Posted by deaconcat08 on 7th November 2011

Good Thoughts: 1.  Unbeaten and “Completely Covered”- While LSU and Oklahoma State apparently control their BCS Title fates, Stanford is the team who has had the best season this year according to the all-knowing Vegas oddsmakers.  Not only are the Cardinal unbeaten this season, but they are also a perfect 9-0 against the spread in [...]
