Baylor 50 #16 TCU 48
Mr. Diehard's Take: He is that good!
My Friday Night Take Em To The Bank starts 0-1 thanks to that kid!
QB Robert Griffin III lit up last year's #1 ranked defense going 21/27 for 359 yards and 5 big TDs in a shootout in Texas with the Bears racking up 564 total yards. RB Terrance Ganaway rushed for 120 yards and a TD and caught 6 passes for 126 yards and 2 TDs. WR Kendall Wright caught 12 balls for 189 yards and 2 TDs. Chancey Casey and Mike Hicks led the defense with 10 tackles each.
TCU's QB Casey Pachall threw for 251 yards, 4 TDs and 1 Int. WR Logan Brock caught 2 TDs to lead the Horned Frogs Offense. TCU is out of my Top 25!

SATURDAY TAKE EM TO THE BANK MATCHUP OF THE WEEK
#3 LSU (0-0) (+3.5) vs #4 Oregon (0-0)
Mr. Diehard's Take: This is a big one. A rare first week Top 5 matchup. Oregon comes to Jerryworld looking to atone for the loss against Auburn for the National Championship last season. LSU is ready to get on the field and take out their frustrations with being in the news for all the wrong reasons the last few weeks.
Its hard for me to go against an SEC team in a big game.
LSU +3.5 wins outright. Take Em To The Bank!
Other Take Em To The Bank Picks
#6 Boise State (0-0) (-3.5) vs #18 Georgia (0-0)
Mr. Diehard's Take: A big game for both teams at the Georgia Dome. Quiet as its kept this could be the game that determines if Georgia coach Mark Reicht stays on or gets off the hot seat. I can't see Boise State whipping Georgia in their own backyard.
Georgia +3.5 in the upset. Take Em To The Bank!
#15 Notre Dame (0-0) (-10.5) vs USF (0-0)
Mr. Diehard's Take: Notre Dame looks to righten the ship after a subpar debut season for coach Chip Kelly. But USF coach Skip Holtz made a national name out of East Carolina by surprising ranked teams. Maybe not a win, but USF will go blow for blow with ND.
USF +10.5 covers. Take Em To The Bank!
#14 South Carolina (0-0) (-20.5) vs East Carolina (0-0)
Mr. Diehard's Take: Speaking of the ECU Pirates, they are on the same stage today that they were when they upset a Top 20 team in Virginia Tech at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Steve Spurrier is playing Quarterback musical chairs and the Pirates are a dangerous offense team and has a much improved defense. This game will be closer than what people think.
East Carolina +20.5 covers. Take Em To The Bank!
Southern Miss (0-0) (-13.5) vs. Louisiana Tech (0-0)
Mr. Diehard's Take: Southern Miss is a sleeper BCS Buster, Louisiana Tech is Louisiana Tech. I smell blowout!
Southern Miss (-13.5) covers easy. Take Em To The Bank!
