If you’re not sure what to watch, here’s what we’ll have our eyes on in each window:
Friday Night: Well, if Washington is for real as a Pac-12 and national contender, this is where they prove it - at home, against Stanford, in a matchup of the only two Pac-12 teams really worthy of major attention. If you get bored with Stanford’s 56 tight ends and punting in plus territory, you can always flip over for BYU’s inevitable two-point nailbiter against Toledo.
Saturday, noon: Yuck. This might be a good time for grocery shopping or household chores. Your most interesting option might be Miami visiting Georgia Tech. Or if you have CBS Sports Network, you could start looking forward to next week and scout East Carolina as they play UCF. Top candidate for hilarity: Notre Dame trying to deal with Syracuse and Babersball. (This game would have been much more interesting if it was actually in Syracuse and not at MetLife Stadium.)
Saturday, 3:30 p.m.: The biggest game will be Wisconsin visiting Michigan, where Jim Harbaugh will swiftly demolish one of the season’s biggest surprise teams, just like LSU and Michigan State did, except that they didn’t! Also of interest: Tennessee’s due to screw up a game sooner or later, aren’t they? Well, why not tune in when the Vols visit Athens and see if the Bulldogs can step on their face with a hobnail boot and break their nose? You could also check out Oklahoma/TCU to see which Big XII team will have their season totally ruined on the first day of October.
Saturday, 7:00 p.m. USF vs. Cincinnati.
Saturday, 8:00 p.m. But if you have more than one screen, you’re going to want to watch Louisville-Clemson. It’s going to be so, so lit.
Saturday, 10:30 p.m. You could start preparing for the inevitability of Boise State vulturing the Group of 5 spot if Houston doesn’t get it by watching them beat Utah State to smithereens. Or, go for some #Pac12AfterDark between Arizona and UCLA and wonder how long RichRod will get to stay in Tucson.
