Big game in the Pac 12 on Friday night this week, a top 20 matchup in fact as the Beavs take center stage hosting #10 Utah. Oregon State is #19 after losing to Wazzu last week, but they are the 3-point favorite as questions continue to linger around Utah’s quarterback situation awaiting the return of Cameron Rising. 9pm ET on FS1.
The power of Coach Prime still endures as the Pac 12 turns Big Noon into Big Morning as the gang returns to Boulder this week, along with Gus and Joel as Colorado will look to cover the 21.5 points against #8 USC and defending Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams. The folks out west will have to get up early but we will all finally get them seen this week as all of USC’s games have either been on After Dark or Pac 12 Network. Nobody has been talking much shit this week after Colorado got boatraced in Oregon 42-6, but that didn’t stop 12 million people from watching it.
An interesting game on ESPN at noon has a 1-loss #22 Florida in Lexington against an unranked but undefeated Kentucky team, who are a slim favorite. I guess it’s hard to impress playing MAC teams and Directional Kentucky.
Late-afternoon slate sees a big rivalry game on CBS, #1 Georgia is a two touchdown favorite at Auburn, who comes off a loss to Texas A&M.
#2 Michigan will try their hands against the Blackshirts of Nebraska on Fox. Nebraska has 2 wins since we last saw them get waxed by Colorado.
#24 Kansas is back in the top 25 for the first time this year. Their reward is a trip to Austin as Heisman contender Quinn Ewers and #3 Texas await their arrival on ABC.
We have another top 20 matchup in the SEC, at 6pm on ESPN, #12 LSU escaped a game Arkansas team last week, and hit Oxford and #20 Ole Miss as they get another shot at a big brother after losing to Alabama last week.
For the first time ever, Game Day is in Durham, NC on the campus of Duke University in our third top 20 matchup in prime time. #17 Duke is one of the stories of the season as they are undefeated but still a 6-point underdog to #11 Notre Dame, who of course blundered away a low scoring game to Ohio State at the last moment, which included the Irish only having 10 men on the field and bizarre explanations as to why that was, and evidently a new signal system so they never have to try to explain it again either.
#13 Alabama is feeling the pain of having a boring team to watch as they got stuck with the 8pm local start (9pm eastern) in Starkville against Mississippi State, which will take up ESPN’s After Dark slot.
#7 Washington is also After Dark, but their game at Arizona is on Pac 12 network, while FS1 has an After Dark game with #25 Fresno State hosting winless Nevada, so nobody will be watching these games.

Yes, he's a barrell of laughs & he is a Duke grad but come on, seriously. He's already done this gig & who knows if when Durham will ever host again. Shame on you ESPN.
