overheard
Miami (Fla.) at Oklahoma — "Miami's experienced defense could give Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford problems in his second game as a starter, but Oklahoma's defense should shut down Miami's low-octane passing attack with a little help from the home crowd." Asher Fusco
Nebraska at Wake Forest — "He won't touch the 233 yards he put up last week, but 150 from Marion Lucky will be enough to win." — Taylor Bern
Oregon at Michigan "They can't possibly lose back-to-back games in the Big House, can they? Have they ever done that? If they do I call for Lloyd Carr's immediate resignation — Kelly Breckunitch
Oregon at Michigan
"Taylor Tharp looked good behind center in Boise's first game and all he really has to do is turn around and hand it to Ian Johnson." Tyler Passmore
Boise State at
"The Gamecocks haven't beaten the Bulldogs in six years. And that's not changing this year, not between the hedges." — Case Keefer
» Missouri at Mississippi
"God, I hope Missouri
loes!" — Eric Jorgensen
TCU at Texas — "Horn 'em!" — Shawn Shroyer
South Carolina at Georgia
Rice at Baylor
"Here's hoping that the teams get together, realize they both stink and call the game off" — Taylor Bern
Virginia Tech at LSU "When asked about his team at a post-game press conference, Les Miles replied, "Duh we're gonna win. We play in the SEC." — Bryan Wheeler
》 Southern Oregon at Idaho State "The Bengals don't lose at Holt Arena. Apparently that's where Idaho State plays its games." — Erick R. Schmidt
