Thanks Indy. Hope we win some cash.
1* Oklahoma St. -6 Even if Gerry Bohanon plays, this spread won't go much below 6. If we learn he's out or hampered in his running, then it could go to 7+. Bohanon's escapability and running are a large part of Baylor's success on offense. His 107 yards on the ground were the difference in their win over Oklahoma. I also just think Okie State has the better defense. While Baylor's defense certainly played this season, Okie State's was exceptional. They also are good at turnovers and on special teams. If Baylor's freshman QB is the starter or plays most of the game, I think the Cowboys will really make him look bad. Okie State QB Spenser Sanders is probably never going to play much in the NFL, if at all, but he's extremely competitive, experienced and has those leadership qualities that has helped his team shine this year. The Cowboys have had so many dominant performances, and that's not easy in the Big 12 or one of the upper FBS conferences. Mike Gundy has been a pretty good bowl coach, and this game is sort of like a bowl game that might get them to the playoff.

Oregon got clobbered last game. Massacred.
So did UTSA (I realize they had clinched the conference championship game and No Texas needed the win for blow eligibility...
Any chance the Oregon and or UTSA head coaches are leaving and the players know it, though it is not official?
I always get suspicious this time of yr when a good team gets completely blown out.
Any rumors on those two?
Also you still have to wonder about Cincy coach though those players have huge motivation to win tomorrow, irregardless...

I'm at a loss why "motivation" is always such a point.
These are 20 year olds. 95% play because they love the game and the broads and the parties.
They always play as hard as they can because they haven't learned to be slackers yet, like the pros.

Oregon coach not leaving. This game is probably more important to them than even their bowl game. Could have a couple of opt outs at bowl game. Oregon's blowout loss to Utah is hard to take for a team that rarely loses, but never gets stomped. UTSA coach might leave, but I doubt that effects this game.
Coaster, I agree with your sentiments about motivation. College kids might come out a little flat or unfocused, but they are motivated almost always. They live for these games. Imagine how hard it is for the bench players who hardly play.
1* Wake Forest/ Pitt- over 71.5 This number could be higher and it would still be tempting. I just haven't been good at totals, so keeping it small. Wake is the perfect over team. Pitt hasn't faced their very effective RPO offense, and Pitt struggles with pass defense anyways. Wake's defense has allowed some of their ACC opponents record scoring games this season. Clemson finally broke out for 47, UNC 58. NC State 42, Army 56... Sam Hartman has had a great year, and has worked his way into NFL draft consideration. Yet Kenny Pickett might be the most draft worthy QB on the board. He's made me money. Pickett has been able to buy time moving around the pocket, or outside it, instead of getting sacked, or stripped of the ball, like 2020 and 2019. His accuracy on all throws has been excellent. Lots of playmakers all over, bad tackling all over. Worth a unit just to watch this game.
