The Tide score 38 in the first half and 7 in the second (and zero in the 4th quarter). That's what I meant about cupcake games. Final 45-3 'Bama, they do not cover

Ducks win 57-16, and like 'Bama did not score a point in the 4th quarter.

OK so it wasn't so easy but they do cover, final 40-30 Buckeyes

BUT...it ain't gonna happen. Washington is much improved but Stanford is better. The Cardinal easily covers the 7 1/2.

This was a great game, Stanford juuuuust barely hangs on 31-28 on an overturned 4th down completion on what would have been a first down in range for a long tying field goal. It was, however, the right call

Wrong again. Louisville wins but fails to cover, 30-7
