigan at Ohio State: Yo, Rich. Big game today. You might have heard about when you came to town.

    Cal Poly at Wisconsin: The San Luis Obispo County fair got in the way of a September meeting so they moved this game to late November. Kidding. Just threw this in to remind you that no one is safe. The I-AA Mustangs won at San Diego State in 2006, averaged a school-record 40 points last season and return 10 starters to a confusing option offense.


    Nov. 28

    West Virginia at Pittsburgh: Devine vs. McCoy. Stewart vs. Wannstedt. White vs. Pittsburgh's defense. West Virginia's psyche vs. itself. Just think if the Mountaineers need this to go to the BCS title game. Again.


    Nov. 29

    Chase Daniel and Mizzou should have a lot riding on the outcome of the Kansas game.

    Missouri vs. Kansas (in Kansas City, Mo.): The winner could be playing at Arrowhead two weeks in a row. Kansas City hosts the Big 12 championship game on Dec. 6. Nothing, though, can top last season's epic. The second-largest crowd in Arrowhead history watched Missouri win 36-28.

    Auburn at Alabama: Tommy Tuberville is running out of hands to show the cameras how many times in a row he has won.


    Dec. 6

    South Florida at West Virginia: Jim Leavitt might -- just might -- admit this is a big game. The South Florida coach fell asleep during Neil Armstrong's walk on the moon. Not much phases him. The winner here should capture the Big East. Two top 10 Mountaineers' teams have played South Florida the past two years. Two top 10 Mountaineers teams have come out losers. The tough Bulls' D has shut down West Virginia's running game.

    USC at UCLA: Rick Neuheisel is Tabasco. This rivalry, lately has been rice cakes. In other words, USC-UCLA needs a little Ricky Tabasco.

            Kansas State at Louisville [ESPN2 | 8 PM ET]

            Kansas State (-4, O/U 56): The Wildcats have fattened up on two cream puffs in preparation for their first true test against Louisville. Kansas State has beaten Montana State and North Texas by a combined score of 114-16. We?ll see tonight if beating up on lightweights has restored the Wildcats confidence after they dropped four straight to end last season. Junior quarterback Josh Freeman has been brilliant so far, recording a pass efficiency rating of 209.3 which is tops in the Big 12. Kansas State?s defense has been opportunistic in its first two games and they hope that continues when they step up in class tonight against Louisville.

            Kansas State is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games following a bye week.
            Kansas State is 5-12 ATS in its last 17 road games.

            Key Injuries - RT Ben Liu (knee) is probable.
            LB John Houlik (suspension) is OUT.

            PROJECTED SCORE: 31 (OVER - Total Play of the Day)

            Louisville: After getting hammered by in-state rival Kentucky, the Cardinals bounced back to dispose of Division 1-AA Tennessee Tech. It?s hard to know which Louisville team will show up tonight. The one that turned the ball over five times against Kentucky or the one that scored touchdowns on offense, defense and special teams in the blowout win over Tennessee Tech. Quarterback Hunter Cantwell played well against a weaker foe after struggling against the Wildcats. Meanwhile, the new-look Cardinals defense under Ron English has been much more aggressive and technically sound than it was a year ago.

            Louisville is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 non-conference games.
            Louisville is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 home games.

            Key Injuries - WR Scott Long (foot) is OUT.

            PROJECTED SCORE: 30

              Kansas State at Louisville

              The Wildcats have rolled up big home wins over lightly-regarded North Texas (45-6) and I-AA Montana State (69-10), but are just 7-19 ATS in their first road game of the season. Louisville is the underdog pick (+4 1/2) according to Dunkel, which has K-State favored by only 2. Dunkel Pick: Louisville (+4 1/2). Here are all of the weekday games. (Note: I will post this weekend's games later today.)

                Wednesday's Game

                Kansas State lost 24-6 at home to Louisville two years ago, but the Cardinals were 12-1 that year- they're 7-7 since that season ended. Wildcats are 0-7 vs spread as road favorite since 2004; Cardinals are home dog for first time since '02. Louisville has 9 starters back (4 offense, 5 defense) but senior QB. K-State has 12 starters back (7 offense, 5 defense) and a junior QB. K-State lost last four road games, giving up an average of 47.5 ppg.

                        West Virginia had 12 days since they got smoked 24-3 as 9-pt fave at East Carolina- they were outgained 386-251, with only 72 passing yards. Colorado was down 21-7 at half to I-AA Eastern Washington in their last game, rallied to win 31-24, so neither team has been real impressive so far. Buffs are 3-6 vs spread as home dog since '04; they have 14 starters back (six offense, eight defense). Mountaineers have covered 15 of last 21 as road favorite, but they lost seven starters on defense from last year. Interesting mid-week game.

