Contrary to popular opinion ND's schedule is not a cupcake.
OSU fans won't be needling ND fans about Navy anymore.
LSU is happy to be out of Seattle. They didn't expect "a game" from a winless team.
WSU is still a weaker team but showed signs of life.
PU wasn't supposed to have much offense but they put up 52 on Toledo.
Barkley can play. As can McKnight despite comments to the contrary on this site.
Luck did pretty good for a frosh QB. He can throw and run.
Hiller threw for a lot of yards against UM's secondary but UM only allowed 7 points.
