Thursday: Sept 3

Friday: Sept 4
Washington @ Boise State ESPN

Saturday: Sept 5
Louisville vs Auburn ESPN
Arizona State vs Texas A&M ESPN
Texas @ Notre Dame NBC

Gotta say.. not impressed. Last year with A&M/South Carolina and Ole Miss/Boise St there was something interesting on Thursday. Theres 3 solid Saturday games but I'll be in Baton Rouge all day so thats that. Michigan @ Utah could be solid. Oh well..its football.

There may not be a big national game but I am very interested in ASU vs A&M. ASU is my prediction for PAC - 12 south winner. They have 9 returning on defense and they play sound football. It will be a litmus test for them.


ASU also has a very good set of skill players in Richards and Foster and a qb that is proven. It's going to come down to an OL that isn't void of returning starts but also isn't experienced.

Yeah, its the primetime game of the night for ESPN. But that game will be worse than TCU/Ole Miss

My only issue with this game is that ASU blitzes almost more than any other team in the country. IF the qb has any type of poise, it could be a long game.

It could get interesting. That was my point - that there is a schematic element that concerns me.

Virginia Tech is stout on the defensive line and backfield.

That should be a decent game, and is gonna draw a huge TV rating.

I'm so excited. I'm so excited.

Y'all are going to murder them. I bet Meyer is still ticked off because of the game last year. VT should have a good defense though. I'm excited to see y'all play this year.

It will be interesting.

Bud Foster is a fricking wildcard though.
