More for Jan 2

Going to add another 2 musings here.....

15. Florida -2 v Ohio St: This line keeps getting steamed down, and the public is all over the short dog here. I understand people's repulsion for Florida...they can't score, their coaching staff is in a flux and led by a psychopath, but to me, there's value in these guys. These teams are pretty much mirror images of each other. Ohio St QB Braxton Miller has improved, but he is not the end all be all that people are hoping he'll be today. His improvement came against defenses like Purdue and Michigan...now he's going to be facing a super aggressive, athletic, lighting fast Florida defense, and he took enough sacks for OSU to be ranked 117th in the country in sacks allowed. I think they will struggle to crack 200 yards. The same might be true for Florida, but believe it or not, this OSU defense represents a drop in class for them. They've already played Alabama, LSU, South Carolina and Florida St, 4 of the top 10 defenses in the country. It's no wonder they haven't performed. Also, at the end of the day, I have a fast SEC team against a Big Ten team with a plodding offense, the game is being played in Florida, and by kickoff, it might be a pick 'em. If OSU comes out and handles them, more power to them and good for the Big 10, but I'll take my chances with the other side.

16. Okahoma St -4 v Stanford: I think Stanford will realize that Okie St's defense isn't as porous as most think, and I'd be very surprised if the 'Boys don't get at least a couple turnovers out of Luck. Also, we've seen what happens when Stanford plays a solid spread attack. I think Stanford has gotten fat on a weak schedule, and I'll be surprised if Okie St doesn't move it on them effectively. I'm not wild about the 4 points, but I think OSU wins this one, similar to how Oregon took them down.
