Helping you get your weekend viewing priorities straight since 2007

Nice and abbreviated this week (and somehow the font and size got all jacked up and I don't have the time to deal with it)

Thursday

8:30 (ESPN) South Carolina @ Vanderbilt. Another Thursday night with Steve Spurrier.

Friday

7:00 (ESPN) Navy @ Ball State. Somehow I have the feeling that Navy is going to run the ball, a lot.

Saturday

12:00 (ESPN2) Miami (OH) @ Michigan. The Wolverines need this win to avoid starting 0-2 for the second consecutive season.

12:00 (ESPN) Ohio @ Ohio State. No Beanie should be no problem against the Bobcats.

3:00 (FSN) BYU @ Washington. Washington got stomped last week by the Ducks and things are not going to get much easier against a BYU team that is looking for a chance to play in a BCS bowl.

3:30 (ABC) Cincinnati @ Oklahoma. I have heard some experts say that this game has upset potential. I think Brian Kelly is a fine coach at Cinci, but I just can’t see them going into Norman and knocking off the Sooners.

3:30 (ABC) Oregon State @ Penn State. The Oregon State Beavers travel to Beaver Stadium to take on Penn State. I think it is just too coincidental for the Beavers not to pull a mild upset in Beaver Stadium. Then again OSU lost to Stanford last week and that is never good for any team.

3:30 (NBC) San Diego State @ Notre Dame. Talk about a great team to open up against for ND. SDSU lost to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo while giving up 263 yards on the ground and gaining only 27 for themselves. As much as it pains me to admit ND should have a much better year, as a result of a year of experience and a much more generous schedule.

4:30 (ESPN) WVU @ East Carolina. Can ECU knock off a second ranked team in a row? The Big East has been hurting early this season and a loss here would do nothing to help their credibility. A win for ECU makes them yet another non-BCS conference team dreaming of a big January 1^st pay day.

8:00 (ESPN) Miami (FL) @ Florida. Florida has not beaten Miami since sometime in the mid 80’s. If there was every a year to end that streak this should be it.
