College Football Saturday Open Game Thread

by ccmachine on Sep 19, 2008 11:49 PM CDT

The Big 12 is already 1-2 this weekend but with an impressive win with Colorado’s 17-14 overtime victory over West Virginia. Kansas State and Baylor were road losers against the Big East and only Texas A&M has a marquee match-up left when Miami travels to College Station. Iowa State is the only conference team to play on the road today. They travel to Las Vegas to take on UNLV tonight.

Big 12 Schedule (Times Central)

Buffalo at Missouri – 1:00

Miami (FL) at Texas A&M – 2:30

UMass at Texas Tech – 6:00

Sam Houston at Kansas – 6:00

Rice at Texas – 6:00

Iowa State at UNLV – 8:00

Nationally, the game I’m most interested in is the Florida/Tennessee game. The Gators should win but it shouldn’t be easy in Knoxville. Then we have Top 25 match-ups with #18 Wake Forest at #24 Florida State and #6 LSU at #10 Auburn. You would think that the LSU/Auburn game would be the national game of the week (and it will be promoted that way) but seriously, how excited can we get over watching at team that won 3-2 over Mississippi State last week?

National Games of Interest (Times Central)

Alabama at Arkansas – 11:30 am

Florida at Tennessee – 2:30 pm

Wake Forest at Florida State – 6:00 pm

LSU at Auburn – 6:45 pm

Georgia at Arizona State – 7:00 pm

I'll be at the Vols/Gators game...

… gator meat is on sale in Knoxville. UT didn’t look bad thrashing UAB last week. Hard to tell how good Florida really is. Look forward to see Tebow play live. UT has some players; QB play is a bit shaky, but this game may be close.

Glad Colorado beat WV.

seeing Tebow live should be fun......

Though I don’t have much confidence in Tennessee beating them, since I don’t think that much of the Tennessee QB situation. But that’s a hard place to play for any team, so it could be an interesting game.

GA/Az State should be interesting, though I think GA should beat them. I think outside of USC and Oregon, the Pac10 doesn’t offer much competition.

And LSU/Auburn will very likely be the equivilent of a street fight, and though the 3-2 game of Auburn’s last week doesn’t offer me much hope of a track meet, I’ll still be watching.
