@Oklahoma St. -30.5 FAU

Many people consider FAU to be the worst Div. I-A team. It's a little scary that OSU is favored by that much over anybody, but I'll take 'em.

Pick: Oklahoma St.
vs. Line: Oklahoma St.

Texas -31.5 @Rice

@Toledo -4 Kansas

Toledo somehow managed to lose to W. Michigan 31-10 last week. They can't hang with a Big 12 team.

Pick: Kansas
vs. Line: Kansas

Last Week

Straight Up: 12-0
vs. Line: 7-5
mea culpa: Kansas. They were 23.5 point favorites and managed to only win by 2.

Worst to First

After ranking last in the country in pass defense in 2005, the Aggies are first... and 8th in Total Defense.
