No blockbusters to start the day. Wisconsin at Alabama has intersectional appeal but nobody is giving the Badgers much of a chance to spring an upset as a 3-TD underdog.
Oregon at Northwestern. The only suspense is how large the margin of the Ducks victory. They're favored by 4 touchdowns.
Clemson at Georgia Tech. Clemson not looking like the powerhouse they were billed to be. Tech is 2-0 to include the road win at Colorado. Clemson favored by 3. I'm not terribly interested in the game but on paper it looks like the most interesting and competitive of the noon matchups.
Meanwhile, I posted here a few days ago that if the oddsmakers did put up a point spread on our Villanova game, it would likely be in the 45-50 range. Well it was listed yesterday at 48.5. I don't think there is much to learn...and not a whole lot to gain...by stomping the likes of Villanova.
That said, if the Wildcats keep the game respectable, that could be a red flag by itself for us. I mean, we knew in August that our season wouldn't really start until September 27.
