Games to Watch: Week 3

Here are the games I will be keeping an eye on during week three.  Again, still early in the season, so it's harder to pick out the big games beforehand.

Saturday
Noon
Virginia Tech at East Carolina, Fox Sports 1.  Obviously, I'm only interested in this as a Tech fan.  Hopefully, Tech's offense will show some improvement, and of course the defense is already top notch.

3:30 PM
Alabama at Texas A&M, CBS.  The way ESPN's been hyping it, you would almost think this is the only game this week.  Regardless, this game is key in determining the postseason this year.  It definitely has implications for both the national and SEC titles.

Tennessee at Oregon, ABC.  I'm intrigued by this matchup.  Oregon really seems to be stretching out for its opponents, which can only help them.  Even if they are playing teams from the middle or lower ends of the ACC or SEC, it's still better than Whosheardofme U.  It's definitely a good alternative if I get tired of the SEC game.

7 PM
Ohio State at California, FOX.  Another matchup that intrigues me.  Ohio State has been winning, but sliding in the rankings.  And there's still questions about the health of their QB.

8 PM
Notre Dame at Purdue, ABC.  ESPN/ABC really loves to show Notre Dame whenever they can.  Since I'm not as familiar with ND or Big Ten history, I don't really know why this game gets played every year.
