List the 10 most important ooc games for each conference. I will start with the PAC-10

1. USC @ Ohio St No descrition necessary

2. Oregon @ Boise St Getting a raod win over a 10+ win team would be huge

3. Cincinatti @ Oregon St. Oregon St is usually on the road for their bigger ooc opponents. Very important that they handle thier business at home vs a bcs conference champion contender

4. Arizona vs CMU. Important for a mid-level PAC-10 team to beat the front runner for the MAC champion at home. A loss would be a black eye

5. Ucla @ Tennessee. This game matches 2 teams that should be of equal standing in their respective conferences. THe PAC-10 usually wins these types of matchups, but it could be tough going all the way across the country.

6. Stanford @ Wake Forest. For Stanford to turn the coner they need this road win. Important for the PAC-10 to have a mid-level team beat a mid-level ACC team.

7. Kansas St. @ ucla. This is a must win game for the PAC-10. Kansas St will likely be a lower tier Big-12 team so ucla losing a home game to them would hurt the conference.

8. Utah @ Oregon. Another must win. After last years debacle vs MWC teams Oregon really needs to put on Utah in a bad way.

9. CAL @ Minnessota. At first look this should be an easy win for CAL. Not so fast. The game is in Minnessota who should be better than they were last year and most importantly the game is a 9:00 am PST start time. We all saw how poorly CAL played at this same start time last season vs Maryland. They need to prepare themselves all week for the early start time. A couple of practices that week before school instead of after would help.

10. Arizona @ Iowa. This is more of a can't lose game. Iowa shoudl be a top 4 Big-10 team while Arizona is more of a middle road PAC-10 team and the game is @ Iowa. A win would be a larger feather in the cap.

Ucla @ Tennessee

no one from the SEC gives a frick about this game, Tennesse is in the bottom half of the conference.

The SEC cares more about the Va Tech Bama game

Ou is going to smash Miami. That is a game that does not really hurt the ACC if you lose, but can really help if you win. Like UW vs LSU. A win would be huge, but it is not likely.

True, but the Ucla vs Tennessee game will have large computer ramifications when it comes to USC and Florida.

If Miami wins that game and OU goes on to win the Big12 it will be HUGE for the ACC. Even if OU only goes 9-3 it would be a bigger win than VPI over Cincy last year

It would be huge. Washington beating LSU would be huge, Florida St beating Florida would be huge. All are possible, none are likely.

Big-10

1. Ohio St. vs USC. Self explanatory

2. Michigan St. @ Notre Dame. Michigan St has owned the irish recently and a raod win over a 9 or 10 win team would be huge

3. Minnessota vs CAL. The Gophers get a top tier PAC-10 team at home in their new stadium and at a very early time for the West Coast team. Everything is lined up for an upset, can they pull it off.

4. Illinois vs Missouri. A high profile game on the opening Saturday of the season. Must win for Illinois and the Big-10

5. Iowa Vs Arizona: A home loss to Arizona would just increase the amount of criticism the Big-10 gets for being slow. Zona will be coming in with a young QB after losing a 4 year starter.

6. Wisconsin vs Freson St. Another must win for the Big-10. Fresno St typically plays their asses off when facing a bcs conference opponent. They will give Wisconsin all they can handle.

7. Michigan vs Notre Dame. For The Big-10 to be back in the nation's eyes Michigan must become relevant on the nation stage again. A win over ND would signal the CFB world that they are back

8. Minnessota @ Syracuse. Must win game. Syracuse is horrible but it is a road game vs a bcs conference opponent.

9. Northwestern @ Syracuse. See above

10. Iowa @ Iowa St. Iowa St is the worst team in the Big-12, but the game vs Iowa means more than anything to them. Iowa better not lose.


Overall a pretty weak ooc slate for the Big-10.
