College Football TV Schedule Week 12: What Games Have Big BCS Implications?

Welcome one and all to another wonderful week of College Football television watching. As always I will be your guide as to which games are going to be on television this week. 

Last week we saw both Boise State and Stanford fall flat on their faces. They came into the week with their reasons as to why they should be playing for the BCS National Championship. However, all of those arguments are not mute, as their failures have put them at the bottom of the Top 10 in the BCS Standings. 

Now as we move forward to the middle of November we have five teams that have ligament chances at playing for the BCS Championship. All of these teams are in action this week, with most of them playing in conference games. 

While one team has a game against a team that is just there to collect a paycheck (Georgia Southern.) 

But, for Oregon, a team that has clawed, no quacked their way back into the title picture, they have a very tough game against the USC Trojans this week. Oregon may still be riding that emotional wave after their big victory against Stanford. That wave may have the Ducks over looking USC this week. If that's so it will cause for the makings of an upset at home for Oregon. 

USC at Oregon is just one of the many games that you need to watch this week. We have a full slate of games, as the Mid American Conference gets you ready for this week. 

Seriously they own Tuesday and Wednesday night on the ESPN channels.

Take a look at when and where your team may be playing and what channel you can find them on. Always check your local listings and remember all times are eastern, so if you live in a different time zone, do the math accordingly.

Will there be any upsets this week, and like the band Queen said, "Another one bites the dust."
