Just ask any college football coach and he'll tell you, all games are big games. OK, we'll concede that point. But some games are more intriguing than others. Here are the must-see games.
Boise State vs. Virginia Tech at FedEx Field, Sept. 6. No early season game has the potential to more profoundly affect the season. The Broncos, coming off an unbeaten season, will likely start the 2010 season right around the top five. Beating the highly ranked Hokies on what can hardly be called a neutral field could make Boise State a serious threat to reach the BCS championship game.

Oh wow look at that first up in both cases.
ML/NJ
What about OU/Texas?
Iowa vs. LSU ?
Same sh*t different year. Espn gameday will visit notre dame/USC, Ohio state/Michigan, notre dame/Michigan, notre dame/mich state etc.,
meanwhile, the real must see games will all take place in the NFL’s 9th division, aka The SEC. Someone will bring home another title unless Auburn goes undefeated, in which case the BSS will be massaged to have a 2 loss Oklahoma face a one loss ohio state coming off the 117th strength of schedule ranking.
Florida against anybody.
New Mexico at Oregon. My Lobos will pull the upset of the year and keep the MWC dominance over the Pac-10 going
And for once, there is a particular rematch going to be played in Lincoln, Nebraska about the time the weather's changing... Oh, how I'd love to be there to see it happen...
Did you guys notice last year that Tom Osborne, with Barry Switzer's help, hosted a nice party in Lincoln for everyone who had ever played or coached in the OU/Nebraska game, in celebration of eighty-someodd years of sportsmanship? They did it up nice, too, complete with little replica helmets, OU's "OU" logo on one side and Nebraska's "N" on the other.
I know that I'll be the biggest Nebraska fan in my family this year.
I predict OU will play Nebraska for the Big 12 Championship to go undefeated and play Alabama in the BCS Championship game. I have already ordered tickets for the OU/Texas game. 45 yard line seats are going for $1350 a piece.
The Citadel vs. VMI isn’t on the list?

Other than UT, we have Cincinnati at their place, Florida State and Air Force in our non-conference schedule.
It would be extremely cool to play Nebraska for the championship as their last game in the conference.
One of the best traditional rivalries in the game is being sacrificed on the altar of revenues for the big TV markets "in this part of the country".
So, that Nigerian deal came through for you?
The game the NCAA does not want to happen ever-South Carolina vs. Oregon State. Want to know why? Look up the team names!
The U at the Buckeyes looks interesting on 9/11.
Penn State at Alabama, Sept. 11.
My comment:
Dear PSU fans,
No one really cares.
Signed,
Everyone else.
Dear Everyone else -
Sorry to hear you’ll won’t be able to fill the seats at the “I don’t care” table.
The rest of us will be watching our beloved Nittany Lions!
GO PENN STATE!
Go JoePa!
Joe Pa comes to Bear’s House. Gotta love that. They played some nice games back in the 70’s and 80’s. I just hope Alabama takes it easy on Georgia State. LOL!
Ohio State-Iowa could be interesting. But Florida-Alabama will be a good one too. I assume that Alabama-LSU play each other that will be a dozy. I can;t imagine why USC-UCLA is one the list. That just isn’t what it used to be.
