Oregon State is the only Pac-12 team off this week, and there are several big nonconference games and a big conference one in Tucson.
And all games are on Saturday, Sept. 17
Here's a quick look (all times ET).
Colorado vs. Colorado State (Denver), 1:30 p.m., FSN: The Buffaloes took a step forward last weekend against California after a poor showing at Hawaii, but at 0-2 they are desperate for a win. The Rams are 2-0 after beating New Mexico and Northern Colorado. The Buffs have won four of the past six in the series.
Texas at UCLA, 3:30 p.m. ABC/ESPN3: Texas wants revenge for last year's embarrassing loss at home. Both teams have issues at quarterback. But Mack Brown's seat isn't nearly as hot as Rick Neuheisel's.
Washington at Nebraska, 3:30 p.m. ABC/ESPN3: The rubber match in a three-game series. The first two games couldn't have been more different: A Nebraska blowout win in Husky Stadium followed by a physically dominant performance by Washington in the Holiday Bowl.
Missouri State at Oregon, 3:30 p.m. OSN: This will be a long, long day for Missouri State.
Presbyterian at California, 5:30 p.m.: The Blue Hose just want to escape with their lives. And a paycheck.
Washington State at San Diego State, 6:30 p.m. Mountain West Network: The Cougars can get halfway to bowl eligibility with a victory on the road. Both teams are 2-0. QB Ryan Lindley and RB Ronnie Hillman will test what looks to be a vastly improved Coug defense. And can WSU QB Marshall Lobbestael keep up his torrid pace?
Arizona State at Illinois, 7 p.m. Big Ten Network: The Sun Devils will try to avoid a letdown on the road after beating Missouri at home. Illinois and QB Nathan Scheelhaase have yet to be tested after playing two patsies, but that also means the Sun Devils have no useful film for this game.
Syracuse at USC, 8 p.m. FX: The Trojans hope to improve to 3-0 against a Syracuse program that appears to be climbing in the Big East pecking order.
Utah at BYU, 9:15, ESPN2/ESPN3:*Utah won the Holy War 17-16 last year -- the Utes blocked a last-second field goal attempt -- and has won six of the last 10 in the series. This is the first matchup of the*former Mountain West Conference foes*with the Utes in the Pac-12 and BYU an Independent, which is why the game is in September instead of at the end of the regular season.
Stanford at Arizona, 10:45 p.m., ESPN/ESPN3: After two easy games, QB Andrew Luck and Stanford get a tough road test in front of the 'Zona Zoo. This is the second of three games versus top-10 foes for the Wildcats. A nice matchup of QBs with Nick Foles trying to get the Wildcats back on track.
