My little college (Marshall) plays Troy State. A team not to take lightly, but should be a win.
The MAC takes on the Big East with Ball State vs BC and Toledo vs Syracuse. If they both win, this should be the rallying point for MAC people to claim BCS rights against the Big East's ownership next year.

My local team, the Bad News Bears, uhm, I mean, Duke is taking on Florida State at home tomorrow night. Funny, but it is actually a party at the game since everybody expects a train wreck to occur.


Upsets this week? Your team gonna kick ass tomorrow?

The Cuse will put Toledo back in its place (after their big win against Pitt last week).

NC State vs Carolina should be good. (For State fans :evil: )
Too bad it's PAY PER VIEW!! :|
If it was HDTV PPV I might have considered paying the $9.95 for it... but since it's not that's what AM radio is for.

No real big match-ups this weekend but there a few games that could be interesting:

Pitt vs Texas A&M
Notre Dame vs Purdue (who knows with ND... go be good or a blowout)
Wake Forest vs Virginia
Washinton State vs Oregon (probably the best match-up of the day, but I will likely miss it thanks to damned regional coverage)
Arkansas vs Alabama (I live in Fayetteville, AR, so I'm naturally for the Hogs... should be a good one)
South Carolina vs Tennessee

Those are the games I think could be fun to watch this weekend. Congrats to Marshall and the MAC for a great showing last weekend. That made for some great football.

We got the two of the nation's top skill players, leading rusher in the nation....Walter Reyes, and Johnnie Morant is busting out this year...remember those names :)

The weak D could be in for a long day though if Toledo can throw like they did against Pitt :(

Ohio State baybee! They keep getting these lucky wins against crap ranked teams. I really hope they stay undefeated and make it a perfect season, and stay top 2. I wanna see OSU in the championship game again. Wooo!

Dang, I wish the UT (Vols) PPV games were only $9.95. They are typically $39.99 here so no one gets it. You end up with 15 guys at the dude's house that own the black box.

BTW - I took Duke plus the points. You guys better hang within 30.

I hope you are having kegs with those eggs. And just so you know, I have no confidence in the Irish...

That being said, I'm looking forward to the Border War. Go Jayhawks! Muck Fizzou!

THIS JUST IN!

The past weekend was not a good weekend for football. (terrible for Marshall, Duke and Carolina, at least.)
