First Saturday of Autumn...

This will be our only uninterrupted Saturday of college football until November. For we got the e-mail late yesterday that The Playmaker had been selected to play on the travel soccer team. Great news! Except for the fact that every game is Saturday at 2:30. Alas, we will adapt. (And no, we are not the head coach -- merely the assistant coach.) So with no fewer than ... wait for it ... 17 games to watch on TV today, here's what we will be focusing on:

Miami (OH) @ Florida, noon -- We will get our first look at Gator QB John Brantley.

Samford @ Florida State, noon -- The Seminoles travel to OU next week.

UConn @ Michigan, 3:30 -- Why more people aren't picking the Huskies in The Big House is beyond us. We think UConn leaves with the W. And the beginning of RichRod's final season begins.

Purdue @ Notre Dame, 3:30 -- Wow. Great opening game. We'll take ND to lose.

William & Mary @ UMass, 3:30 -- Team Vic will be watching. We will, too.

Washington @ BYU, 7:00 -- Now that a-hole Max Hall has left, we no longer despise BYU. We do like Coach Sark of the Huskies.

Oregon State @ TCU, 7:45 -- Stealing a page from Boise State, TCU schedules one non conference game and then plays in their crap conference the rest of the season and thumps its chest in December and says, "Put us in the BCS!" We hope they lose by a hundred.

LSU vs. North Carolina, 8:00 -- Now that the whole Carolina team has been busted for something, Lester must win this game to keep LSU faithful from coming after him. If he loses this one, it's a lock that he will be on the sidelines in Ann Arbor a year from now.

Cincinnati @ Fresno State, 10:00 -- Fresno has Coach Cal's old attitude: Any time. Any place. In a few weeks Our Sooners must travel to Cincy.

Wisconsin @ UNLV, 11:00 -- Yet another reason why college football is superior to the NFL. After an entire day of football viewing, you can watch a game kickoff at 11 P.M. How great is that?!?

Enjoy the games...
