College Football TV Schedule Week 11: What Games Have Big BCS Implications?

Welcome back, all you college football junkies, to another wonderful week of television watching. But I have to start off by asking, if everyone is okay?

Did everyone survive the game of the century last week? I mean, it was pretty intense with the lead changes, the loud crowd, the coaching chess match. And now there is a clear favorite to win the conference. 

What, do you think I'm talking about LSU Alabama? 

Of course not, I'm talking about Pitt vs. Cincinnati from Heinz Field!

With the loss, the Panthers fall to 4-5, 2-2 with four games remaining. They still have an outside shot to climb over teams like West Virginia, Rutgers, Louisville and Cincinnati to make a BCS bowl game with an 8-5 record. 

Because if there's one thing that you should know about the Big East conference, it's that no lead is safe. Pitt had a two-game lead with three games left last year and lost them all, thus finishing in a three-way tie for the conference championship. 

They still have a great shot at winning the conference and playing in the Orange Bowl against either Clemson, Virginia Tech or Georgia Tech. 

Wouldn't that just be a big kick in the groin to one- or two-loss teams that are stuck on the outside looking in, like Arkansas, Georgia, Oregon or an undefeated Houston? 

Well, now that I have you nice and fired up in pure anger, we can move into this week's college football television guide. 

Remember that all times are Eastern Daylights Savings, check your local listings and always try to enjoy all college football games responsibly if you're going to enjoy some adult beverages and consume as much greasy food as possible. 

We only have a few weeks left. I don't want you all dying on me. 

Enjoy the second week of November. The Oregon Duck is about to get his push-up on!
