Big 10 Preview
Six Big Ten schools qualified for bowl games in 2004, as a loss by Northwestern in its season finale kept that number from running to seven. It is becoming the norm for this conference to place that many teams in the postseason, and in fact, for 2005, the Big Ten has relationships with officially seven bowl games. Of the six teams that did play, their record was only 3-3, with all three defeats coming in heartbreaking fashion. Also, none of the top teams were ever in national title consideration, so in that sense, it was a down year for the Big Ten Conference.  |
Purdue
Play On: Iowa 10/8
The home team is 8-3 ATS in this series. Coach Tiller and the Boilermakers are 22-8-2 ATS in Big 10 home games. |
Play Against: at Penn State 10/29
Purdue is 3-11 against the spread under Co. Tiller as an away underdog. The Boilers are 1-10 ATS as Big 10 road dogs of 7 or less points. |
Michigan
Play On: Pen State 10/15
Superb situation for Michigan, who catch the Nittany Lions off big home game against Ohio State. The Wolverines are 5-1 ATS against Penn State. |
Play Against: at Wisconsin 9/24
Despite the fact that the Badgers will be down this year, Michigan is 3-7 ATS vs. Bucky and 8-20 ATS as a road favorite. Wolverines have dropped last SEVEN road openers to the spread. |

Miami travels north to take on rival Florida State
The college football season gets off to a fast start as national powers Miami and Florida State meet on the season's first weekend. This Labor Day clash could go a long way in deciding each team's future for the 2005 campaign. However, it may not be the last time these rivals get together, as each is expected to be a serious contender to reach the inaugural ACC championship game in Jacksonville in December. All StatFox visitors have access to the key handicapping trends, situations, score projections and more for this big game! That's right, Miami at Florida State is our FREE week one College Football FoxSheet!
Miami comes off a 9-3 season which was culminated by a 27-10 victory over Florida in the Peach Bowl. However, the 2004 campaign was disappointing for the 'Canes in that it was the first time in five years that they didn't win 10 pr more games. They will attempt to improve in 2005 with a younger squad, headed by potential star QB Kyle Wright. Meanwhile, in Tallahassee, the Seminoles also come off of a 9-3 season. They knocked off West Virginia in the Gator Bowl their last time out. Unfortunately, the news of the past offseason was filled with far more negative then positive, and the team will be starting with several fresh faces at key positions. This game should be a great barometer for both teams.
Keep in mind that Miami has compiled a 6-0 SU & 5-1 ATS mark against Florida State over the past five seasons!See this and all of the rest of the key game information by visiting our FREE College Football FoxSheet! |
