    Looking forward to seeing:

    Texas-OSU
    USC-Oregon
    Tech-Kansas
    West Virginia-USF

    This will be the real test for UT this season, playing a top 15 team on the road.
    USC and Oregon SHOULD be a huge game, and I hope USC loses. But Pete Carroll has come to prove he can elevate his team's play to a higher level in big games, just the unranked games is where USC stumbles once a year. Alas Im expecting a blowout for the USC game, 10 point victory for the Texas game, and Florida struggle in another game.

    I"m just glad that my crimson tide have a week off. They desperately need it figure out what's going on with McElroy. Can't wait to watch the USC-Oregon game.

    So Miss @ UH should be interesting.

    They always give us a game.

    I have a feeling the USC vs Oregon game will be pretty good to watch.

    No Dez + No Hunter + Texas D = Longhorn Victory.

    Mark Schlabach (sp?) had an article on ESPN yesterday that talked about this college football season and how it has not been a good one, so far. He mentioned how there haven't been really any dominant teams even though Florida, Alabama, Texas, and Iowa are all undefeated but they have struggled at various times in winning. Also about how Sam Bradford is out for the season, the ACC is mediocre (Miami blowing an excellent chance at a BCS bowl game by losing to Clemson), and how Boise State may really be a top 5 team or even better.

    Go Hawkeyes! Dealing with a lot of injuries this week should keep it interesting.

    The OSU game scares me a little..they will be jacked, Texas needs to come out and punch them in the mouth, they will fold.

    Tim Tebow will break Herschel Walker's SEC rushing TD record in front of 40,000+ Georgia fans.

    Kinda glad I'll be at the Rox game and will miss the UT/OSU game. I can't take another three heart attacks and 2 strokes during the games between these two teams. Seems every year we barely escape with a win against them.

    I feel ya on that one, decided I was gonna fly up for the game when I saw the schedule this year. We should be able to beat them, but we seem to always have to play catch up. I hope we have learned our lesson from years past against them, and we put them away early. I've never been to stillwater and can't wait for the wknd to get here!

    Hook em!

    yeah, Stillwater is just as boring as OKC. Eskimo Joe's is too crowded on game days to bother. Have fun at the game/tailgating! (Because not much else to do.)

    actually the pac 10 title will be decided 12/5 when UA whoops USC on their home field. :)

    I hope the ducks beat USC though. That would really make the Oregon game in Tucson (assuming UA wins the next couple) very exciting.

    It's so nice to have UA football be relevant

    Florida has had their struggles, but Georgia is just not a good team. I live in Georgia now, and I haven't heard many alums even giving their own team much of a shot.
