Actually, I fully expect LSU to win by 20, since the only two even half-decent teams ND played this year (Michigan and USC) both beat them by at least that.<\/p>\n<p><em>1\/6, International: Western Michigan vs. Cincinnati(-7.5)<\/em><br \/>\nI know nothing about either team, but I feel the need to pick an underdog.

I know, I know, they had their shot and all that, so I\u2019m not that peeved about it, but Florida\u2019s horrible offense might not get across midfield against the Buckeyes.
