A lot of this stuff is for yesterday's games.

Damn, Savage, I think I did this one day not too long ago, too. I was posting from the job this morning and was just copying and pasting without looking at anything. I'll fix it right now.

Friday's List of 13: Things I'm looking for this weekend


13) Can Arkansas upset the Crimson Tide? If an experienced QB like Mallett can't exploit the young Alabama defense, who will?

12) How will 3-0 Temple do as it steps way up in class and tackles the Nittany Lions in Happy Valley?

11) How will Vince Young do in the Jersey Swamp after getting yanked in Tennessee's loss to the Steelers last week?

10) Can the Steelers get through a game without changing QBs?

9) How will Notre Dame react to consecutive close losses when a better team (Stanford) rolls into South Bend Saturday?

8) Can the Padres make hay in NL West while Giants/Rockies play one big series at Coors Field?

7) Will Dallas/Minnesota fall to 0-3; they both have byes next week, so its doubly bad if you have to stew in your own juices for two weeks.

6) Can Cleveland score a point after halftime? They haven't yet in '10.

5) How much will Braylon Edwards play after his DUI arrest? Can the Jets win their road opener, and ruin Miami's home opener?

4) Nevada crushed the Cal Bears last week; can they go on road and beat BYU squad that got smoked by Air Force/Florida State last two weeks?

3) Florida International is getting 11 points from Maryland Saturday; it should be noted that FIU led in 4th quarter at Texas A&M last week in gam they eventually lost just 27-20. .

2) Will young Florida Gators look past Kentucky with trip to Alabama coming up? Wildcats are only D-I college team that has played in three games and still hasn't turned ball over.

1) Winner Monday night emerges from Week 3 with a 3-0 record and first place all to themselves. Home side won four of last five in series between Packers and Chicago.
