It's a big weekend for college football fans. Six ranked teams play each other, from morning to late night; certainly not for the faint of heart, nor those that can't handle their alcohol:
#12 Baylor at #15 Oklahoma - 11:00 AM Central
Last time Baylor won at Norman? Never!
#10 Notre Dame at #9 Arizona State - 2:30 PM Central
Anyone rooting for Notre Dame here? Anyone willing to raise their hand?
#7 Kansas State at #6 TCU - 6:30 PM Central
TCU's story has been fascinating this season. Both teams come into this game with one loss apiece.
#14 Ohio State at #8 Michigan State - 7:00 PM Central
I really can't root for Ohio State here and Sparty has the better team anyway.
#5 Alabama at #16 LSU - 7:00 PM Central
Would be a great time for Alabama to pick up a second loss.
#4 Oregon at #17 Utah - 9:00 PM Central
Same thing for Oregon.
Here's what I want. I want everyone to have two losses. Everyone. I want a committee full of old people to explain how they picked four team with two losses over every other two-loss team. I want chaos. I want carnage. I want people in the street demanding a committee member for sacrifice.
This is a great weekend for a Nebraska bye. Ameer Abdullah gets to heal up, and Husker fans get to watch other teams' dreams go down the drain. Ah, the sweet tears of your loss.
