What to Watch -- Week 3

This week, we start wrapping up some non-conference schedules as others begin their conference matchups.

Thursday, September 15
7:30 PM
Houston at Cincinnati, ESPN.  Quite possible the last speed bump on Houston's schedule until November.

Friday, September 16
We'll just pass on the three games scheduled tonight.  I don't even know if they're worth watching while you're in a hotel waiting for your game on Saturday.

Saturday, September 17
Noon
Florida State at Louisville, ABC.  The first top 10 matchup of the year, and it's the site of GameDay.  Louisville is having their first real test, and could finally show if they really are a force, or just benefiting from a weak opening schedule.

3:30 PM
Oregon at Nebraska, ABC.  These teams haven't met in 30 years.

Alabama at Ole Miss, CBS.  This is a game that has tripped up both teams in the past few years.  Early separation in the SEC West.

Boston College at Virginia Tech, ESPNU.  The old offensive coordinator comes back to Blacksburg.  Could be an interesting rematch of the last few VT spring games.

7 PM

Mississippi State at LSU, ESPN2.  A nasty outcome here could turn the dial on Les Miles' hot seat up to 11.

7:30 PM

Michigan State at Notre Dame, NBC.  Definitely a key game in determining the playoff field this year.  ND can't afford any more losses to stay comfortably in the conversation.  Michigan State still needs to prove themselves this year.

8 PM
USC at Stanford, ABC.  Pac-12 dominance starts here.
