I've said it before and I'll say it again: Oddsmakers are the only ones that can be trusted with the responsibility of ranking teams. That said it's still pretty frustrating to play the underdog role on a neutral field against a team that we outrank in every major poll.

If I were an objective observer I would put my money on OSU as well. They have a record of scoring a lot of points in the first quarter, get most of their points by using their speedy backs who can catch the ball and run in open space on the outside (thank goodness for logan), and they generally have a great passing game which is our defensive weakness.

That said, I'm not, so Go Cougars!!!!! We are going to win!!

OSU is also 5-0 in bowl games with their current coach, all since 2003. Go Cougs! No chance of thinking this is an 'unworthy' opponent...

Meh, the line is close, and they usually lean it one way to try and get some money out of those stingy, non-gambling (supposedly) Mormons.


I'm just a regular, everyday normal guy,
I can't afford a car, I use public transportation,
I don't mind, I read till I reach my destination,
sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,
the money I save, this stuff is off the hook,

Them Beavers are the real deal. So's the Coug's. The Beav's played the Duck's pretty tough. I'm nervous. Cautiously optimistic for the Coug's - blue goggle & all!

This may be true. The line has moved down from -2.5 to -1, last I checked.
