College football gets underway today at 11:00 a.m. central time, 10:00 a.m. mountain time.
The games:
Purdue-some obscure state college in Pennsylvania
Indiana-Wisconsin
Michigan-Michigan State
Ohio State-Illinois
Northwestern-Iowa
Baylor-Texas A & M
Iowa State-Missouri
Oklahoma State-Texas
Kansas State-Texas Tech
Oklahoma-Kansas
The teams above in bold are franksolich's personal favorite teams, not teams necessarily favored to win.
There's of course other games, and the three years past, I covered most of them, from the four conferences that count (Big 12, Big 10, Southeastern, Pacific 10), but it was too much dashing around to get scores from four conferences, so now I just do two of them.
If anyone else however wishes to add and comment upon scores in other games on this thread, feel free.

Coach, let me make a modification to the list, and you tell me if you like it.

One wonders why Michigan and Texas A & M are having such a rough time today; I figured they'd run all over Michigan State and Baylor.
<<mispredicts once in a while.

Baylor 14, Texas A & M 24, second quarter.

Ags are having a hard time because we can't cover and RVGIII is one of the best QBs in the nation. We stop the run well and get lots of sacks, but coverage and open field tackling aren't our strong suits. That being said, our offensive line can handle anyone and Gray and Michael are the best RB tandem in the nation. If I were Sherman, I'd just line up and run the 'Bone. Tannehill's only purpose would be the read-option. Receivers would just be blockers on the perimeter.

Thank you very much for passing this on to me, sir.
As you know, I can't do radio and television is so much trouble I don't do that either, and so I have to go by what the scoreboards say on the internet, and then read about the games in the newspapers the next day.
And so during the games themselves, I have a definite deficiency of information.

Well, I goofed on that one, figuring it'd go the other way, and a lot more.
-
Ohio State-Illinois now underway.
-
Oklahoma State-Texas now underway.
You know, something odd's been going on down in Oklahoma the last 12-15 years or so.
Oklahoma's little brother used to be one of cellar-dwellers of the conference.
Nebraska had a winning streak of 42 years--42 games--against Oklahoma's little brother until recently.
And I'm sure Oklahoma itself pounded the little brother year after year, decade after decade.
It just blows the mind that Oklahoma State's now considered "competitive" in college football.
-
Ohio State 3, Illinois 0, first quarter.
We're off to an auspicious start here.
-
Oklahoma State 7, Texas 0, first quarter.
One wonders when the last time was, that Oklahoma State beat Texas.
I'll bet it was in the 1920s or something.
-
Iowa State 10, Missouri 38, third quarter.
-
Iowa State 17, Missouri 52, fourth quarter.
Oklahoma State 14, Texas 7, second quarter.
-
Whoa.
It's still Ohio State 3, Illinois 0, at halftime.
Ohio State must be doing one Hell of a defensive game.
-
Oklahoma State 14, Texas 10, second quarter.
-
Oklahoma State 21, Texas 10, second quarter.
An upset in the making.
-
Iowa State 17, Missouri 52, final.
-
I got to leave for a bit; I'll be back in a couple of hours.
Games still in progress:
Ohio State-Illinois
Oklahoma State-Texas
Games yet to come today:
Northwestern-Iowa
Kansas State-Texas Tech
Oklahoma-Kansas
-
Oklahoma State ran back the kickoff to start the second half, against Texas, for a touchdown. So what does Texas do on the ensuing kickoff? Run that back for a touchdown. Strange.

Oklahoma State 7, Texas 0, first quarter.

I'll bet it was in the 1920s or something.
Last season.

I got back home about an hour ago, and was dicking around with other stuff, and just now got back to this.
Ohio State 17, Illinois 7, final.
Northwestern 31, Iowa 41, final.
Next week, Nebraska plays Minnesota at Minnesota. Minnesota has a pretty good team, being 29-20-2 against Nebraska. Minnesota's the only team besides Oklahoma who's played Nebraska for any great length of time (say, circa at least 25 times), with a winning record against Nebraska.
-
Oklahoma State 38, Texas 26, final.
I guess I'm going to have to brush up on my reading the history of Oklahoma's little brother; I can't shake this impression of "cellar dweller," even though it's been the wrong impression for some years now.
Kansas State 41, Texas Tech 34, final.
Oklahoma 24, Kansas 10, second quarter.
-
Last season.
I just nadined the whole deal, being abysmally behind on news about Oklahoma State.
Their overall record is 519–522–40, which is something better than I thought it'd be.
And they beat Texas in 2010, 33-16.
It's an eye-opener.
I guess the memory's clouded by Nebraska's 42-game winning streak against them.
-
Oklahoma 24, Kansas 17, second quarter.
-
Alabama 52, Mississippi 7, final.
Florida 6, Auburn 17, final.
Alabama, Auburn, two wonderful teams.
I'm always for both of them in all their games excepting when Auburn plays Alabama in which case I'm always for Alabama.
-
Stanford 44, Washington State 14, final.
Arizona State 14, Oregon 7, first quarter.
-
Oklahoma 27, Kansas 17, halftime.
-
Oklahoma 30, Kansas 17, third quarter.
After a slow start, Oklahoma's about ready to burst out.
My guess is something like Oklahoma 72, Kansas 17, by the time it's over.
Oklahoma does things like that.
-
Oklahoma 33, Kansas 17, fourth quarter.
-
Oklahoma 40, Kansas 17, fourth quarter.

Oklahoma 47, Kansas 17, fourth quarter.

Oklahoma 47, Kansas 17, final.
Oklahoma must've had a few problems; I'll read about it in the newspapers in the morning.
Next week, Texas Tech plays at Oklahoma.
Alas for Texas Tech, but remember, Texas Tech a few years ago scored more points on Nebraska (this was during the Callahan era) than any other team ever did.
