What I'm Watching - October 18, 2008

Morning

Wake Forest at Maryland, 12:00 PM, GamePlan - Maryland doesn't bounce back from embarrassing defeat by UVA

Georgia Tech at Clemson, 12:00 PM, ESPN - Clemson in absolute disarray and Paul Johnson gets QB Nesbitt back for the trip to South Carolina

Vanderbilt at Georgia, 12:30 PM, GamePlan - Vandy had a good thing going...and then came back to Earth last week against Miss St. Look for much of the same against UGA between the hedges


Afternoon

Mississippi at Alabama, 3:30 PM, CBS - Houston Nutt has made a living winning games like this, and after seeing Bama against Tulane and Kentucky I could see Ole Miss pulling the upset. Saban is known for slipping against inferior opponents after getting up for the really big ones (in the same manner as Pete Carroll)

Kansas at Oklahoma, 3:30 PM, ABC - Oklahoma rebounds from the loss to Texas last week in the Red River (Shootout) Rivalry

Ohio State at Michigan State, 3:30 PM, ABC - Could this be the biggest game in Michigan State history? A win here would make the last game of the season against Penn State absolutely huge for both teams.


Evening

Missouri at Texas, 8:00 PM, ABC - A week after jumping into the #1 spot Texas isn't able to duplicate the same defensive effort and Chase Daniel puts himself back into forefront of the Heisman race

LSU at South Carolina, 8:00 PM, ESPN - LSU also is able to recover on the road after the disaster last week in the Swamp. A win here gives LSU momentum going into a tough home stretch.

Virginia Tech at Boston College, 8:00 PM, ESPN2 - A rematch of last season's ACC championship game that can help Virginia Tech solidify their birth in this years game after beating UNC and GT already this season.

California at Arizona, 10:00 PM, Fox College Sports Pacific - How good is this Cal team? They've got a couple of good wins and a really bad loss at Maryland. Arizona is doing their normal rollercoaster under Stoops.
