West Virginia at Colorado: This Thursday night special at Folsom Field will show us if nepotism has paid off for the Buffs. It may even show if blind stupidity came with re-signing Bill Stewart for West Virginia. But either way it shows us that the time has come to watch football Thursday-Monday nights. In other words, it’s fall...on September 22.
LSU at Auburn: If the Tigers don’t get tripped up by Appalachian State or Troy or North Texas before this game, it will be their first test of the season and the first in three out of four on the road to open the SEC.
Auburn on the other hand traveled near and far in their first three games to play UL-Monroe and Southern Miss at home while facing Mississippi State in Starkville. Battle tested the both of ‘em.
Winner of this game becomes front runner for SEC West crown. ‘Bama may also be involved this season.
Georgia at Arizona State: I’ve made a big deal out of this game, and in case you didn’t hear the stat, it’s the first time since 1967 that Georgia has played a regular season game outside of the SEC states. Ridiculous.
Now, while most people have this game pegged as a non-conference game of the year outside the OSU/USC battle, I see it as USC at Nebraska ’07, part two. Way over-hyped game, dominating performance by the team that was supposed to win.
So much so that after the game Georgia will go ahead and accept the bid to the BCS Championship game because they obviously are the best team in college football…again.
The Main Course:
Florida at Tennessee: Once upon a time, this was the best game in September year in and year out. Maybe not the best played game as they usually ended in blow outs, but definitely the most hyped and important.
Why is this my game of the week this week then if it’s no longer that important? Because it’s a blatantly obvious game that Florida will obviously win. In the grand scheme of things, upsets are only true upsets if no one thought they could happen.
