    Won't lie, the shutdown fullcast's SACK TIME bit is pretty well-timed given last night's sacking of Baker Mayfield 5 times

    WEEK 7: PAC-12 TO DECLARE UNDYING SUPPORT OF CHINA ANY DAY NOW

    Straight Up
    #23 Memphis (-6) @ Temple - Memphis is currently undefeated on the year, which has helped get them to a #23 ranking and the vast respect of the masses. Temple would probably also be right there had they not tripped up against what looks to be a bad Buffalo team. I'm unsure of which way this game goes, though; Memphis's best win is still Ole Miss. Meanwhile, the Owls sandwiched their Buffalo loss with being the team to break Maryland on one side and a defensive clinic against Georgia Tech on the other. So who knows!

    #10 Penn State (-3.5) @ #17 Iowa - Normally, I would say Penn State is screwed because this game is at Kinnick, but Iowa is also ranked in this game, which means they too are in danger of a ridiculous loss in Kinnick. I don't make the rules.

    Southern California @ #9 Notre Dame (-11) - Honestly, this game is fascinating for me, a person looking for anything positive in this hell of a season. If USC wins, not only does it just infuriate Irish fans, but it will infuriate Trojan fans who were hoping for a loss so they could finally fire Clay Helton. And if USC loses, everyone gets to go on TARMAC WATCH 2019. Everyone wins!

    #7 Florida @ #5 Louisiana State (-13.5) - It probably says a lot about how ridiculous LSU has been this season that Florida could be undefeated and coming off an impressive victory over Auburn and still come into the game as such a big underdog. This is a huge test for the Bayou Bengals, though. Outside of Texas (and I'm being generous here because I've heard enough talk of the Texas defense being not great in here to last a lifetime), LSU has not really faced a great defense, and that's what Florida has.

    Against the Spread
    Toledo (-25.5) @ Bowling Green - THE BATTLE OF INTERSTATE 75! I am just as surprised as you are to learn this was a named rivalry, but when putting the list together ASP said "I guessed they were a rivalry and I was right!" so who am I to judge? Anyway outside of a Week 1 road loss to Kentucky the Rockets have been very good while Bowling Green has been very bad, but it's apparently a rivalry, which should make for an interesting ATS game.

    Florida State @ #2 Clemson (-26.5) - Remember when this game meant something?

    #1 Alabama (-16.5) @ #24 Texas A&M - I get that TV executives wanted this game to be a Top 25 matchup, if only to try and help ratings for Alabama's weekly slaughter of an outmatched opponent. But this gets into that strong SEC bias we see every year. SEC fans will point to this game and say "See? Bama's beating great teams in the conference" which ignores that, at 3-2, the Aggies really shouldn't be ranked at this point, especially considering they needed to outlast a bad Arkansas team just to get a game above .500. Anyways, the Crimson Tide will win this game as part of their slow, inevitable march to the CFP.

    #15 Utah (-13.5) @ Oregon State - Oregon State is not nearly as bad as you might expect, and I'm not saying that because the Beavers walked into the Rose Bowl last week and beat my beloved Bruins by 17 points oh god why does everything hurt. But really, the Beavers offense has been very good this year, and with Utah gearing up for a matchup with Arizona State next week that could decide the division, this has all the makings of an upset.

    Hawaii @ #14 Boise State (-11.5) - Thanks to UCF's run-in with the Pitt Superweapon and subsequent loss to Cincinnati, Boise State has taken its rightful place as the front-runner for the Group of 5's NY6 auto-bid. I don't think they have a shot at getting into the Playoff at this point - this is one of the few remaining games they have left against a team that would be considered decent - but with SMU hot on their heels and with a stronger schedule from here on out, the Broncos really can't afford to lose a game the rest of the way. Also, friendly reminder that Hawaii had 6 turnovers, including 4 interceptions by the same quarterback, and still beat Arizona to start the year. This sport rules sometimes.

    GAME OF THE CENTURY OF THE WEEK (Straight Up)
    #6 Oklahoma (-10.5) vs. #11 Texas - THE RED RIVER RIVALRY! It's weird that in a year where TEXAS IS BACK, the game still feels like it should result in a solid Oklahoma victory, in part because the Sooners offense still has not skipped a beat despite being on its 3rd quarterback in 3 years. Credit to Lincoln Riley for being a genius I guess. Still, this rivalry game has seen all sorts of upsets, and Tom Herman could really use one in this game to show that the tide is beginning to turn in the conference. Also, as part of the "research" I did for this post, I learned that there are 3 different trophies given out for this game, which may make it the most B1G game in history (there's also a 4th trophy given to the winner of a Naval ROTC scrimmage, in case anyone wanted to jump on me for forgetting that).

    That FSU-Clemson line sure is something.

    I picked Clemson to cover, figuring they want to send a message after only beating UNC by a single point.

    Florida/LSU not being against the spread I think means we all pick LSU so Florida is guaranteed a bullshit victory.

    Straight Up
    #23 Memphis (-6) @ Temple - Memphis has made a name for itself in the AAC the last couple of years as the second best team in the conference. Temple hasn't.
    #10 Penn State (-3.5) @ #17 Iowa - Fuck Penn State.
    Southern California @ #9 Notre Dame (-11) - Team CHAOS.
    #7 Florida @ #5 Louisiana State (-13.5) - Fuck Florida.

    Against the Spread
    Toledo (-25.5) @ Bowling Green - I honestly have no idea.
    Florida State @ #2 Clemson (-26.5) - It'd be more surprising if Clemson doesn't cover.
    #1 Alabama (-16.5) @ #24 Texas A&M - Fuck Alabama. Bam ba lam.
    #15 Utah (-13.5) @ Oregon State - Utes'll win, probably. But won't cover.
    Hawaii @ #14 Boise State (-11.5) - Only thing better than PAC-12 After Dark is Mountain West Overnight.

    GAME OF THE CENTURY OF THE WEEK (Straight Up)
    #6 Oklahoma (-10.5) vs. #11 Texas - Team Chaos, undoubtedly.
