BIG TEN EVERYTHING.
It's that kind of morning here as Oklahoma St.'s ridiculously entertaining loss last night sets up a potential LSU-Bama rematch for the national championship should they both remain undefeated. But before we get ahead of ourselves, let's check out what scouting can be had out of this early slate (and yes, I got a game into this week's watchlist with more to come).
No. 16 Nebraska at No. 18 Michigan, ESPN: Check out the line battles between the Wolverine's offensive line and Nebraska's big men up front on defense. Michigan C David Molk leads the unit that will have its hands full with DT Baker Steinkuhler and DE Cameron Meredith.
No. 17 Wisconsin at Illinois (watchlisted), ESPN2: Again, the line battle here merits attention. Wisconsin boasts an incredibly talented offensive line, though standout C Peter Konz is sidelined for a while with an ankle injury. See if they can hold up against the Illini's impressive pair of DE Whitney Mercilus and DT Akeem Spence.
I'll try to update this thread with the next round of games and what to watch for. Drop it here.

O. State didn't look as good as L.S.U. or Alabama
but Blackmon made espn’s top 10 plays of the day with a spectacular catch. I really hope we draft him. Although it’s looking like we’re gonna need a whole new offensive line.

My goodness, Illinois is winning sloppy
They ended the first half with a flurry of penalties and gobbledy-gook. Rams’ college brethren?

Nope.
They’ve already scored 2 TD’s… the 2011 Rams only dream of such things

did you just write "my goodness"?
Beating off the dog is never appropriate when we have company over...... I mean EVER!
you know how we do
what do you think of Spence I think he is vastly overrated. He struggles to get off block, which in essence is his job.

In the Mich. game ...
Nebraska not only had to beat the team but also the ZEBRAs. I ’ve never seen a more poorly called game in my life !
Go RAMs !!!
