A quick reaction off the top of my head... Nebraska and Alabama could be in trouble there... UCLA could be in a heap of trouble... ND and A&M had better be ready or those could be trap games...
It's never to early for me to start my "drop two or drop none" rant... If you drop zero, that last week (with fewer games) still comes in to play and may be important...and everybody better not miss any weeks. If you drop one...that last week will be the one dropped for everybody that doesn't miss a week...meaning that those who miss a week (like my son did last year) will still lose lots of points and only get to catch up a few of them on that short week, which will be counted for them but not enough points to make up the difference. If you really want to give folks a free pass on missing a week, or really want to drop the week that you picked lousy...you have to drop two weeks so that both the zero points fiasco gets dropped and also that last "half points" week.
Stu is 100% correct. The only way the last week does not get dropped is if you missed one week completely. So zero and one are essentially the same. I vote for two or in the same vein don't have any short weeks, then drop one.
I see where the ND at Purdue game with be a nite game. ND slated for 5 nite games this fall, most ever. USC @ ND and away games at Mich., Stanford, and a "neutral" site game vs Md. are the others.
Ohio State has three night games...probably would have more except the B1G currently bans night games in November.
