Troy at Florida Atlantic
Preseason had this game pegged as a potential Sun Belt decider. While it is still early in conference play, Florida Atlantic is already 0-1. Troy, on the other hand, is 1-0. Thing is there are other teams making noise in the conference.

Clemson at Wake Forest
I was sure this would be two ranked teams, but so far Clemson hasn’t fully lived up to the early hype. In the end I am sure it will still end up having some effect on the ACC Atlantic.

Louisville at Memphis
Hey, anyone else remember back in the day when these two played in Conference USA together? Yeah, I barely remember it too. I looked it up, and the last time they played, Louisville won 56-49.

Texas vs. Oklahoma
Red River Shootout. Red River Shootout. Red River Shootout. You couldn’t pay me enough to get me to call it that other name they changed it to. Oh yeah, both teams are undefeated and ranked in the top five.
South Carolina at Kentucky
I don’t have a lot to say here other than don’t expect many points. It may have a small impact on the SEC East, but I kinda doubt it.
Utah vs. Wyoming
A couple things to look for here. Will Utah stay undefeated? Can Utah shut out Wyoming at home like they did at Utah last season? Will Wyoming coach Joe Glenn flip the bird again this year?
Vanderbilt at Mississippi State
Vanderbilt is leading the SEC East. Mississippi State has only one win this season, and that was over an FCS team. If Vandy wins, that makes six wins, and that could mean a bowl.
Arizona State at USC
Another of the “looked good in the preseason and now not so much” games. Arizona State may not be up where most thought they would be, but this game will still have an impact on the Pac-10 race.
Michigan State at Northwestern
This is the biggest game this week in the Big Ten. Michigan State has Heisman hopeful Javon Ringer and a 5-1 record, while Northwestern, at 5-0, doesn’t really have that standout name.
Notre Dame at North Carolina
Both teams are having pretty good years so far. Notre Dame has already topped last year's win total, and North Carolina has tied theirs. Hope Notre Dame took some notes on punt team.
Western Michigan at Buffalo
Buffalo has been playing tough this year despite their 2-3 record. They stayed close with Central Michigan and now take on Western Michigan, who is also a good team in the MAC West. It isn’t high profile, but it should be a good game.
Arizona at Stanford

Vandy lost...so much for that. The Red River Rivalry was a Shootout, and a great one. Wisconsin didn't pull off the upset and got clobbered, which shows that PSU is amazing! Ball State remains ranked after another win. Oklahoma State shocked me, I thought they were overrated and they go on the road and beat Mizzou...poor Chubby Chase. Just my views on the aftermath of this article.
