My 5 must see games for Sat Oct. 8th

1) Florida @ LSU 3:30 CBS:  Your are probably thinking why?  Brantley is hurt.  LSU at home is going to kill them.  Yes LSU will win walking away very easily.  But, this is the first common opponent of BAMA and LSU.  So, I want to see what kind of numbers can Florida post against that vaunted LSU D.  We saw them last week vs Bama and it wasn't good.  Will it be any better today, we will soon see.

2) Auburn @ Arkansas 7 ESPN: This is a big game, because the winner will likely finish 3rd in the West behind LSU and ALabama.  Auburn still has a shot to win the west but has to go to LSU but catches BAMA at home so.......  Arkansas already  has 1 SEC loss and cant afford another one.  Can Ark stop the Auburn running game that last week handed the ball to Dyer 40+ times.... We will soon see.

3) Miami @ VT 3:30 ABC:  VT gets a struggling Miami team at home.  I think  this is huge coming off a loss at home vs. Clemson.  VT still controls its own destiny in the Coastal divison still having to play GT.  They can not afford to have 2 losses.  For Mia, it is almost a salvage game for their season.  Which will happen, salvage or stay in for a chance to win the Coastal?

4) Oklahoma @ Texas Noon ABC: Oklahoma already has 1 big win week 3 @ FSU.  Can Landry Jones and weapons come to Dallas with the same type intensisty and do the same thing to Texas.  On the other hand, it is hard to believe that Texas is sitting at #11.  This is the quitest a Texas team has been in 4 or 5 years.  Can Texas make splash with a big win and introduce themselves on the National Scene this year.

 5) Ohio St @ Nebraska 8pm ABC:  With all the off season problems Ohio State, they have been under the microscope and have not been very large.  On the other hand Nebraska got walloped last week when they visited Madison.  Both teams have 1 Big 10 loss already, they do not need 2.  Oh St still has dates with Mich and Wisc.  Nebraska can still win the LEgends side and play in the CHampionship game, the loser is probably done for the season while the winner still has a shot!

  1. I hope the Auburn/Arkansas game is a good one. I'll be flipping to that one during commercials of the UGA/Tennesse game. None of the games I've watched today have been very good (other than watching Tech/Maryland and rooting against the gnats, hah). Keep up the blogging, Dubs!
