Two Plus Two Older Archives - NCAA football plays for 11/5

YTD 9-5.

Kansas' offense has been absolutely offensive all season long. Were it not for a very strong defense bailing them out, they could easily be winless on the season. Nebraska's defense should easily contain the Jayhawks in bad field position all day long, and capitalize on a couple of turnover for scores. Take KANSAS +1.

Tyrone Willingham must be wondering what he has gotten himself into right now as he watches the players he recruited at Notre Dame contend for a BCS bowl. The Huskies will likely go winless in PAC 10 play in his first season at the helm as they host an Oregon St. team that dominated Arizona last weekend but lost with a flurry of turnovers. Take WASHINGTON +4.

Tennessee has been so disappointing on the offensive side of the ball that Phil Fulmer fired his coordinator after the stunning home loss to a South Carolina team that had never before won in Knoxville.... a South Carolina team that did the near impossible and surrendered 48 points in an SEC contest this season. Meanwhile Notre Dame just gave head coach Charlie Weis' contract an extension in their jubilation over the sudden and amazing turnaround he has brought to the program. Take TENNESSEE +8.

Missouri stumbled into Lawrence, Kansas as 6pt chalk and promptly lost straight up scoring only 3 points in the process. Colorado two weeks ago blistered the same Jayhawk team by a 44-13 score and hammered A&M the week before in Boulder 41-20. Take MISSOURI +11.5.

Rutgers is the new darling of the Big East, in contention scarily enough for a BCS bowl bid. USF's only road trip so far in the conference resulted in a solid thumping at the hands of Pitt. Rutgers once again will be primed and ready at home , looking to solidify its bowl position. Take SOUTH FLORIDA +3.

The party is finally over in Evanston. NW's cinderella slipper was shattered by a focused Michigan team who barely escaped Iowa the week before with a hardfought overtime win. The Hawkeyes have had 2 weeks to get ready for this one and prep for the spread offense. Take NORTHWESTERN +2.5
