Notes
Miami vs Central Michigan – Miami OC Dan Enos was Central Michigan head coach from 2010-2014 and compiled a 26-36 record.
Indiana is a 27 point favorite vs UConn. 27!!!!! Has Indiana ever been a 20+ point favorite in football ever?? No way. This is one of those matchups that’s a better basketball game than football – good thing the basketball game is happening in December at Madison Square Garden.
