Another Great Weekend In Store...

As we approach the third weekend in the 2007 college football season, I took the time to look over all this weekend's games, and decide which one's will be / are the most intriguing, whether determining who'll lose this week's match-up of 0-2 Notre Dame and Michigan and send their coach to the college football coaching abyss, or who'll be on the inside track in the BCS/ national title race, as the USC @ Nebraska game will determine. Here are my choices in which games bear the most importance on this year's BCS make-up and/or could raise the most eyebrows this weekend....

Aforementioned USC @ Nebraska. Most seem to think USC will roll over Nebraska, but I think this game has the potential to be a ESPN Instant Classic. Callahan has yet to clinch a signature win while at Nebraska, and Husker Nation will be in full force for what could be the biggest game during Callahan's tenure. Nebraska's plan should fully mimic UCLA's plan in last years 13-9 upset over USC - KEEP USC'S OFFENSE OUT OF SYNC. Sam Keller (who transferred from ASU to Nebraska because he said "I get one more chance at USC if I go to Nebraska..") hasn't been ultra-spectacular in his first two games, particularly at Wake Forest. USC's defense will surely contain Nebraska's offense to some degree, so the Husker's main goal should be to keep the scoring low, blitz the heck outta Booty, and keep USC's receiving corp at bay. If they can contain the Trojan offense, and get a big play or two with their opportunistic defense and special teams, Nebraska could pull off it's biggest win in the post-Osborne era. In addition, if you keep it close, you ultimately keep the crowd in the game, and Husker Nation can be a classy but raucous bunch. My gutsy pick, Nebraska stuns USC 21 - 20. 

West Virginia @ Maryland.
