I've always believed UCLA was a sleeping giant.
Bob Chesney woke it up.
NEW: UCLA head coach Bob Chesney on the idea of getting “poached” in the coaching carousel:
“I’ve said it before, this is the greatest place in the world to play football and it’s the greatest place in the world to coach football.”

Penn State enters as the favorite, but Purdue’s resilience makes this a dangerous matchup. A win for the Nittany Lions seems likely, though Purdue fans are bracing for another frustratingly close finish. How do you see this one playing out?

College Football - Week 8 Tricky Spots
Each week, I look for teams facing difficult circumstances beyond the matchup itself: travel, rest disadvantages, emotional letdowns, look-aheads and scheduling quirks.
3 games caught my attention this week:
Texas Tech @ Cincinnati (+11.5)
Tricky Spot: Texas Tech
Texas Tech is rolling at 6-0, but this could be a sneaky challenge.
Cincinnati has dropped 2 straight and is desperate to get back on track. The Bearcats piled up 622 yards of offense last week and still lost. Now they return home for Homecoming with something to prove.
Meanwhile, Texas Tech has a ranked Arizona team waiting next week. An early road kickoff against a desperate conference opponent could be easy to overlook.
Tennessee @ South Carolina (-2.5)
Tricky Spot: Tennessee
Tennessee is coming off a massive rivalry win over Alabama and now heads to Columbia for its 8th consecutive game without a bye.
Meanwhile, South Carolina is coming off a bye with 2 weeks to prepare at home.
Rivalry hangover potential vs. a rested conference opponent.
BYU @ UCF (+7)
Tricky Spot: BYU
BYU is coming off an enormous win over #2 Notre Dame, a game that came down to the final play with College GameDay in Provo.
Now the Cougars have to put that emotional high behind them and travel across the country to Orlando.
Waiting for them is a UCF team coming off a bye, with 2 weeks to prepare for an undefeated opponent.
UCF hasn’t been particularly impressive, but scheduling circumstances have my eye on this one.
Any other tricky spots you see this week?
