On Tap This Weekend

We can call college football games a libation, right?

Hilariously Not Available to 99% of the Residents of Columbus
(12:00 PM) Indiana at Ohio State
---Thanks, ESPNU!

Don't Confuse This for a Competitive Game
(12:00 PM) Texas at Nebraska
---Once again the Lincoln faithful are frothed up about a game this year.  Once again they'll leave the stadium with their tails between their legs.

Bad Time to be Looking Ahead
(12:00 PM) Louisville at Syracuse
---Take care of business, Cards!  Don't pre-emptively ruin what could be a great upcoming game against West Virginia.

Big Ten Offensive Machines Lock Horns
(12:00 PM) Wisconsin at Purdue
---The Badgers' offense is red hot.  Travis Beckum= OMG tight end.

Wishin' They Had a Bye Week
(12:00 PM) Illinois at Penn State
---The Illini have an actual pass rush this year.  Penn State has a handful of mortally wounded quarterbacks after last week's summary execution of their passers by Michigan.

Look Ma, Their Quarterback's a Mute!
(2:30 PM) UCLA at Notre Dame
---NBC will have plenty of time to update you on the status of speechless Bruin quarterback Patrick Cowan.  Apparently some Bruins are packin' winter gear for a game that will be in the 50's.  This isn't a January game, guys, man up.

400 Yards, Anyone?
(3:05 PM) Temple at Northern Illinois
---It'd be too little, too late for Garrett Wolfe, but it might make HP and SI's Austin Murphy accidentally prophetic.

Stay Focused
(3:30 PM) Iowa at Michigan
---Iowa has had some success against the Wolverines of late.  Michigan should win this game but they'd do themselves a favor to not overlook the Hawkeyes.

Bama Bombs, Anyone?
(3:30 PM) Alabama at Tennessee
---These schools do not like each other.  CBS smartly grabbed this one.  Time to raid the oversized Marascino and grain alcohol jar that's been sitting in my fridge for six months.

Cheerin' for the Boss, Bobby Ross
(3:30 PM) TCU at Army
---This would be a nice feather in the cap for the Army faithful after so many recent losing seasons.

Good Timing Award
(5:00 PM) Oregon at Washington State
---So the Cougars have now forced the Pac-10's three best to trek to Pullman this year: USC, California and now Oregon.

If ESPN's On it, it Must Be Good
(5:45 PM) Rutgers at Pittsburgh
---It's been a good year for the Big East, might as well hype this as most of the ACC matchups have turned into duds.

Intriguing WAC Matchup
(7:00 PM) San Jose State at Nevada
---The Spartans aren't bad... I think.  Biiiiiig fan of Dick Tomey right here.  Arizona really fumbled a good thing when they terminated him a few years ago.

Modest Upset Potential
(7:05 PM) Texas A&M at Oklahoma State
---The Aggies are coming off a big home win against previously undefeated Missouri and are feeling good about themselves.  Oklahoma State's finally found some offensive punch.

ACC Game of the Year
(7:45 PM) Georgia Tech at Clemson
---Perhaps.  Who knew?  Should be fun.  All the ACC's best offensive playmakers are here: Calvin Johnson, James Davis, C.J. Spiller.

It Was Supposed to Be a Decent Game
(9:00 PM) Fresno State at LSU
---Then Fresno State decided to lose a bunch of games.  Oh well.

PS: Best Schedule EVER

"The Aggies are coming off a big home win against previously winless Missouri"

I think you mean 'previously undefeated'

Thanks for the catch. It's corrected now.

I'm betting heavy on Texas -5.5 over Neb.
