The largest favorite to cover:
TCU (-45) vs. Stephen F. Austin, 70-7

Nine Top-10 teams won, with only Oregon slipping up because they were facing a fellow Top 10 team in Michigan State.  Top 10 teams managed to go just 3-7 ATS.

The state of Michigan swept Oregon as Harbaugh got his first win as the Wolverines' head coach against Oregon State, and MSU avenged last year's loss in Eugene by edging Oregon 31-28 in East Lansing.

Notre Dame needed some late heroics to stun Virginia in Charlottesville.  With :12 left, backup QB DeShone Kizer connected with Will Fuller to kill moneyline bettors of the Cavaliers.... and this fan.

BYU was at it again.  Easy money.  Boise State held a 24-14 lead heading into the fourth quarter before BYI took a 28-24 lead with :45 left in regulation, and then added a pick-six 15 seconds later.  Never in doubt.

They're also willing to go all out on every play, although nut shots have to be frowned upon in the Mormon religion you’d assume.

Bret Bielema made some headlines last week when he complained about the his team's tough schedule.

In the bad beat department, Boston College was a 44-point favorite over Howard.  They ran out to a 41-0 lead after one quarter, and 62-0 at half.  The third and fourth quarters were shortened to 10 minutes a piece, and 55 minutes is official for action, so the game was graded as a 'no play' despite the utter domination by BC.
