Today's Schedule of Games
“They’ll remember what you do in November.” This is a week full of meaningful games across the college football landscape. Michigan is also back in action after the bye, er, improvement week.
Here are some of today’s highlights:
At Noon on CBS: #1 Ohio State at Rutgers. It’s November so we’ll be keeping an eye on Ohio State from here on out. They’re the #1 team, don’t you know? Rutgers is actually pretty decent this year, and Schiano knows how to play defense (except against Michigan). But Rutgers won’t have an answer for Marvin Harrison because NOBODY EVER FREAKING DOUBLE COVERS THAT GUY. It’s like some unwritten rule. OSU will win and stay *snort* #1.
Also at Noon on FOX: #23 Kansas State at #7 Texas. Texas still has the best win by far in college football and they are regrouping after being tripped up by Oklahoma. They will still likely be without injured QB Quinn Ewers. Maalik Murphy – who looked good against BYU – will be taking his place. Kansas State has won 3 straight and is on a roll. The winner stays alive for the Big 12 title race. This is the kind of game where K-State always gets counted out. Guilty. I’m counting them out and picking Texas.
Also at Noon on ESPN: Texas A&M at #10 Ole Miss. Ole Miss is still alive in the SEC West (barely, Alabama has the tie-breaker head-to-head win over them). Texas A&M played Alabama and Tennessee pretty well, losing both by single digits. It should be a competitive close game, but I’ll go with Lane’s guys and Ole Miss in the end.
In the Afternoon at 3:30 PM on FOX: #11 Penn State at Maryland. Hey look! We can scout both of our upcoming opponents in one game. Does the NCAA know about this? If you are Penn State, you are scared to death about this game. You don’t want to be here, your focus is on Michigan. You just want to get it over with. But one of these days Taulia is going to giveth more than he taketh away. If he does, Maryland can get away from Penn State pretty quickly. And they don’t have the offense to catch up. But PSU has enough defense to keep that from happening, and Taulia is still gonna Taulia. Penn State squeaks out a win.
Also at 3:30 PM on CBS: #12 Missouri at #2 Georgia. Missouri is pretty good. But they’re not Georgia-good. And they lost to the only really good team they played – LSU. They’ll hang around for a little while but then Georgia will kick into that extra gear they have when they feel like using it, and dominate Missouri. Thus giving the middle finger to the CFP pollsters that demoted them from #1.
Also at 3:30 PM on ABC: #9 Oklahoma at #22 Oklahoma State. I thought that Bedlam was supposed to be on Rivalry Week? Does nobody care about Big 12 Tradition anymore? Oh, yeah . . . that. This is the last Big 12 Bedlam. You know Oklahoma State wants this bad. Give the Sooners a jilted-lover sendoff they won’t forget. I think they’ll do it, and beat Oklahoma one last time.
In the Evening at 7:30 PM on NBC: Purdue at #3 Michigan. There is nothing to do but win big and break the media narrative that sign scouting was some big game-changing advantage. Even if it supposedly gave us a 3 touchdown advantage per game (a ridiculous assumption), we’re still undefeated even if you dock us those 21 points per game in all of our games. At some point, media, just come out and say you don’t like Harbaugh and are trying to get rid of him, and this is the best excuse you got. Michigan will refuse to cooperate with the narrative, and will win big.
Also at 7:30 PM on ABC: #5 Washington at #20 USC. There will be like 1,000 points scored in this game. By halftime. Washington is the favorite, but USC / Lincoln Riley / Caleb Williams thrive on this type of track-meet game. They will finally get their shit together after a rough October, and outrace the Huskies for the W.
At 7:45 PM on CBS: #14 LSU at #8 Alabama. The Big One in the SEC West. Like USC, LSU can score points. Like USC, LSU gives them right back. That’s not going to work against Alabama and their defense full of 5-stars. Alabama has been inconsistent on offense throughout the season, but Jalen Milroe has been coming on the last few weeks. He’ll keep Alabama in touch with LSU until the Alabama defense takes matters into their own hands in the later stages of the game. Alabama wins and lurks in the SEC for Georgia.
Finally, your Pac-12 After Dark Special - meaningless crazy football just for the fun of it:
At 10:30 PM on FS1: #19 UCLA at Arizona. I’m going to just leave what I put here last week, replacing “Oregon State” with “UCLA”: Arizona may be the most Pac-12 After Dark Special-est of all the Pac12 teams. You don’t ever want to find yourself facing an underdog Arizona, on the road, late at night, in a Pac-12 After Dark Special game. Weird juju happens down there. It will happen again, and Arizona will take out #19 UCLA.

