I’m still swamped these days, but I promise that I’ll have some new views on the latest conference realignment-related stories soon. In the meantime, for an old post that seems to be relevant again, here are my in-depth thoughts from back in February on why the Big East ought to go after TCU. Here are this week’s parlay picks for both college football and the NFL with my obligatory Illini and Bears choices (home teams in CAPS and odds from bodog via Yahoo!):
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
- ILLINOIS (+17) over Ohio State
- NORTH CAROLINA STATE (+4) over Virginia Tech
- BOSTON COLLEGE (+3) over Notre Dame
Frank the Tank’s College Football Parlay Record
Last Week: 1-2
Illini Games for the Season: 1-1
Overall Season: 4-7-1
NFL FOOTBALL
- TITANS (-6.5) over Broncos
- Redskins (+6) over EAGLES
- Bears (+4) over GIANTS
Frank the Tank’s NFL Football Parlay Record

Once again, feel free to use this post as an open thread for the weekend’s games and non-expansion college sports news. If you want to talk about conference realignment in general, please continue the discussion on the Big Ten Division-palooza post. Have a great weekend!