                          #21 West Virginia at Colorado [ESPN | 8:30 PM ET]

                          West Virginia (-3, O/U 56.5): The Mountaineers will try and rebound from the thrashing they took at the hands of East Carolina. For some reason new head coach Bill Stewart is trying to throw the football more this season, despite having one of the best running quarterbacks ever in Pat White. West Virginia hasn’t topped 200 yards rushing in either game, a mark they would sometimes surpass by halftime a season ago. To get their offense going, the Mountaineers will try to get the ball in the hands of slotback Jock Sanders, who the coaching staff thinks can be a difference maker. Defensively, West Virginia looked lost against ECU, blowing assignments and missing a lot of tackles.

                          West Virginia is 13-6 ATS in its last 19 road games.
                          The OVER is 5-1 in West Virginia’s last 6 Thursday games.

                          Key Injuries - LB Reed Williams (shoulder) is probable.

                          PROJECTED SCORE: 31 (Side Play of the Day)

                          Colorado: After beating in-state rival Colorado State, the Buffs needed a late rally to get by Division 1-AA Eastern Washington. Colorado is one the youngest teams in college football and it showed in a classic sandwich game with Eastern Washington, as the Buffs fell behind early and looked unmotivated. Colorado will try to keep Pat White under wraps tonight and it will do so with a rush defense that’s allowing just 59 yards per game so far this season. Cody Hawkins looks more comfortable in his second year under center. He’ll try to slice through a reeling Mountaineers secondary, much like ECU’s Patrick Pinkney was able to do two weeks ago.

                          Colorado is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games following a SU win.
                          The OVER is 4-1 in Colorado’s last 5 games overall.

                          Key Injuries - CB Jimmy Smith (back) is probable.
                          LB Shaun Mohler (shoulder) is probable.

                          PROJECTED SCORE: 24

                            Baylor at Connecticut [ESPN | 8 PM ET] | Full Matchup

                            Baylor: There is a new star emerging in college football, and its Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III. The freshman is flourishing in Art Briles’ wide-open spread offense, running for a school-record 217 yards last week against Washington State. In Griffin’s two starts this year, the Bears have eclipsed 40 points both times. Baylor’s defense currently ranks No. 35 in the country defending the run but gets a huge test this week trying to stop Donald Brown of UConn.

                            Baylor is 9-4 ATS in its last 13 games following a SU win.
                            The OVER is 8-2 in Baylor's last 10 road games.

                            Key Injuries - NONE

                            PROJECTED SCORE: 21 (OVER - Total Play of the Day)

                            Connecticut (-12, O/U 51): The Huskies have sprinted out to a 3-0 record, proving they aren’t a one-year wonder after winning a share of the Big East Title last season. The Huskies passing attack is still looking to hit its stride. Until then, UConn’s offense will continue to ride running back Donald Brown, who has run for over 200 yards in two consecutive games. The Huskies defense has been nasty this year, allowing just one touchdown and an average of 66.3 rushing yards through three games.

                            UConn is 6-0 ATS in its last 6 home games.
                            UConn is 28-12-1 ATS in its last 41 non-conference games.

                            Key Injuries - RB Andre Dixon (ankle) is questionable.
                            DE Lindsey Witten (knee) is probable.

                            PROJECTED SCORE: 34

                              Friday's Game

                              Big East teams are 2-11 vs spread in non-league games this year, but UConn got one vs Virginia last week. Long road trip for a Baylor team that hammered Washington State last week, but Cougars travelled the day of the game, because of hurricane-related issues. It is contrast of styles; UConn (14-7 as home favorite) wants to run, and Baylor, with freshman QB Griffin, has a more diverse attack, but he is still a freshman QB a long way from home.

                              Saturday's Games

                              Top 13 games

                              -- Home team won six of last seven Ole Miss-Vandy games; Rebels are 1-6-2 vs spread in last nine tries as favorite, but that was before Nutt took over- he's a major upgrade as coach. Vanderbilt is 3-0 and halfway to its first bowl in 26 years- they covered 14 of last 18 tries as road underdog. Commodores lost last two visits here, 26-23/17-10

                              -- Mississippi State lost 3-2 to Auburn last week, gaining total of 116 yards; Bulldogs are 7-2-1 vs spread in last ten tries as road dog. This figures to be defensive struggle, as Tech split last two games, (19-16 at Boston College, 17-20 at Virginia Tech), are still learning Johnson's run-based offense. SEC road dogs are 4-0 in non-conference games.

                              -- Home side won last eight LSU-Auburn games; LSU lost last two at this site, 10-9/7-3, so this figures to be smashmouth game between a couple of teams that both struggle at QB. Auburn lost six fumbles in last two games- they're 9 for last 28 on third down. First road game for both LSU QBs-- they've yet to be tested by a quality opponent.

                              -- Home side won last four Alabama-Arkansas games, with last two decided by total of four points; Tide lost by point in OT in last visit here, but Hogs now have new coach, struggled to beat pair of inferior foes in first two games. Bama covered three of last 18 as double digit favorite. Arkansas failed to cover last three tries as road underdog.
