[USC Trojans]

All of a sudden, Cal doesn't look like a cakewalk.
How is it that Justin Wilcox is successful everywhere except at USC?

Lots of interesting games in the PAC-12
SC vs. Cal
Washington vs. Colorado
UCLA vs. Stanford

why in time square there's no footb all there

 

[ecemleafs]

Stupid. Only random tourists will be at gameday

 

[GKJ]

I feel like TCU/Oklahoma State should be the night game instead of Penn State/Iowa. Execs must be sniffing out an upset, Iowa is usually the one who ruins Penn State's national title hopes

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I think UGA/Mississippi State should be.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

I have a feeling Purdue will upset Michigan or at least almost

I think so too.

Wouldn't shock me, sadly. Speight is a below average QB, and Tim Drevno, our OC, his play calling has been atrocious ever since he took the job.

If a conference can add a school permanently to win the NYC market's attention then a network can and will sacrifice one Saturday morning to do so.

Those pink visitor's locker rooms will get ya. Just ask Michigan.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Utah only favored by 3?

Because you have a **** QB. Harbaugh's offense won't work with Speight.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

two of the following will be upset:

USC
Alabama
Michigan
Oklahoma St
Washington

What are you talking about. There's no reason to hold gameday in New York City.

Not this year, my friend.

I wouldn't be shocked if Iowa maybe gives a fight, definitely at least a better fight than last year, but it won't be enough. Too much talent.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

"There's no reason"..oh really. I bet that when this was discussed in a meeting at ESPN there were plenty of reasons given for why you'd host it there.

Intriguing idea and it should make for a different feel than being on a college campus, but college football for most New Yorkers means watching your alma mater on TV or at a bar with fellow fans (read some of this written by me, a lifelong New Yorker).


It’s not quite like it is elsewhere around the country, which is why the reaction on Twitter was mostly wondering … why?

Virginia Tech football: The opening Clemson spread is out, and you might be surprised. http://google.com/newsstand/s/CBIwrYT1iTY

 

[Tony Romo]

Thank god for a bye week. But probably without the best LT in the country for the rest of the season. SWEET.

Ohio State football is worth 1.5 Billion dollars

And yet watching a game at The Shoe still sucks lol.

Yes indeed, we've all known this since last season, the problem is Harbaugh is infatuated with Speight for some reason and it's hurting the team.

Thankfully this is his last year, and Peters & Mcaffery are waiting in the wings.

Pretty sure he can play one more but by next year peters or someone has to be better to the point where Jim can't play him

 

[HisIceness]

That Texas Tech/Houston game could be fun.

I'm liking this season that more of the P5 schools are playing schools like Memphis, Colorado State, San Diego State, Houston, etc. on the road. Makes the match ups a lot more interesting.

 

[Tony Romo]

Think Tech loses tbh
