Chris Williams, New Mexico State hosts Alcorn State (FCS) – ahh, homecoming…Troy put up 733 yards up on the Braves earlier this year. Ouch.
Jarett Dillard (right, Houston Chronicle), Rice at Tulsa (71)- potential fantasy game of the year! Dillard has a huge lead in the active career TD catch mark (50-28), and his tandem with Chase Clement is histories most prolific TD combo (cool picture gallery of North Texas game here) at 40 and counting. Tulsa BlitzIndex looks OK, but they had trouble stopping FCS Central Arkansas last week – granted UCA has an NFL prospect at QB but that was not the tune-up they needed ahead of the Owls.
Mike Thomas, Arizona hosts Washington (#116) – Start of the week as Washington defense is likely as bad as their BlitzIndex suggests, but they have lined up opposite BYU and Oklahoma already. With Locker hurt the Huskies will likely struggle to maintain field position that only helps AZ.
Jeremy Maclin, Missouri at Nebraska (39)- the Husker defense has seen nothing like this all season, wouldn’t shock me to see the Tigers score 50 again. They remind me a lot of that 2006 Louisville team that could not be stopped. Read the rest of this entry →
When upsets shake up the Top 25 lists, when Rice scores 77, when the Bulldogs are down 31-0 between the hedges at halftime (see pic, ICON SMI) and when Northwestern is 5-0 – it may seem like chaos has broken out in the college football world.
With winds of change swirling around us, we take comfort in the numbers and the BlitzIndex gives you a great tool to do the same as you approach your starting lineups for Week Six.
As superfan Neil Young states on the Forum and in emails to me, and I paraphrase, “You gotta look at these numbers in context of strength of schedule, do you really think that Northwestern and Kentucky are Top Ten defenses?” His core point is correct, and perhaps I have not communicated it well enough… Read the rest of this entry →
EL PASO – Live from that beautiful West Texas town, where I just witnessed UTEP slaughter the alma mater rather unmercifully.
Never saw a 64 yard FG, made, in person…well, until last night. That Jose Martinez (UTEP PK)…he sure can kick!
And, maybe your fantasy team can get some “kick” this upcoming week, as many programs get into the meat of their conference schedule. Some, like Oklahoma State QB Zac Robinson(pictured, thanks IconSMI), will get, at least, an easier matchup. Read the rest of this entry →

NEW YORK (AP) — Oklahoma, where the No. 1 ranking rests again.
The Sooners sit atop the AP Top 25 on Sunday after the first upset-filled weekend of the season gave the media poll a powerful shake. Alabama was both a mover and a shaker, as the Crimson Tide rose to No. 2 after a surprising 41-30 pounding of Georgia.
Previously top-ranked Southern California lost at Oregon State to set the tone for a weekend that brought back memories of the topsy-turvy 2007 season.
On Saturday, two more top-five teams fell. Florida was stunned at home by Mississippi, 31-30. Georgia, which started the season No. 1, was down 31 points by halftime to Alabama and never recovered.
