Last week looked like a dull slate and turned into one of the best weekends of college football of the season. This week looks a lot more interesting from the start, hope it doesn’t turn out to be a dud.

This is also bowl eligibility weekend with a lot of 5 win teams hoping to get that 6th win that means they don’t spend the holiday season at home.

Thursday starts with what should be a good one.
(25) Memphis visits 4-2 Houston. Two teams that may not be major powers but who have a lot of talent. Should be a fun game with a lot of big plays.

Friday we get the locals.

Air Force who came back from a huge deficit last week gets another chance to get their season back on track against a terrible Nevada squad.

CSU is one of those teams looking for win #6 on the road at a New Mexico team that has struggled at times this year.

Saturday gives us two match-ups of top 25 teams.

(19) Michigan tries for the upset against (2) Penn State.

(11) USC has a chance to get a big win for PAC prestige at South Bend with (13) Notre Dame.

In an almost top 25 match-up Navy at 5-1 looks to move into the rankings by beating (20) 5-0 UCF.

Other interesting games (10) Oklahoma State has a chance to knock 3-3 Texas down again. Horns fans are not happy. Even less happy are Tennessee fans and it won’t get better this week. Speculation on their boards is that Butch (we call him Food Cart) Jones will be fired following this week’s destruction at the hands of (1) Alabama. He will still always have his Life Championship.

Another potential blasting has high scoring (23) West Virginia at 0-6 Baylor who thinks scoring is ignoring a girls “no’s.”

Nebraska fans don’t have to deal with another ugly loss this week, only because they don’t play.

In the PAC we get 4-3 Oregon at 3-3 UCLA, 3-3 Arizona State at 4-2 Utah, and upcoming Buff opponent 3-3 Cal host 4-2 Arizona.

In FCS Northern Colorado 2-3 hosts Montana State 2-4.

RMAC small schools getting interesting with Fort Lewis upsetting Pueblo last week Mesa and Pueblo are now tied for the conference lead with one conference loss each.

This week Mesa goes to Adams State and Pueblo hosts Black Hills State. Mines hosts Dixie State.
 
Maybe usc turns it in in a rivalry game but seems like Notre Dame is going to put it on them in south bend.

I think Notre Dame is overrated (their norm) and USC is more talented but it also seems like USC is doing their common let's fall apart for a few weeks routine. Sadly you may be spot on.

Notre Dame has played pretty damn well this year actually.
 
Mtn ... possibly your best this season so far. The consecutive snarky comments re ****bailer and kNU were outstanding. Keep the snark coming! (y)
 
ND is rated about where they should be given their schedule so far. The win over Michigan State was by far their best win but the rest of their wins have been over bad teams. The Georgia game went down to the wire but they lost. Having said that I think they'll beat USC but I say that as more of an indictment of USC who has looked shaky in every game except the Stanford game.
 
This game is ridiculous, teams can't stop each other. Only defense all half was a strip sack by Memphis.

Might be last team with the ball wins.
 
I just looked at the TV schedule for Saturday. Kansas at TCU is the prime time Fox game. Not FS1, broadcast Fox. What the mother flippin' hell? How does ANY Kansas game get a prime time network TV slot? TCU is favored by 38.5. Not even TCU fans will be watching for long with USC vs ND on NBC and Pedo St. vs Michigan on ABC.

Weird.

It's not like TCU has some large national following, either.

Their ratings are going to tank for that game.

That's bad news for the Big 12 media future if that's the best option FOX had from the conference. I mean, their best game this week is probably ISU v TTU and there's no audience for that.

might be. that ND-UGA game is still one of the more mysterious games this season. are they both actually pretty good.....or the usual overrated/fellatio media darling?

anything could happen in USC-ND i wouldn't be surprised.

and just schadenfreude a bit.....Texas and Tennessee fans can't suffer enough.....let the bottom fall out.
 
Man, Air Force just executed a beautiful, textbook AFA ball control drive for a TD, and Nevada answered in 3 plays in about a minute.

FWIW, Kansas has played TCU remarkably close (and really only TCU outside of the Texas win). The last three games have been one score games, really weird.
 
New Mexico up on the sheep 7-0 early. A loss to the Lobos would put a dent in their season.

Also kind of strange that the MWC would have two games with teams from the same state playing on a Friday night. You would think that would split part of the audience. They are in such bad shape with media money though that they are willing to take whatever TV tells them to do.
