More on Week 2

Games I'm looking forward to:

* South Carolina at Georgia -- Upset Special -- South Carolina starts their run to the top of the East here.
* TCU at Texas -- Last week TCU shut down Baylor and Texas looked vulnerable against Arkansas St. A TCU win here would have them thinking about an undefeated season.
* Virginia Tech at LSU -- Two top defenses will slug it out. LSU comes out with the win with a better offense and the home crowd behind them.
* South Florida at Auburn -- I was really close to calling this game my upset special. Let's just say the Tigers better be prepared or the Bulls will walk out of Jordan-Hare with a win.
* Oregon at Michigan -- This game may be the most important one Michigan will play all year, as it will probably determine how the rest of their season will go.
* Miami at Oklahoma -- Everyone was heaping too much praise on OU after trouncing UNT. I want to see what their offense does against the Miami defense before I give them the same amount of credit.
* Alabama at Vanderbilt -- Vandy has a great chance for an upset and a statement game here.
* Bowling Green at Michigan St -- Can the Falcons do it again?
* Indiana at Western Michigan -- A game that could go either way, because it's difficult to get a good read on either team based on their Week 1 performances.
* Toledo at Central Michigan -- I just want to see if this Central Michigan team is really as bad as they looked in Week 1.


Point Spreads:

I'm not a betting man, but the following lines look interesting to me.
* West Virginia (-24.5) over Marshall
* Buffalo (+3.5) over Temple
* Bowling Green (+18) over Michigan St
* Missouri (-6) over Mississippi
* Boise St (-3) over Washington
* TCU (+9) over Texas
