NGT - NCAA Football Week Nine Thread

[DaveBrown74]

Not the glitziest slate in the world this weekend, but still some interesting games. I am keeping an eye on:

ND -14 at NAVY: Navy is legit good this year. Nationally ranked and undefeated. I'm surprised ND is favored by this much actually. ND has more talent but I could see this being a competitive game.

Ole Miss -18 vs Oklahoma: I think Ole Miss is better (or at least more talented) than their 18th ranking. A blowout win here against a big name program would help their season.

Mizzou +15.5 at Bama: Good SEC game. Mizzou only has one loss while Bama has two, but the game is in Bama, and Mizzou has looked shaky in a couple of wins against not very good teams. I'll be interested to see if Bama can cover this one. They need an assertive win here with already two losses on the season and a very shaky win against South Carolina. DeBoer would come under major fire (if he isn't already) if they got upset here. I don't see it happening though. Mizzou isn't that great.

Texas -17.5 at Vandy: Can Vandy shock the world again here? I highly doubt it. But we'll see.

FSU +21 at The U: FSU is utterly wretched this year (1-6 on the season). In-state rivalries can be tricky though. Can they surprise here and keep this competitive? I doubt it, but you never know.

LSU +1 at Texas A+M: By far the game of the week. Two major SEC powers. College station is a brutal place to play, especially at night. Both teams are playing very well right now. Whoever wins this game can potentially feel like they have championship aspirations.

PSU -6.5 at Wisconsin: Intriguing Big 10 matchup here. PSU is obviously very good, but Wisco is sneaky underrated in my opinion. I'm definitely interested in getting eyes on this one.


Saw that Syracuse got absolutely manhandled by Pitt earlier this week. Pitt looks good this year. So do a lot of teams you wouldn't normally expect, like Navy, Indiana, Boise St, Vandy, etc. Will be interesting to see who the 12 teams are in the playoffs. That's going to be a lot of fun.

That Indiana coach won't be there long. Look at his record, the guy never loses games no matter where he is. He'll be SEC bound asap. I think he didn't lose the whole time he was at James Madison lol.

I put money on a Vandy, I think Texas is walking and wounded. Texas Is an almost 19 point favorite.
