The only games that are somewhat interesting are Bama vs FL and Aub vs. Penn St.

So f*cking boring! Time for 9 conference games and all P5 OOC scheduling.

I agree, but the smaller schools need the revenue.

Miss. St. vs Memphis and Central Mich. vs LSU could be interesting.

These weeks usually end up with a few shockers

Maybe the smaller schools shouldn't be fielding programs if their lifelines are subsidized scrimmages (er, I mean, "games") with bigger schools.

But this is the oh-so-great/sacred regular season the anti-playoff expansion ppl love to try to protect

Well, I mean, yeah some of those games might be competitive but does any really care about those teams and if they get an upset? Unless it's a top 10 team losing then it doesn't warrant more than a brief chuckle as I scroll through the scoreboard.

Used to be if you couldn't make the playoffs the object was to get better. Now the object is to make it easier. Everyone gets a trophy. Yea

Michigan State-Miami, Oklahoma-Nebraska, Cincy-Indiana, Virginia Tech-West Virginia, MSU-Memphis, Oklahoma State-Boise, and Arizona State-BYU are all interesting to me. Maybe your standards are too high

We'd all murder for any sort of game slate if this was April/May. Gotta enjoy the football however we can get it.

There's more than just the SEC slate of games you know?

Yeah, the marquee is Bama-UF and Aub.-PSU, but there's also ranked matchup between ASU and BYU, MSU and Miami will be an interesting P5 match-up, and VT and WVU renew their rivalry.

SC-UGA and OK-Nebraska has made for some good TV in the past but I don't think so this year.

Miami is underwhelming but Sparty is trying to build something in year 2 under Mel Tucker. It actually could be interesting which team shows out. Miami will probably win by a 7 to 10 IMO

Nebraska will want to opt out after their game with OU. At least it brings back old memories.

This makes zero sense.

Yeah, let's make it easier...by keeping these cupcakes around. Participation trophy checks for smaller schools. That's the ticket

You know there can't be a top 10 without the other 120 schools right?

Not the best slate, but there are some decent matchups this weekend.

OM and Tulane
Auburn and PSU
Alabama and UF
Michigan State and Miami
BYU and Arizona State

All very watchable, IMO
