Now that you've had time to look over the schedule, let's check out what we're watching for this week.
This weeks lineup has several ranked teams going on the road in non-conference games. 10 Oklahoma State will travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers in a "measuring stick" game to see how they fair against a team who just got roughed up by Penn State. 24 UCLA will travel across the country to face a feisty Memphis team, while 16 Virginia Tech will exorcise its own demons when they square off at East Carolina. We also have 9 Wisconsin facing the fighting Mormons of BYU, and 17 Stanford making a short trip to San Diego. These matchups aren't the only ranked road games, but they are the ones who should take care of business. Other teams in action should be on...
Yes! We are officially putting the following teams on watch as they might be putting a crooked number in their loss column by the end of the night. 11 LSU opens SEC play at Mississippi State. Starkville isn't a place you want to find yourself after dark on a Saturday. The Tigers will get their first real test of the season when they meet Nick Fitzgerald and the Bulldogs.
20 Kansas State makes a trip to Nashville to play the Commodores of Vanderbilt. Normally, no one would worry about Vanderbilt, but keep an eye on this one. Derek Mason's team is primed to surprise a few people this season, and beating the Wildcats would be a good start.
Finally, we have a rematch of a national championship that didn't happen. Texas travels to 6 USC in the night cap that was promising to start the season. After losing the opener to Maryland, one would think that the Longhorns have no shot in the Coliseum. Well, think again! Calling it now, Tom Herman and his Texas team will give USC all they want, and might even come back to Austin with the W.
- 3 Clemson Opens Up ACC Play at 14 Louisville
The obvious game of the week will feature the defending national champions on the road against the defending Heisman Trophy winner. Clemson will open conference play in Louisville where they hope to give Lamar Jackson another beating. The Cardinals are hosting College GameDay again after putting on a show against heavily-favored Florida State a year ago. Lamar Jackson is going to do his thing. The question is: will his team put up enough effort for a statement win against the Tigers?
Those are our Three Big Things this week. What are you looking forward to? Did we miss something? Let us know in the comments.
