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.

You guys are morons. SC is stocked with guys who have played in at least one, if not a couple of National Championship games. They have seen it all. They have had two weeks to prepare. NU will get thier asses handed to them in front of the whole world.
I've been to several USC practices before the season and have never seen anything like the talent that they have. There are a few freshman and sophmores that most fans have never heard of before that are just unbelieveable. They have yet to be really unleashed. You will know their names soon.

haha, ouch, i'm hurt. like, crying, seriously. you are the moron for posting an anonymous comment - for only morons and cowards post anonymous comments (cause they can say anything and get away with it without having to defend their ignorant statements...). yet i digress, probably some crazed USC fan. after being neutral about it, i'll definitely be rooting for THIS upset this weekend...

hmmmmm....dont wanna start a fight....BUT...if USC is SOOOOOO great then why did they play mediocre football against Idaho, who, by they way, didnt even go to a bowl last year. when NU on the other hand ROLLED Nevada who went 8-5and ROMPED Idaho 45-7??? THEN beat Wake ON THE ROAD who went 11-3 last year! answer me that. You USC fans are awesome! but hey....where were you during the 90s when USC was in the hole??? prolly rooting for Cal or UCLA i suppose. whichever bandwagon was the heaviest, right? ANYwho....we shall see who proclaims victory tomorrow! hopefully its a good game!
GO SKERRZZ!!!

The USC-fan / anonymous coward commenter wins (enjoy it, doesn't happen often). I'm never betting money on Nebraska, ever. Until it fires Callahan. That is all.
