The auburn game was all auburn after that first quarter. Looks like Oregon is overrated. They will win games out west, but the hype of them having a huge year is over already.
A few others like that. I was underwhelmed with Ohio state, Texas a and m,
Michigan, and nebraska. All over rated, and should have good lines due to their performance. A few others slipping my mind I'm sure, like south carolina and Tennessee, though I didn't expect much from them.
Teams I were impressed with were Alabama after that first quarter of rust. They looked amazing after that. Maryland put up 79-0. That's impressive regardless who you're playing. Lsu looked really impressive, as did wisconsisn. Everyone else kind of looked as expected. Clemson looked ok, but their qb didn't play even close to Heisman level as people expected. He flat out played bad.
All of those upsets and under performing games should make for some softer lines this week.
I'm going to be on Oklahoma tonight. First half and full game. I just can't get Houston getting thumped 70 to 14 by army in their bowl game last season. Oklahoma is a style point team, so I see them trying to run it up as much as possible. Hurts is a really underrated qb, and he will want to put on a show in his first game there. If Oklahoma play a cover 3 hybrid most of the time, it should limit Houston big plays. Oklahoma isn't exactly good at defence, but I think Houston is even worse on that side. Everything in this game is an advantage for Oklahoma in what should be at fast paced game, I think giving at td a quarter is value.
