Watson's Viewing Guide

Use this thread to talk about said football.

Some great games lined up for this week...I'm also curious to see if Michigan continues to make teams look inept against Colorado. I know Colorado isn't great, but they are better than Hawaii/UCF.

[Caulfield]

Damned glad to see a better slate of games than last week .
Gimme Oklahoma over tOSU , Mich State over ND late and close hopefully a double OT type game ,
if Appalachia gives Miami as good a game as they gave Tennessee then I'll be a believer and wont doubt'em anymore ,
I dont really know what to expect out of the FSU-Louisville game but I'll have my popcorn ready in great anticipation ,
TAMU wont have a cakewalk on the plains and may well get upset ,
Oregon-Nebraska I'll be interested in and Mike Riley should at least know how to prepare for the Ducks ,
Colorado-Michigan and USC-Stanford are helmet games I'll tune in off and on now and again , even Pitt-OK State could be entertaining for a bit ,
but I will have OD'ed on football by the time the Fondue Party is in full swing and wont catch those .
Oh , and gimme the Bams over the Rebs to dash that 3peat dream of Old Miss .

This week looks gold...even though last week provided some awesome content including controversy, overtimes, and near superupsets.

Particularly excited to watch Bama and Ole Miss...got to watch Ole Miss win those last two and it was incredible. Michigan State and Notre Dumb will be good...go Sparty (mainy because I just hate Notre Dame). I hope to see OU give Ohio State a good whooping, that'll hopefully help TCU's case when TCU beats a strong OU later this season. Finally Louisville and FSU...just dirty matchup.

I'm curious to see if Colorado is better than they have been. They've looked improved over the last several years.

Speaking of Colorado, here's the depth chart for this week:

Yet they are 4 point dogs to Auburn on the road.

I think we use the word upset a little too loosely. I don't think either team winning would be considered an upset or surprise at this point in the season. It should be a good game.

Pitt travels to Stillwater to face OSU. After the big win vs Penn State last week, it's a tough road test. They're in a stretch of three tough games(OSU, Clemson, UNC). Least they're on TV again .
