San Diego St and Stanford lived up to billing, winning reasonably at about the expected margin. However, it was UNLV's night in the spotlight, upsetting dark horse darling Fresno State 30-27 in overtime in front of the twelve dedicated Rebel football fans in Sam Boyd Stadium (an exaggeration - there aren't that many). First conference loss for the Bulldogs, first conference win for Vegas. Maybe the last; who knows?
On tap for today... An exciting daytime slate, so save your housework for the evening...
The 10 am Mountain time starts include Florida St/Syracuse, West Virginia/Texas Tech, Georgia/Missouri, Northwestern/Minnesota (both undefeated in the Big Ten!), Cincy/Miami, Duke/GT, and the State Fair spectacular, Oklahoma/Texas! Clickers at the ready!
The 1:30 MDT slot is even better, with headline games including two Tier 1 teams, Auburn/Mississippi St, two more undefeateds in TCU/ Baylor, tier 2 powerhouses Oregon/UCLA, Louisville/Clemson, and Michigan St/Purdue.
And if you like car crashes, don't miss the battle of the winless in the MAC, UMass at Kent St, or the Sun Belt version of New Mexico St at Troy, where the winless Trojans are actually favored...
The evening games aren't quite as compelling: Alabama/Arkansas, Washington/Cal, Penn State/Michigan, LSU/Florida, Texas A&M/Ole Miss, and USC/Arizona. Nothing to sneeze at, and our remote will be in use, but nothing like the midday slate.
(And Wyoming plays at Hawaii in a 7 pm Hawaii start, which places it as a Sunday game for those of you in the Eastern time zone! Gotta love college football!)
