UTEP scored in the upper 40s the last couple of weeks--Wisky has struggled MIGHTILY the last couple of weeks. Should be a closer game than you might expect. Trying to get used to seeing the phrases: "Missouri Tigers" and "SEC on CBS" together, but that should be a good game as well. LSU will win easily at Auburn. Cuse & Minny is an interesting matchup. Clemson-Florida State should be a good game too. I think Vanderbilt-Georgia and Oregon State-UCLA have potential also. Overall I see a mixed bag of games in week four.

That Arizona/Oregon game should be worth staying up for. K-St/OU should be a fun one too

I am really disliking the trend by the networks to shove all of the games of interest into the night time slot as opposed to spreading the good matchups out through the three time blocks. At 11am this coming weekend you basically have either significant mismatches or games between teams that are already fairly irrelevent. At the 2:30pm timeslot its only slightly better with the best matchups being Mizzou at S Carolina and Oregon St at UCLA. Then in the evening timeslot you have significantly important matchups like Clemson at FSU, Mich at ND and K-State at Oklahoma, along with a handful of other very interesting games like the Louisianna Tech game, LSU at Auburn, Rutgers at Arkansas and Vandy at Georgia. Thats 7 games of at least fair interest in the evening timeslot. Now I understand the networks probably get their best ratings when they put the marquee matchups in prime time, but there is a limit to the number of games that a fan can toggle back and forth from to watch. They couldn't have put the Vandy @ Georgia game in the 11am time slot and maybe placed the Rutgers @ Arkansas and K-State @ OK games in the 2:30pm time slot.

Rain is in the forecast this weekend. Could it push attendance below 90k? #PennState #PSUFB

Penn State worried about attendance for the Temple game. After two home games, Beaver Stadium (106,572) has been at 92% capacity.

Ohio game: 97,186
Navy game: 98,792

+1. I'm watching the UF/ Kentucky game now,and it's probably the most interesting game in the 11:00am time slot. That's not saying much. The funny thing is, my favorite time slot for both CFB and NFL is the late afternoon one. Most of the time I'm out on a Saturday night. Even if I'm at a bar, unless it's an Illini game, I usually don't give the night time matchups my full attention. And that stinks, because there are some really good ones tonight.

Everyone out there who misses the Zooker can hear him calling the Lafayette-Bucknell clash on CBS Sports Network. Was just watching briefly, and Zook seemed to be aware of things like field position and the score. So that's promising.
