In the wake of South Florida's 23-20 win at Notre Dame Saturday, it sure feels like the storm that delayed the game twice for a total of nearly three hours is actually still hovering over South Bend. How's that for a hacky lede, eh?
Brian Kelly's Fighting Irish were truly awful ...

Notre Dame (7-5) vs. Miami (FL) (7-5) (-3)

No matter what you think of Utah, that was a stunning upset by Notre Dame. Playing with freshman quarterback Tommy Rees, without running back Armando Allen, and with what might be worst defense in college football history were it not for Michigan, the Irish still scored 28 points and held ...

Imagine that you are a workplace supervisor.
Now imagine that one of the employees you are responsible for overseeing is killed on the job as a result of your gross negligence.
Think you'd still be employed?
Exactly.
Unless we learn of facts that point to the contrary, it is difficult for me to think ...

Record after week eight: 88-38 (63-60-3 ATS)
12 pm ET
Northwestern (5-2) at Indiana (4-3) (+3)
All Indiana has left on the schedule that they can definitely win on a good day are Northwestern and Purdue. Not-so-coincidentally, those are the two wins they need for bowl eligibility. They're not beating Wisconsin, Iowa, or ...

12 pm ET
Purdue (4-2) at (11) Ohio State (6-1) (-24)
Ah, the scene of Terrelle Pryor's 2009 Waterloo. Every one of the flaws in his game (most of which still exist, by the way) came to light that afternoon in Lafayette in a stunning display ...

6 am - Read my week six picks here.
7:45 am - Jerrod Johnson says he needs to fix his turnover problem. Florida also realized this week that it needs to fix its blocking problem and Michigan mentioned how it's working on its crappy defense problem.
Also, Charlie Davies got pulled over ...

Record: 7-4 (4-6-1 ATS)
Yahoo! league record: 7-9
Noon ET
(15) Georgia Tech (1-0) at Kansas (0-1) (+14)
What a terrible time for the (already) beleaguered Turner Gill-led Kansas squad to play a brutally effective Georgia Tech team. That 6-3 loss to North Dakota State was bad enough, but now Gill's essentially talent-less team ...

GMAC Bowl
Central Michigan (11-2) vs. Troy (9-3) (+4)
A nameless, side-by-side comparison of two quarterbacks. See if you can tell me which one is Tim Tebow and which one is Dan LeFevour:
QB #1: 9,285 passing yards, 66.4 completion percentage, 88 passing TD, 16 INT, 692 rushes, ...
