Your fearless leader is batting an even .500, which means you should absolutely flip a coin instead of trusting my judgement. Remember, it's a long season, and nobody is out of it yet. The current leader for the ATVS-Geaux Show staff championship is Poseur, sitting in that 10 spot log jam.

Sometimes I look like a genius (Air Force, 'Cuse, and Iowa St. all covered despite the little faith you all showed in them) and sometimes I'm a fool (trusting the SEC newbies to have a good first game, trusting Ole Miss to lose when I expect them to) Biggest upset of the week for us was Nebraska falling on the road at the Rose Bowl.

Idaho vs LSU

Why yes, I have lost my mind. ULM has Aubie staring down the barrel of 0-4. Can 'Cuse cover a 29 point spread? My magic 8 ball says no. Tennessee drops a heartbreaker, but still looks better than I thought they'd be. MIZZOU wins because SEC BABY! Kentucky has already stopped playing football for the year. Either Notre Dame OR the entire Big Ten becomes irrelevant to the national picture this weekend, and my money is on it being the Echos. Watched almost all of the Utah - Utah St game last friday and the purple aggies may have the best uni redesign I've seen in years. A note about the LSU-Idaho spread: it is the largest spread between 2 FBS teams so far this season.
