Oregon State at Penn State: I've got the Beavers pegged as a sleeper this season in the PAC-10 coming off a quiet 9-4 2007 season.  Penn State will do well to survive this game even with it being in Happy Valley. The Anthony Morelli Era is over Nittanies. Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for the talented Daryll Clark. Who? Exactly.

Miami at Florida: This isn't even a big game any more. That's sad. I miss the days when Florida football teams got more coverage than a Red Sox-Yankees series on ESPN (I’m lying). Even though Florida football fans are about as rabid as women’s high school rugby fans, this game is still important. Tebow becomes Heisman front runner before the game when he leads the Swamp in prayer and then plays a game of football.

The Main Course:

Cincinnati at Oklahoma: UC got an unfortunate blow when Ben Mauk (who I'm told has high school, jock quarterback, "I'm the coolest guy ever and a jack off" syndrome from people in his hometown of Kenton) didn't get a sixth year of eligibility. Hey buddy, it's ok. You graduated the same year as I did from high school, it's time to be a big boy and get a real job. 

Remember about seven months ago when Oklahoma last played a Big East team? West Virginia's annihilating offense only mustered a five point victory against the Bearcats last season.  This is a highly underrated, nonconference game.

September 11-13 Weekend—

The only reason I’d watch this game is if my other option is Oprah: Alcorn State (2-8 in D-IAA last year) at Troy (who are tuning up for the Bucks the next week).

Scheduled game that makes Bret Bielema wish he’d of thought of that: Chattanooga at Florida State. Chattanooga will get softened up two weeks earlier against Oklahoma. Oh, and the Mocs were 2-9 last year.

The Appetizers:

Kansas at South Florida: If the winner of this game would play the winner of the Illinois/Mizzou game, it would be for the championship of overachievers from last year. Both teams came out of nowhere last season to contend for their league titles and hold spots in the top five.
