Gotta throw those records out.

It’s finally Rivalry Week and we have a LOT of questions:

• Against a dominant Alabama defense, will Auburn's offense ... exist if Sean White is still pretty injured or even out?

• In a huge game with two inconsistent offenses of late, will Michigan or Ohio State do more to adjust against an excellent defense?

• Which game shouldn’t you watch and why is it Nebraska-Iowa?

• Can Minnesota ugly up the Wisconsin game and back into the B1G championship game?

• Why does Michigan State scare the bejeezus out of Ty and a number of Penn State fans ahead of a possible B1G championship berth of their own?

• Where is Utah particularly vulnerable against a scorching hot Colorado team?

• How much better is Notre Dame than their FOUR AND SEVEN record and will it matter versus a peaking USC squad?

• Even wounded, should Florida State be able to get by the anomaly that is Florida football?

... and much more!
