Ohio St. is the No. 1 team in the land. Ohio St. plays Michigan St. (who along with UCLA is one of the most schizophrenic programs in the nation) as 17-1/2 point favorites at the Horseshoe. No brainer, right? Ohio St. is in trouble. All previous data points thus far suggest that the Buckeyes shouldn’t even bother showing up.
And USC is just glad to be playing a non-conference game this week away from the “soft” Pac-10 and on the road away from the hostile confines of the Coliseum. Mark Sanchez gets the call at QB over John David (Booty). Tough spot: First road start for “Dirty” Sanchez is at Notre Dame Stadium in one of the most storied rivalries in college football. Well, its that or Autzen Stadium in Eugene or Memorial Stadium at Cal….? We know which poison we’d choose. Bring on the Irish!

(Quick side note: The line moved from 20 points at the beginning of the week down to 17-1/2 yesterday. Don’t usually see a 2-1/2 point jump…. very unusual but it did seem to coincide with the announcement of Sanchez over Booty at QB. The money apparently really likes an experienced hand on the road in a rivalry game).
We look for Florida (-7) to get back on track against at Kentucky. Florida has had two weeks to prepare and Kentucky will be hard-pressed to match the intensity, emotion and execution they displayed last week against LSU. Classic “let-down” scenario and the line reflects that.
In honor of B-Daddy, we want to mention the game of the season thus far for Navy. They get Wake Forest (-3) at home. We saw Wake out-physical Florida St. last week so the Midshipmen will have their hands full. Go Navy!
