After having none last week, we’re finally going to get some ranked matchups, since the Pac 12 are going to start playing each other. There definitely are some delicious matchups.
You can check the board, but we have 5 games between Thursday and Friday, currently game has a spread larger than 9.5 points.
The early window on Saturday begins with a Big Ten matchups of undefeateds. That’s where the similarities end since it is Rutgers @ #2 Michigan (-24.5), and it’s only on Big Ten Network.
ABC has #4 Florida State on upset alert. After escaping Boston College with a 2-point win, they now travel to Clemson (+2.5) who all of a sudden are seeing their hold on the ACC throne fade away, but are presented a chance to get back in track.
Big Noon is actually going to give Prime a break, and instead have everyone in Cincinnati, who unfortunately lost last week, but they host #16 Oklahoma (-14.5), and that’s brought the whole crew to town, so, I guess Cincinnati will play them tough and hope people tune in.
The second window has some big ones, and none of those bigger than #19 Colorado @ #10 Oregon. The line is Oregon -21, but the big number to watch will be whatever the rating will be. ABC has the game, but not Chris and Kirk. Huge test for Coach Prime coming off an emotional win over Colorado State where they lost Travis Hunter, the difficulty level takes a big jump now that they’re into Pac 12 play.
Fox has #22 UCLA @ #11 Utah (-4.5), someone’s 0 has got to go there. Utah has been a bit low on the scoring without Cameron Rising.
CBS has #15 Ole Miss @ #13 Alabama (-6.5). Bama tried to get away from Jalen Milroe and their offense was a total mess last week in South Florida trying 2 other quarterbacks. He’s going to be back under center this week as he’s obviously their best guy.
Chris and Kirk are in Baton Rouge for a prime time SEC matchup between Arkansas and #12 LSU (-17.5), who look like they have the best offense and QB in the SEC.
Fox has another ranked game in prime time as #14 Oregon Stare (-3) heads to Pulman to battle against #21 Washington State for the actual soul of the Pac 12 as their last two remaining members sorting their shit out.
Game Day is in South Bend for a top 10 matchup that will take place at night on NBC, #6 Ohio State (-3) visits #9 Notre Dame. Questions have also loomed over Kyle McCord and Ohio State’s offense, but they put 63 on Western Kentucky in last weeks tuneup. Notre Dame has rolled in their 4 games with Sam Hartman at QB, I don’t think they should be an underdog though.
ABC has #3 Texas (-15) @ Baylor. The Longhorns were a bit sleepy last week against Wyoming and have the Red River Rivalry to look ahead to.
CBS has the last ranked matchup at night where #25 Iowa is in Happy Valley against #7 Penn State (-15). Iowa has always been known to play PSU tight and have won the last two in the series. Penn State got played tough by Illinois last week.
The two Pac 12 After Dark games will be hard pressed to combine to match last week’s ratings, but they do have two top quarterbacks, #5 USC (-35), who I don’t know if anyone’s actually seen, but look set to blow out Arizona State down in Tempe on Fox. ESPN has Cal headed to #8 Washington (-20.5). We’ll see which school puts up the most points on their opponents.
