Heart of the season. Somehow this whole thing is a lot more fun with the Buffs at 4-0 and ranked.
Dan Hawkins is back, more on that later.
Not much on Thursday night with Georgia State who is probably better than their 2-3 record against 4-1 Troy who may be the class of the Sun Belt.
Friday we have two teams that have played below expectations with Georgia Tech at Louisville, two teams that are 2-3 and who’s coaches may be feeling a little heat. A better game may be another battle in Utah with Utah State (3-1) in Provo to play BYU (3-2.)
Saturday it gets fun.
The SEC continues to justify their great reputation on ESPN and the others by giving us the #1 Crimson Tide in another titanic battle with an Arkansas team that managed to lose to CSU. I don’t know what the over is but Bama should probably top it themselves.
In real games involving ranked teams the SEC gives us a surprisingly good (5) LSU travelling to an also surprising (22) Florida. Unless LSU has been living a lie this should take Florida back out of the top 25.
On paper one of the most interesting games should be (8) Notre Dame against (24) Virginia Tech following the Irish pulling out a win against ranked Stanford last week. At what point does Notre Dame pull out their yearly choke job? Let’s make Hokie happy and get it this week.
Best game of the day should be the yearly battle in Dallas between Texas and Oklahoma. This is usually a passion filled and unpredictable game. This year with (7)Oklahoma having playoff hopes and (19) Texas being back in the rankings this one should be a barnburner.
Not much interesting in the PAC. Probably the most notable for CU is Utah at 2-2 playing a (14) Stanford team coming of a huge loss to Notre Dame. A Utah loss would put them at 0-3 in conference and pretty much out of the conference race.
Last week Head Coach and vocal bottom feeder Scott Frost managed to make sure that Purdue knew he saw them as a “winnable game.” They made sure it wasn’t.
This week we have no such idiotic pronouncements. Wisconsin doesn’t need any bulletin board material, they could probably run off the brown shorts (formerly blackshirts) in their sleep. They won’t be sleeping, this could be the blowout of the week. Who will Frost throw under the bus after this one.
Keep an eye out for missionaries of all different religions from Christian to Hare Krishan and various cults to be on their way to Nebraska. The whole state is getting closer to needing to find a reason to live as they lose faith in the huskers. For those who don’t turn to meth they may need religion.
With the other schools we love to see lose Pedo State has a bye week. The Baylor Bares (how they prefer co-eds, willing or not) should pick up another loss at the hands of Grandpa Snyders K-State Wildcats.
Locally CSU (1-4) gets back into action in one of the few remaining games which they can hope to win visiting (0-4) San Jose State. Wyoming(2-3) has a tough task flying out to the islands to face a surprising (5-1) Hawaii.
In a game where records mean very little AFA host Navy in one of the signature contest of their schedule. AF has struggled this year but service academy games rarely fail to be entertaining.
The Dan Hawkins tease. His Cal Davis team (3-1) comes to Greeley to play a UNC team looking for it’s first win (0-5).
In small college action last week Mines took out Mesa 72-31 leaving CSU Pueblo as the only local schools with a realistic chance to catch Mines (and Mines owns the tie breaker.)
Pueblo host New Mexico Highlands this week while Mines goes to Gunnison to play Western.
