Well looking at the Noon starts (played a bunch of others such as Ole Miss , Marshall , Tulsa , ASU , Iowa State and Zona earlier in the week , as well as Wyoming , Buffalo and some totals that I recall )
Right now the noon games that stand out to me are Minnesota / Over , NcState , and Temple .
The Minnesota game mostly because just tough to believe FAU can beat them two years in arow. I know thats a terrible reason but think FAU offense is gonna have its hand full and while FAU can obviously toss the ball and Minnys pass defense is weak just think being so one dimensonal will hurt them . Probably be close to the spread but still think Minny takes it by a TD+...Last year game wasnt a true 3 pt game but Weber had 4 picks and Smith 0 . The obvious difference in the game and home field just makes a huge difference for mid majors in college. Teams arent that different and the spread is the same except Minny is home....Minny had 7 turnovers last year and the crucial 2nd Q when they wer eoutscored 21-0 in a tie game there were 2 scores after turnovers for FAU...
Then NCState catching a TD at home. There defense has played well and keep the games respectable at SC and Clemson. Now that defense is on its home field and there isnt much that has impressed about ECU. They were handed a win by a sloppy and offensively challenged VaTech , I think the COL game says all you need to about the current state of WVU and Tulane gave them one helluva a game IMO. ECU could not run the ball @ Tulane , they first scored on a blocked FG , they had a 51yd TD pass and scored inside the final 2 minutes to win the game trailing by 3. Only 3 of 10 on 3rd down and total yards were the same ...simply put pts should be at a premium here making the dog valuable catching a TD at home IMO...no reason why NCST cant win this game of they make a couple of plays on offense like Tulane was able to .
Temple - Lik ethe points because Penn State hasnt been tested at all. The bets team they played was Oregon State who was only flying across the country after a tough opening loss on the road to play what as 12:30 game there time and were down 35-7 at half.....dont think Penn State scores much but 28+ pts is some value IMO...I just dont think they walk over Temple and if they do it will happen by halftime.....
Also like CMU , Troy and East Mich as possible dog plays ......:shake:
