So, of course.....THIS is the weekend I'll be in Vegas.

Guess even a boring slate of games, is still a good day to sit around the sports book and ask "what do you think of that USC / Utah line??"

 

[Starman]

Michigan -- 14 vs. Bye. Will they cover?

 

[dixiehack]

Impossible for it to be a disappointing schedule on Hate Week.

 

[JackReacher]

GameDay will be at I-AA James Madison this weekend. It's just a shame Mickey Matthews isn't there for it.

Unofficial word was they were headed to Oxford for A&M/Ole Miss until this last weekend went a little sideways for them. Given the alternatives, I'm surprised they didn't stick with that.

I think it's cool when GameDay does something like that, like when it went to one of the Dakotas. It'd be neat if it went to an HBCU someday.

Yeah. God forbid they mix it up and not go to an SEC school. THE HORROR!

 

[exmediahack]

Wow some really stick out.

Tulsa, Kansas State and Northwestern all seem just excellent. Memphis just had the biggest win those kids will have. K State and NU were humiliated at home and get to play us against the world.

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

I'm hoping they go to Philadelphia for Temple and Notre Dame.

"Puke inside of a pumpkin" is the most accurate description I've heard for UT orange. Kudos, young man, no writer has ever captured it better.

 

[BTExpress]

Like it or not --- and I know some people don't --- there is a reason UT's color is called "orange" and no other team can accurately make that claim.

 

[Captain_Kirk]

Also have a nice game Thursday night between Georgia Southern and App St that could well decide the Sun Belt.

They went to Hampton at Florida A&M in 2008.

 

[SnarkShark]

Undefeated Utah underdogs on the road at USC...

If both WAZZU and Stanford win this week, I'm calling it: GameDay will be in Pullman on Halloween.

You might be right. Florida-Georgia for the SEC East would be its competition.

ESPN just flex-timed the Notre Dame-Temple game to 8 p.m. on ABC so I think they're in Philadelphia assuming Temple gets by East Carolina Thursday. A Temple football renaissance, considering how traditionally awful that program has been, is too big of a story to pass on.

 

[Steak Snabler]

Maybe they can have Bill Cosby as the guest picker.

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

My guess is it would be the ubiquitous Kevin Hart.
