Another week that includes many out of conference games, some of them should even be competitive.
Thursday gives us a likely blowout with the Ohio Bobcat kittens (0-2) visiting Louisiana (1-1) which had been ranked prior to losing to Texas this weekend.
Friday has Maryland and their clown costumes (2-0) visiting Illinois (1-2) who has been bad but still managed to beat Nebraska to open their season.
Saturday gives us some big games in the top 25 and some solid regional matches.
Florida (11) has the biggest challenge with Alabama (1) playing in Gator country.
In a rare trip out of SEC country Auburn (22) goes to Sandusky country visiting Pedo State (10.)
So far this season BYU (23) has beaten two PAC12 teams including a then ranked Utah squad last week. This week they host Arizona State (19.)
In what could be a very interesting game West Virginia (1-1) hosts a surprisingly good Virginia Tech (15.)
Midnight Mel and Michigan State are 2-0 but how good are they? This weekend may give an idea as they head to Miami (24)
A couple teams might want to duck. Tulsa is 0-2 but has played their opponents close so far, this week they are at Ohio State (9) coming off a loss. In similar fashion UNLV which hasn’t been good including losing to an FCS team. They get Iowa State (14) coming off a rivalry loss.
When you are the Miami Redhawks (0-2)and have started the season getting beat up how do you make things better? You play in the garbage game of the week against FCS CW Post (0-2) which has only been edged out this year by a combined score of 114-10. This game manages to edge out South Carolina State (0-2) visiting New Mexico State (0-3,) the loser of which I’m sure will have further opportunities for this honor this season.
Back in the days of dinosaurs and Tom Osborne when many of the fat fans in red polyester were younger some of the Oklahoma-Nebraska games were touted as the game of the century. This week the game might again be a game of the century as the Sooners (3) could probably put up 100 points on the pathetic Huskers (2-1.) It shouldn’t take Frosty and his cupcakes long to figure out that they aren’t playing Fordham or Buffalo.
One last week of mostly warm ups in the PAC this week.
USC (1-1) goes to Washington State (1-1) coming off a loss to Stanford and minus their coach, Utah (1-1) visits San Diego State (2-0) Oregon challenges themselves with the mighty Seawolves of Stonybrook (1-1).
Closer to home Air Force (2-0) following a huge win over service academy rival Navy host Utah State (2-0.)
Wyoming also (2-0) host Ball State (1-1.) New Mexico is also undefeated (2-0) but not for long. They travel to Texas A&M (7) who will be looking for a big number after barely escaping the Buffs last week.
And then we get the poor lost Sheep. At least this week they won’t have to face the few fans they have left going on the road. CSU (0-2) visits Toledo (1-1) who gave a battle to Notre Dame before losing last week.
After talking about bowl games in the off season some CSU fans are now wondering if they will win a game this year. Fortunately for them not many people bother to notice anymore. Their message board wants to fire the Dude after 6 games, and they may be right.
Local smaller schools include Northern Colorado (1-1) who picked up a convincing win last week hosting Lamar (1-1.)
The D2 schools get deeper into their conference schedules.
CSU-Pueblo comes off two losses out of conference to traditional powers and hosts a solid Black Hills State.
Mesa opens RMAC play at New Mexico Highlands.
Mines should get an easy road victory against Fort Lewis which has already lost their two games by a combined 84 points.
