College Football: Week 3

Week 3 of the college football season has one monster match-up the 4-letter word is dubbing the “Collision At The Coliseum”. That’s marketing right there. There are some other compelling match-ups that don’t have a catchy slogan attached but hey, the worldwide leader could care less. Come to think of it, they are airing some of those games. So we will come up with our own slogan.

Best Game Of The Week – Ohio State at Southern California (See Above)

It’s #1 vs #5 or according to our dirty dozen, 1A vs 2. I get an uneasy feeling about this one. This game just seems ripe USC to deliver a Buckeye butt kicking however, Ohio State might get up for this one.

2nd Best Game Of The Week – Wisconsin at Fresno State (Cheese vs Raisins)

Pat Hill will bring his Fresno State Bulldogs anywhere to play against the big boys. For once a BCS team is heading to his neck of the woods. Wisconsin is the first Big 10 team to play at Bulldog stadium. The fans in Fresno are geeked for this one, it’s a sellout at Bulldog stadium so the Badgers will be greeted by a wall of noise. Should be a good game.

3rd Best Game Of The Week – Georgia Tech at Virginia Tech (The Battle of the Techs)

This will be an early indicator as to how good Georgia Tech really is and how much Virginia Tech has fallen. This is an opportunity for the Hokies to get some of its mojo back and for the Yellow Jackets, a win would yes put them in the drivers seat for the Coastal Division title.

Flying Under The Radar

Southern Miss at Arkansas State – I’ve jumped on the Red Wolves bandwagon, 2-0 and probably the best team in the state of Arkansas. If ASU can pull off a win over Southern Miss in Jonesboro, they will tear down the goal posts. It’s a statement game, although a small one, for Arkansas State. This should be a good game.

Off The Radar

Does anyone care that Michigan and Notre Dame play Saturday? No, that’s what I thought.

What If….

NC State upsets Clemson? Just thinking out loud.

How Many…

Points will Texas Tech rack up against SMU or LSU will pour on North Texas.

Rivarly Games:

Iowa State at Iowa – The annual battle for the Cy-Hawk Trophy

Arizona at New Mexico – The winner of this old rivalry gains possession of the Kit Carson Rifle.

Arkansas at Texas – Frank Broyles and Darryl Royal will get together and talk about the old days of this Southwest Conference rivalry.
