Unprecedented College Football Weekend?
I don’t recall a college football weekend quite like this.
On top of this, #12 MSU @ #13 OSU as well as #15 Oklahoma State @ #21 Iowa State. So that makes 20 of the top 25 teams squaring off this weekend. Has this ever happened before?
Also what should we call this weekend? Since we are not part of any of these matchups I think I’ll go with Meteor Week. What say you?
Go Blue.

Agree, I'm thrilled that I didn't decide to go to a game today. Already been to games this fall at LSU, Mississippi State, and Oklahoma State. Picked a great weekend to surf my couch.

Great minds think alike, I actually looked up that weekend before posting this. That weekend there were only three top 25 matchups:
#3 FSU @ #5UNC
#4 Michigan @ #2 Penn State
#8 Tennessee @ #24 Southern Miss

yesterday. Games were fanatastic, if only the refs would have flagged that damn kick 6.

over the decades is that it's often the unheralded weekends that turn out to be the best and the ones with the biggest matchups can quite easily disappoint. Not to say that today can't be fun but I also wouldn't be shocked if it's not even the best CFB weekend of the year.

We are off to a good start already.
November 11th, 2017 at 11:48 AM ^
So many good games... my wife will totally hate me after today.

had panned out as expected this preseason. There might have been 4 Top 10 matchups.
November 11th, 2017 at 11:54 AM ^
November 11th, 2017 at 11:56 AM ^
November 11th, 2017 at 11:56 AM ^
Agree, let's just get to 8 already.
November 11th, 2017 at 12:03 PM ^
still don't think 8 is a bad idea for playoff. Might slightly diminish some games, but there is still a lot of meaning week in and week out.
November 11th, 2017 at 11:57 AM ^
This Saturday is called I work the afternoon/evening shift and will miss all but the noon games. Hooray. And I definitely don't care enough about the non-Michigan games to DVR them all. Highlights it is.
But hey, at least I am home to watch most of MSU-OSU? Of all the games to be able to watch...
November 11th, 2017 at 11:57 AM ^
Today should be one hell of a day for football.
November 11th, 2017 at 12:01 PM ^
First Saurday to myself in can't remember when. Great games all day long
November 11th, 2017 at 12:01 PM ^
That graphic makes it look better than it actually is, though. All the top ten matchups are repeated.

guess it's a pretty good lineup but nothing great. Ga/Auburn, ND/Miami and TCU/Ok are listed twice each which makes th graphic look better than it is. Funny thing is I think the only 2 unranked teams on there are both going to win their games.

That was good defense.

Sparty playing for the shut out !!!!
November 11th, 2017 at 1:48 PM ^
Sparty has the momentum with that FG.
