Section 400’s Week 6 College Football Roundtable

Happy Saturday to all that celebrate! As they do every Saturday, the guys from Section 400 will go through the top storylines heading into the monstrous slate on each College Football Saturday.

Find out below what Section 400 writers Brian Hauch and Jack Albanese, are most intrigued about in week six.

Meaty Slate

Gentlemen, we have have plenty of fun games to look forward to this Saturday. Which one(s) will you be watching?

BH: Auburn cannot lose a football game this week. That alone makes me extremely happy. Of course I’ll be keeping an eye on the Red River Rivalry, and I believe Colorado hosting Kansas State is going to be a ton of fun. I’ll be watching the 7:30 PM double slater of LSU vs. Mississippi and Oregon vs. Ohio State as well.

MK: Obviously everyone is watching Oregon Ohio State, but I want to see what Pitt can do as they’re finally ranked!

JA: I’ll be keeping an eye on Cal vs Pitt @12, Texas vs Oklahoma @3:30, OSU vs Oregon @7:30

Coast-to-Coast

Ohio State plays Oregon in a battle of top 3 teams in prime time to end the week. Which team is taking home a massive conference win tonight?

BH: It feels like this is the game Ryan Day and Ohio State finally prove how good they as a program this season with a lopsided win over a solid Oregon team. The Buckeyes will take that momentum and turn it into a BIG 10 title.

MK: I know our guy Meyers is all over Indiana and I’m not far behind, but I’ll have to give the nod to Ohio state or anyone but Penn state.

JA: Neither of these teams have easy schedules to close out the year, but the winner of this game should win the conference. My money is on Ohio State.

Hatred

Some of us already mentioned this game, but can Oklahoma pull off some magic in the ‘Red River Rivalry’?

BH: The Jackson Arnold benching still is very odd to me but Michael Hawkins Jr. has been a “dawg” of sorts since taking over the starting role. I don’t think the Sooners can pull out a victory, but this rivalry game will be much closer than the spread (16.5) indicates.

MK: No, they barely beat Auburn.

JA: Sorry Boomer Sooners but with both of these teams coming off a bye, Texas will show up ready to take care of business at the Cotton Bowl.

Money Bags

Favorite bet(s) today?

BH: I picked Tennessee as my National Champion and they let me down by putting up a dud last week. I love the “Vols” in a bounce back spot this week against Florida though. Give me Tennessee (-14.5) and the team total over 32.5.

MK: I’ll give you two. Pitt (-130) at home against Cal and Rutgers (-125) hosting Wisconsin.

JA: I’ll go with Ohio State vs. Oregon OVER 54 total points and Tennessee (-14.5) vs. Florida.

 

Underdog

Which underdog shocks the world today?

BH: It’s Oklahoma with the points (+17) for me. In terms of a winner, I love LSU and Colorado at home with (+3.5) spreads.

MK: Let’s go with four. USC (+3.5), South Florida (+7.5), Central Michigan, and Arkansas State.

JA: Cal (+3.5) might upset Pitt but I think it’s a big bounce back week for favorites.
