2. Speaking of point spreads, OU is favored by 17.5 this Saturday ... against TCU. That should really sting Hog fans.
3. Who is running CBS Sports? And why does he have such lousy taste in SEC football games? How else do you explain The Tiffany Network picking Tennessee (firing Fulmer) at Auburn (15) instead of Alabama (8) at Georgia (3)?
4. Speaking of Tennessee, you have to love the Vols' ingenuity in trying to slow down Florida ...
5. The Wildcat's success in the NFL (see Miami vs. New England): Proof of Gus Malzahn's genius? Discuss and prepare a 2-page report by Sunday's noon kickoffs.

First off, this is an entertaining "5 things." I also wondered about CBS picking up that game instead of Alabama-Georgia. That's just a bad programming decision.
Regarding the Arkansas game, I have been telling people they could make some money this year by always betting against Arkansas covering the spread. I don't think Saturday will be any exception.
Thanks.
After more dedicated research (aka web surfing), I discovered ESPN was allowed two preseason game selections. The 4-Letter took Auburn-LSU and Alabama-Georgia. So CBS had no choice.
I dispute the idea that Malzahn invented the Wildcat. Did he ever run it at Springdale High? From what I've heard, Danny Nutt developed it for Peyton Hillis, but it didn't work with him.
Yes, Malzahn ran it at Springdale.
But no, he did not invent it. In fact, he's made it clear he didn't invent it ...
“Wait, please don’t make it sound, you know, like I ’invented’ anything,” Malzahn, 43, said. “Football’s a game where you use ideas that you see. I’ve used everyone’s ideas. This isn’t about me at all. Please don’t make it sound that way.”
