Duke beat Northwestern Saturday and is now 3-0. A farce taht the Blue Devils were not voted #1 in the country after beating those 3 powerhouses - Clemson, Lafayette, Northwestern.

Duke plays Connecticut this weekend but not sure the game will happen - Connecticut may refuse to play for their own players' safety.

No. 14 Oregon State travels to No. 21 Washington State this week, to play what one sportswriter described as The Leftovers Bowl.

I'm sure the game after that (Notre Dame) will be One for the Ages.

My prediction
Duke 73
Notre Dame 1

Colorado State's Henry Blackburn was eviscerated on talk shows and social media after his dirty hit on Travis Hunter and now he's receiving death threats.

Welcome to college football.

My prediction
Duke 73
Notre Dame 1

I see. I guess Las Vegas will follow your lead, and install the Dukies as 72-point favorites with a 74 pt over/under.
I'm sure the Irish expect to lose, but many will take ND with the points. I'd probably take that bet also.

People out there making death threats and here’s Travis Hunter, dressed in a giraffe onesie, saying: “That’s football, sometimes stuff like that happens”

Not much of a betting man, but my favorite bet on college football occurred back circa 1977 when I was on Tour. Wake Forest was getting ready to play Oklahoma when Oklahoma had all those running backs and the wishbone-T. The spread was something like 35 points. I bet Joe Inman, a Wake Forest grad, $5 that Oklahoma would win by at least 60. Oklahoma covered for me although I can't remember the score.

1974: Oklahoma 63, Wake Forest 0 (was the only time they have ever met)

Ouch.
I wonder if anyone bet the 1916 Georgia Tech vs. Cumberland game. . . . Final Score: Cumberland 0 - GaTech 222.
John Heisman, he of the trophy, was the GT coach.

Saturday's Colorado - Colorado State game, which kicked off at 10:20 PM eastern time, was the 5th most watched regular season college football game in the history of ESPN. I think it's safe to say that the school is getting its money's worth from Coach Prime.

As someone with some connections to Dartmouth (lived in NH part of about 30+ years - spoke there multiple times - attended basketball games and track meets there), this is a guy we probably should have known more about - a big loss for college athletics - https://home.dartmouth.edu/news/2023...ddy-teevens-79

RIP Buddy Teevens

I remember him from Tulane.
