ALMOST made the cut...

#24 Kansas at #3 Texas (Good to see Rock Chalk back in Top 25, but Hook 'Em should make short work in Austin. Hate to leave Top 25 game off the slate)

South Carolina at #23 Tennessee (We all saw what Spencer Rattler did to Vols last season. UT should be too much for Gamecocks on Rocky Top in 2023)

Appalachian State at Louisiana-Monroe (Apps 2 TD favs in important Sun Belt game)

San Diego State at Air Force (Aztecs 2-3 with tough schedule. Falcons one of best non-Power 5 teams in NCAA)

#8 Penn State at Northwestern (Cats showed some life with W over Gophers last weekend)

_______________________________________________

ALMOST made the cut...

Nebraska at #22 Colorado (Matt Rhule vs. Deion Sanders... what more could you ask for? Does anyone really trust Rhule in this game, or any game, for that matter? Home opener in CRAZY Boulder!!!)
