Welcome to a brand-new week of college football! Liberty (4-0/31) and FIU (2-3/104) kicked off at 7:00 (all times Eastern) just about 18 minutes ago. Liberty is already up 3-0 with 7:10 to go in the first quarter, but more importantly, it’s the first of 46 consecutive days of either college or pro football. What a glorious time of year! By the way, Vegas has LIB-16.0 and the GCR agrees 73% and to cover in this Conference USA matchup.
…..
We continue tomorrow with New Mexico St (1-4/117) at Jacksonville St (2-3/125) and 3 games on Thursday. Friday has 5 games, including 2 FCS bouts, before we hit some of the most important games of the year on Saturday.
…..
The game to watch before Saturday is the last one, chronologically, when Utah (4-1/33) travels to Arizona St (4-1/32) in a Big 12 battle at 10:30pm. Another conference loss builds a tremendous wall to make the title game. When Utah has the ball, their Offensive Efficiency Rating (OER) is a below average 96 (138th in the country). That means they score just 9.6 points for every 10.0 points their opponents normally allow. They will face an AZST DER (Defensive Efficiency Rating) of 125 (69th), meaning they allow 10.0 points for every 12.5 points their opponents normally score. When the Sun Devils are driving, a mediocre OER of 103 (122nd) faces a Ute DER of 125 (72nd). This should be a low-scoring affair. Vegas thinks so too with an over/under of just 45.5. They also think Utah-6.5 will prevail. The GCR thinks the Utes will get the W, but it will be closer to a field goal. Arizona St suffers the loss but covers the spread.
…..
FIU has tied the game with a field goal of their own: 3-3 1:47 in the first.
…..
The noon game to watch is in the Big Ten when Washington (4-2/37) tries to build on the win over Michigan by traveling to Iowa (3-2/39) who stopped Ohio St for a half last week. I like this game a lot. When Washington is driving, they bring an OER of 111 (97th) and face an elite Hawkeye DER of 167 (21st). Iowa has done better than expected (last week notwithstanding) on the offensive side of the ball with an OER of 158 (12th) which will compete against an even better Huskie DER of 224 (9th). Again, points may be hard to come by (Vegas over/under at 41.5), and Vegas thinks Iowa will hold on with a less-than-home-field-advantage Hawkeye-2.5. The GCR sees a road upset but extraordinarily close with WASH at just partial points above 50% and to cover. This could be something like 14-13 and it wouldn’t surprise me at all.
…..
Liberty fumbled in their next possession; a scoop and score gives FIU a quick 10-3 lead with 14:52 in the half.
…..
The 3:30 game is the only neutral site contest of the week when Texas (5-0/1) and Oklahoma (4-1/28) meet in this year’s version of the Red River Rivalry – inaugural SEC season. As the only undefeated SEC team remaining, and the only one in the GCR top 10 after a tremendous start by the conference, the path to a high seed in the first 12-team playoff is completely in the Longhorns’ hands. When they have the ball, they bring a top 3 OER of 166 (3rd) and will face a top 25 Sooner DER of 189 (16th). When OKLA is on offense, a respectable OER of 132 (44th) take of a top 3 TEX DER of 325 (3rd). Texas is the only team to have both OER and DER in the top 5. Vegas sees a big win for Texas-14.5 and the GCR agrees with the win, TEX 54%, but it will be much closer (as rivalries often are). Oklahoma will cover, but take the loss.
…..
Liberty just tied the game up 10-10 with a 3-yd rush – 8:16 in the half.
…..
The game of the week kicks off at 7:30 when Ohio St (5-0/2) travels west to Oregon (5-0/8) in a GCR Top 10 matchup. Indiana (6-0/3) is idle and Penn St (5-0/6) who is at Southern Cal this week, are also undefeated in conference, but it just feels like the winner of this game has an invitation to the Big Ten championship game, which could just be a rematch. When the Buckeyes are driving, they bring an elite OER of 162 (6th) facing an Oregon DER of 164 (26th). When the Ducks have the ball, an OER of 141 (30th) faces the best DER in the country of 353 (1st). Vegas sees OHST-3.0 in a close one and the GCR agrees. It will be close, and Ohio St will win, but only 52% chance. The GCR sees Oregon’s home field advantage making the game closer. I could joke and say the uniform colors alone would distract anyone. The Ducks will cover.
…..
That’s it for this week. Enjoy the games and look for the next iteration of the Top 263 on Sunday. Thank you for reading and sharing with others, G
