If you want to start your college football viewing early there is a Friday night Big 10 = 14 match up as THE Ohio State University visits Northwestern. Northwestern has only averaged a little over 10 pts a game against Power 5 teams so I would be real surprised if Northwestern gets into double digits. I expect Evanston to be filled with scarlet and gray and the game to be over by end of 1st qtr./
Noon Saturday looks pretty thin. One game I might pay attention to is the Hangover Bowl as Florida visits South Carolina. One bit of positive news for the Gamecocks is QB Ryan Hilinski is expected to play.
The most interesting game at the mid-afternoon window is the battle for the Pac 12 North as Oregon visits Seattle in the Woke Bowl. Oregon is probably the Pac 12s last hope for a playoff bid. A game perhaps to keep an eye on is LSU visiting Stark Vegas. Considering Mississippi State is regressing under Joe Moorhead, LSU should easily handle the Bulldogs but you never know.
Any intriguing Pac 12 South game that nobody in the country will be able to watch as it is on the Pac 12 Network is a 6 pm game between Utah and the Fightin' Herms at SLC.
The prime time game is the Fightin' Khakis visiting Happy Valley. Penn State designated this game as the White Out game. Everyone talks about how tough Penn State is during these White Out games when in fact Penn State has a losing record of 5-6. Penn State has given up only 7.25 pts a game against Power 5 opponents. That and a sputtering Michigan offense signals Michigan unlikely to get above 14 pts. The only question is will Michigan's defense be able to keep them in the game.
For SEC country there is the Third Saturday in October game. There is an entire generation of fans who might be scratching their heads wondering what is the big deal about UT v. 'Bama. 'Bama has won 12 in a row. The average score has been 38 to 12. 'Bama has topped 45 pts in the last three games. This year has the all the hallmarks of being another behind the woodshed beating.
Don’t forget UCLA Stanford tonite. Here’s a good site for “live” links for all sports.
Duffel bag boy has put down another bet against Rutgers. Apparently, he lives in NJ. Illegal to place a bet there on Rutgers. So flies to Vegas. Huge spread again. I won the last one I bet with him. I didn’t do his parlay. The other team didn’t win by enough.

I think I will just go bow hunting. TTU is a stanker.
My Boise State Broncos will play the MILFs in Provo. If they can win out, they will finish in the top 10 as the SEC and Big 10 will beat each other to a pulp.
