What to Watch 10/27/07

Morning
West Virginia @ Rutgers Noon ABC/GP (Ch. 779) With Rutgers back in the Big East win after their upset of USF last Thursday night, this game is for second place in the conference behind undefeated UConn, but will probably decide who goes to the BCS and could be the start of National Title aspirations for the Mountaineers.
Colorado @ Texas Tech Noon ABC/GP (Ch. 780) - Can Texas Tech get back on track after the disaster last weekend against Missouri?
Mississippi State @ Kentucky Noon LFS/GP (Ch. 781) - Kentucky has played maybe the toughest 3-game stretch in the nation the last 3 weeks (South Carolina, LSU, Florida) and now could have a huge letdown after falling at home to Florida a week ago. Mississippi State is still fighting to get Sly Croom to his first bowl game in Starkville and to cool down the hot seat a little.

Afternoon
Southern California @ Oregon 3:00 p.m. FSN - Battle in Eugene to see who will take the Pac10 crown and a chance at the Rose Bowl (although Arizona State will have something to say about that) and keep their hopes up for a backdoor into the NCG
Georgia vs. Florida (Jacksonville) 3:30 p.m. CBS - Florida has owned this series, but Georgia really needs a win after getting their doors blown off by Tennessee.
South Florida @ UConn 3:30 p.m. ABC/GP (Ch. 778) - Both of these teams will be keeping an eye on the WVU/RU game earlier in the day because either one of these teams could be in first place by the end of Saturday. Can South Florida bounce back after last week's first loss at Rutgers?

Evening
Kansas @ Texas A&M 7:00 p.m. ESPN2 - You wouldn't guess it, but Texas A&M is tied for first with OU and Okie State in the Big 12 South. Upstart Kansas has gotten out to 7-0 and hopes to stay a game ahead of Missouri going into their showdown in Kansas City November 24th. TAMU should run all over Kansas. Expect a close one, but I think the 12th man pulls off the upset like Coach Fran seems to do every year at College Station.
South Carolina @ Tennessee 7:45 p.m. ESPN - Even if Florida beats UGA earlier on Saturday, both of these teams have only 2 losses in the SEC and are still in contention for the SEC East crown. South Carolina still has UGA and UF to come, so they seem to be in better position. Neither of these teams looked good a week ago with Tennessee getting destryed by Alabama and USC only managing 6 points against Vanderbilt
Ohio State @ Penn State 8:00 p.m. ABC - Ohio State is back to a familiar position at #1, but most of the nation is waiting for them to actually beat someone. Does Penn State qualify? tOSU has had trouble in Happy Valley at night, and that's where they'll be Saturday night. We'll see if Joe Pa has one more upset off his sleeve. If so, he might find his way into a BCS at-large spot.
Cal @ Arizona State 10:00 p.m. FSN - Like Ohio State and Kansas, Arizona State has come out to an impressive undefeated record without actually beating anyone of substance. Their real season starts Saturday with a visit from the bears before going to Oregon and UCLA then getting USC and Arizona at home. These next 4 games will make or break the ASU season and could find them in the National Championship Game if they can win out.