November 4th, 2023 at 12:42 PM ^
WTF Rutgers.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:43 PM ^
I could've made that pass...from my chair
November 4th, 2023 at 12:51 PM ^
indeed, sir
November 4th, 2023 at 12:44 PM ^
Get Henderson running laterally and he's not that great.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:45 PM ^
TWO guys fall for the pump fake !!! my gosh Rutgers
November 4th, 2023 at 12:46 PM ^
Clemson gets to the 3 yard line but has to settle for a field goal. Up on Notre Dame 10-3.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:47 PM ^
Two Rutgers guys left their feet when they could have had the sack on McCord.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:48 PM ^
Clemson missed a chance to go up 2 scores. The ND win looks smaller and smaller on the OSU resume.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:51 PM ^
Surprise, surprise. osu with a generous 4th down spot.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:51 PM ^
Henderson got an awfully healthy spot there.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:51 PM ^
OSU short. Refs doing their bidding
November 4th, 2023 at 12:51 PM ^
It's Ohio State, this will never get overturned.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:57 PM ^
Almost.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:52 PM ^
JT was short Part II
butt slap butt slap
November 4th, 2023 at 12:52 PM ^
IU looking pretty good so far. Up 7-0 and almost got a pick 6.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:52 PM ^
Texas is up big early. Oh well.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:53 PM ^
OSU, to no one's surprise, is soft on 4th down but still gets bailed out by a very generous spot.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:54 PM ^
OSU gets favorable spot
November 4th, 2023 at 12:54 PM ^
OSU is so very mid.
We should beat them by at least 3 scores....again
November 4th, 2023 at 12:55 PM ^
Agree.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:55 PM ^
Ohio dribbling down their leg!! check down Mccord not seeing the field
November 4th, 2023 at 12:55 PM ^
McCord SUCKS under pressure.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:56 PM ^
And just kind of average in general.
November 4th, 2023 at 1:00 PM ^
They could honestly be the best team in the country if they had a better qb
November 4th, 2023 at 1:02 PM ^
And if they can run better on short yardages. And if they can defend without blitzing all the time against good offense. Other than that, yes they can be.
November 4th, 2023 at 1:04 PM ^
That's kind of been their story for several years, but this season they took a step back at QB.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:58 PM ^
That TD looked very easy for MSU. You may need to start worrying about your players' safety Rhule.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:58 PM ^
if NU wins in EL toay, Rutgers and NU are going bowling by week 9. Wow.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:59 PM ^
Wimsatt is so bad.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:59 PM ^
Ohio State paid wimsatt to over throw every wide open receiver
November 4th, 2023 at 12:59 PM ^
Wimsatt is TERRIBLE at throwing the forward pass.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:59 PM ^
Rutgers doing better on D most of the time. Hard to play D well all game though.
November 4th, 2023 at 1:01 PM ^
Woah OSU's safety read that play perfectly, weird. We should take all these clips for video evidence.
November 4th, 2023 at 1:01 PM ^
I thought the morning slate looked pretty thin today. I didn't actually count them, but it looks like there are only about 10 fbs noon games today, around 30+ afternoon games, and another dozen night games.
November 4th, 2023 at 1:01 PM ^
Rutgers moving the ball on the ground has my attention. Too bad Wimsatt has a Rutgers jersey, otherwise that spot would have been a first down.
November 4th, 2023 at 1:01 PM ^
Hooters colors = Clemson's colors.
Kind of strange that I never noticed that before.
November 4th, 2023 at 1:03 PM ^
Unless I'm mistaken, I believe they're also Raisins colors.
November 4th, 2023 at 1:04 PM ^
How fun was that playcall for RU?!
November 4th, 2023 at 1:04 PM ^
Wow what a play. but #14 for Rutgers ! you have to fucking block!
November 4th, 2023 at 1:04 PM ^
That was a crazy play by Rutgers, it was so fucking awesome.
November 4th, 2023 at 1:05 PM ^
💯!! That was very smooth
November 4th, 2023 at 1:05 PM ^
Awesome trick play by Rutgers!
November 4th, 2023 at 1:05 PM ^
That play took some sack.
November 4th, 2023 at 1:05 PM ^
God, block #1 you idiots.
November 4th, 2023 at 1:05 PM ^
lol Rutgers
November 4th, 2023 at 1:05 PM ^
OSU mid
Still soft
Nothing more to add
November 4th, 2023 at 1:05 PM ^
It's looking like Clemson's going to get it done today.
November 4th, 2023 at 1:07 PM ^
I mean, they're a REALLY tough football team..
November 4th, 2023 at 1:05 PM ^
Rutgers: Derp, derp, derp, derp, derp, derp, AWESOME PLAY!!
November 4th, 2023 at 1:05 PM ^
Touchdown Clemson. Up 17-6. Fuck you, Notre Dame.
