College Football Insider - The Worst of the Worst in Week 9

As I reflect on the NCAAF betting world over the course of the past week, several teams have gotten under my skin and are in my doghouse. Here's who I'm ranting about from their miserable performances that cost their teams and more importantly, their college football betting backers last week.

Mississippi QB Jevan Snead... Hey kid, you were supposed to be the chosen boy for the Rebels this year in their rise into national prominence. Going 16/35 for 175 yards with a TD and two picks against Auburn is just unacceptable. That's 11 picks in the L/5 games for Snead, who has been absolutely atrocious in SEC play this season. He’s already matched his pick total from a year ago, which isn't good considering that HC Houston Nutt complained that his signal caller made too many mistakes a year ago.

Purdue QB Joey Elliott... It's understandable to struggle against Wisconsin's defense. But there's never an excuse to go 5/23 in any game against any team. Ever! If you throw out the great game he had against the Buckeyes, he's been poor at best. He's thrown three picks against just two touchdowns in his other three most recent Big Ten affairs, and has only thrown for 225 yards his L/2 games.

Nebraska HC Bo Pelini... Whatever speech Pelini gave to his Huskers at halftime needs to be thrown out. Nebraska took a 20-0 lead to the locker room against Baylor and looked like it was well on its way to notching a big victory before the Sooners came to town. But all of a sudden, the offense just stopped all together. The Cornhuskers were shut out in the second half, and a pick six in the third quarter was the icing on a cover that the Bears never should've had.

Tulsa's offense in general... C'mon Tulsa! You had the #1 offense in the land a year ago, and now you can't even beat SMU without its starting quarterback at home? We don't know whether it's the fact that QB David Johnson has departed, or whether former OC Gus Malzahn is now at Auburn, but whatever the problem is for the Golden Hurricane, it needs fixing. Tulsa scored at least 28 points in 11 games last year. The embarrassing 27-13 loss to the Mustangs marked the fourth straight game this year in which it didn't reach that 28-point plateau.

Colorado's rushing attack... This loss may finally be the one that ultimately gets HC Dan Hawkins canned! The Buffs have one of the most talented crops of running backs in the country based on recruiting standards, but Hawkins' offense ran the ball 24 times for -14 yards against Missouri on Saturday. It's not like the Tigers have a fantastic rush defense either. The Mizzou 'D' was allowing 127.9 yards per game on the ground going into Saturday, including allowing 218 yards to Nevada, 114 yards to Bowling Green, and 93 yards to Furman. Shame on you, Colorado. Shame on you!
