Games to Watch: Week 5

There are plenty of other interesting games going on this weekend, but for me, they will probably be interesting after the fact.  It's still too early to solidify any positions in any conference race, but several teams could end up in deep holes.  If any of the teams that only have a cross-divisional loss take a second loss, then the wrap up will get interesting.

Saturday, September 27
Noon
Vanderbilt at Kentucky, SEC Network.  It's almost the toilet bowl for the SEC East already.  The loser of this game will be in a very deep hole, especially if Vandy finds itself on the wrong end of the score again.

12:30 PM
Western Michigan at Virginia Tech, ACC Network.  We're back to only caring because I'm a VT fan.  It's homecoming against a directional Michigan school.

3:30 PM
Arkansas at Texas A&M, CBS.  I think this could be a showcase for A&M.

7 PM
Missouri at South Carolina, ESPN.  First, it's an interesting conference matchup, and one that played a huge role in determining the SEC East last year.  But also, it's the ESPN Primetime game, called by Brad Nessler and Todd Blackledge.  The last three games they have called have all been big upsets (VT over Ohio State, BC over USC, and Mississippi State over LSU).  I am now going to be including any game they call on this list, as they seem to be following some fun games.

UNC at Clemson, ESPNU.  I have a bad feeling this will be a horrible comedy of errors.

7:30 PM
Duke at Miami, ESPN2.  The battle for the ACC Coastal could take a major step right here.

8 PM
Notre Dame vs. Syracuse, ABC.  This is the first game of the "not quite a member" deal with the ACC.
