We're finally to the point of the season where conference play starts in earnest. But for a lot of teams, it's still the final out of conference game.
There are probably several games where I'd be more interested if it was later in the season. Right now, though, when teams have only played one or two conference games, there's not a lot of separation in the races.
Thursday, September 18
7:30 PM
Auburn at Kansas State, ESPN. A rare SEC appearance on Thursday night as they travel to the Big 12. This game could shift national perception of the winning conference.
Saturday, September 20
Noon
Georgia Tech at Virginia Tech, ESPN. The ACC Wheel of Destiny will take a hard and fast spin this week. We already know that in most years, the winner of this game takes the Coastal Division.
3:30 PM
Florida at Alabama, CBS. This should show us a lot about both teams.
UVA at BYU, ESPN. UVA has been surprising so far this season. But, if BYU runs the table this season, they could make the playoff discussion very interesting.
8 PM
Clemson at Florida State, ABC. The last couple of years, this game has determined the ACC Atlantic. But with Jameis Winston out for the first half, will FSU find themselves in a hole that they have to climb out of in the second half?
Miami at Nebraska, ESPN2. Another one of those games that was bigger in the 80s and 90s.
