The buzz: This one has a bit of intrigue. Northern Iowa was 12-1 last season and is ranked fourth in Division I-AA. One thing to consider: UNI's pass defense was mediocre last season.
The line: No line. | The pick: BYU 37-21.

UNI's secondary is likely to be much better than last years - Farley has focused on that as that is the reason he was stopped in the playoffs.

One more reason to hate Delaware, according to the article

Delaware at Maryland , 3:45 p.m., ESPNU
The buzz: Maybe Delaware will get an emotional lift from Joe Biden being the Democratic vice presidential candidate. Biden was a running back on the Blue Hens' 1961 freshman team.
The line: No line. | The pick: Maryland 24-16.

And unless I missed it, not on FCS team is favored. I think that he missed the James Madison Duke call. I would happily take JMU to cover the seven points.

Iowa State definitely is note getting any love (deservedly). Still JMU is a better team than SDSU unless there is a crash involving the JMU team bus on the way to the game.

I would call that "pick" of score to be some props for our Panthers. I hope the boys strap 'em on tight and show why we feel we should be considered a threat to FBS teams.
