Note: I forgot to compensate for the lack of games this week like I believe I did last year. We'll just roll with all of the FBS games as I can't make a complete slate out of it. I don't think anybody liked the FCS playoff bonus games in the past :lol:

Games:

1. Iowa State at TCU
2. Louisiana Tech at Marshall (C-USA Championship)
3. Houston at Cincinnati
4. SMU at UConn
5. Oklahoma State at Oklahoma
6. Alabama vs. Missouri (SEC Championship, in Atlanta)
7. Temple at Tulane
8. Kansas State at Baylor
9. Florida State vs. Georgia Tech (ACC Championship, in Charlotte)
10. Wisconsin vs. Ohio State (B1G Championship, in Indianapolis)
11. Fresno State at Boise State (MWC Championship)
12. Navy vs. Army (in Philadelphia, played 12/13/14)
Running bowl/MSU/OSU record '05-present: 11-32

The coach doesn't complete passes. I see that as a problem.

So the coach does however, recognize what you say and make appropriate adjustments. Meyer is as good as any when it comes to getting a lot out of the players he has.

He does, but this is a pretty tall order. Jones has a better arm than Miller or Barrett. He doesn't read defenses as well as the other two. He is a pretty good straight line runner, but he isn't going to fool anyone. In the Illinois game I saw him throw a 40 yard bullet to Devin Smith for a touch down. Then I saw him loose control of the ball and throw the ball 6 feet to the ground.

I've never met a team, coach, or player that would pass the Spence test. It's like the Kobayashi Moru. OSU will be just fine.
