That's right, North Carolina State travels to Death Valley in what is somehow a top 10 matchup in a rivalry they call 'the Textile Bowl.' I don't think I've ever heard of that until I looked it up. Clemson once again will try to impress someone other than themselves with GameDay in town.

Two ranked teams will play before we even get to Saturday - BYU hosts Utah State tonight and Washington finds themselves at the Rose Bowl against UCLE on Friday.

On Saturday, #4 Michigan is in a tough spot as they head to Iowa. Not that Iowa is any good, but they've won 4 of their last 5 hosting top 5 teams. That puts Michigan on upset alert after they had issues shaking Maryland last week. Big Noon is in town.

Other ranked matchups:

Kentucky @ Ole Miss at noon.
Alabama @ Arkansas on CBS
Oklahoma State @ Baylor in the late afternoon window
Wake Forest @ Florida State ????

Also, a matchup of two teams coming off upsets, Texas Tech travels to Kansas State

Pac 12 After Dark has Stanford @ Oregon and Arizona State @ USC.

Finally, the Beavs after a tough home loss get another ranked opponent when they go to Utah (afternoon).

UW looks like that team that bought into their own hype and slacked off just in time for a hungrier team to embarrass them.

@GKJ If you want to win enough $$$ to be able to pay all of the future legal fees for the Dolphins & the NFL, then go with The Bear( who again was 2-1 & is 8-4 on the season) on these gems:

Utah minus 10 over Oregon State
Iowa State minus 3 over Kansas
Purdue plus 9 & 1/2 over Minny

No Corso Headgear report today.......thoughts & prayers to Lee for a speedy recovery.

It is with a heavy heart that I must pick Utah to cover over the Beavs

They need a new Corso because he's not long for this world much more.

TCU up 27-10 end of 1
But people keep telling me that only the "good teams" win in College football :laugh:

this season has some wacky parity especially with OU beating cupcakes and looking human against KSU / TCU
