Friday

#23 Missouri @ Kansas8:00 PM ESTFOXMIZ -5.5, O/U 50.5

-Only good game from the Friday evening slate

Saturday Early Afternoon

#6 Oregon @ Oklahoma St12:00 PM ESTESPNORE -22.5, O/U 57.5
Arizona St @ #10 Texas A&M12:00 PM ESTABCA&M -14.5, O/U 50.5
#11 Oklahoma @ Michigan 12:00 PM ESTFOXOU -5.5, O/U 43.5
Wake Forest @ Purdue 12:00 PM ESTFS1WAKE -3, O/U 49.5

-Boise State took Oregon down to the wire in week 1. Oklahoma State has a disappointing performance against Tulsa, with Drew Mestemaker at QB. Can Oregon snap back into form?
-Fun matchup in College Station. A&M was a popular preseason pick for most overrated top 10 team.
-1-0* Michigan welcomes Oklahoma. I expect karma to bite Michigan in the ass on Saturday.
-Wake @ Purdue is an opportunity to scout a Notre Dame opponent.

Saturday Mid/Late Afternoon

Rice @ #3 Notre Dame3:30 PM ESTNBCND -44.5, O/U 55.5
#12 Alabama @ Kentucky3:30 PM ESTABCALA -10.5, O/U 49.5
Arizona @ #15 BYU3:30 PM ESTFOXBYU -7.5, O/U 47.5
Cal @ Syracuse 3:30 PM ESTACCNSYR -3.5, O/U 56.5

-Our Irish welcome Rice in the home opener. Freeman has a tendency to struggle in home openers. Let's get to 2-0
-Kentucky and Kenny Minchey welcome in Alabama. Kentucky always seems to upset someone in Lexington.
-Ultra veteran Noah Fifita play future Notre Dame opponent BYU.
- Cal and Cuse should be a bunch of offense. I like the over.

Saturday Evening

#18 Tennessee @ Georgia Tech 7:00 PM ESTESPNTENN -12.5, O/U 55.5
#1 Ohio State @ #4 Texas7:30 PM ESTABC TEX -1.5, O/U 49.5
Iowa State @ #21 Iowa7:30 PM ESTNBCIOWA -14, O/U 40.5
Arkansas @ #20 Utah10:15 PM ESTESPNUTAH -12.5, O/U 54.5

-A big game for both Tennessee and GT. GT can't afford to drop to 0-2, and Tennessee doesn't want to drop an early game before conference play.
-Definitely the game of the weekend. Manning looked terrible last year against OSU. Can he rebound? I love early season matchups like this.
-Battle for the Cy-Hawk trophy! One of the more underrated college football rivalries.
-A fun, late night matchup before bed.

SEC playing at Utah?? Nice! But IIRC Florida played there somewhat recently.

I think there's a legit chance Michigan is shut out. Oklahoma should have another great defense this year and Bryce Underwood is horrific

I'm glad this game is back. I don't take a ton of issue with NIL and The Portal, but conference realignment sucks as far as I'm concerned. Geographically, numerically and traditionally. There are maybe 2 good rivalries in each of the pro sports in North America. European Football thrives on them. College football does too, but not nearly as much in this era.

Play this game every year.

The Missouri - Kansas game has always been rooted in the Civil War, since the game has historically not mattered at all it just never has gotten traction nationally I guess until Kansas dropped the video

This game had a pretty good run around the end of the Weis Era. 2007-09 or thereabouts. Good stretch of games.

After this week, they don't play again until 2031.

Pitt dropped from -8.5 to -7 against UCF. I think the Knights surprise that shitbird Narduzzi and win outright.

BYU is on a five game win streak vs Arizona going back to 2016. Only one that wasn't tight was 2024 in Provo.

Who are we pulling for Texas or OSU? Hate both but I need one to super hate.

Gotta root against the SEC and the propaganda that got 5 garbage teams in last year.

Root for? Root for OSU. Always weaken the SEC, Sark will become unraveled at the prospect of another 9 - 3 season.

I feel like a Texas loss increases the chances they cancel the ND series (not that a win guarantees it stays on the schedule, either)

If I am watching with my OSU friends, OSU. If I am watching with anyone else, Texas. I want there to be multiple teams at the top of the B10 with 2 losses. And I think Texas will get 2 losses even if they beat OSU.

I'd like to see Texas go independent. I want to like them. As it is I've got to root for them to get smashed.

They just took Bodie Kohoun off on an ambulance (now at BC). Looked like a head/ neck injury while making a tackle.
