College Football 2013 Week 5

Games of interest for me, a little bit bigger of a week this week. Iowa State-Tulsa is my main focus tomorrow night, but I'll also check out Virginia Tech-Georgia Tech during commercials and halftime. Friday night, it'll only be the second half, but I'll be flipping Utah State-San Jose State on the instant I get in the door from work.

Saturday, I doubt I'll see any of the noon games, but if I somehow end up not going to sleep after getting home from work Saturday morning, I'll probably flip through all three. Navy will be my main focus come 2pm, checking out LSU-Georgia, Oklahoma-Notre Dame, UTEP-Colorado State and Army-Louisiana Tech during the second half commercial breaks.

Not sure what I'll focus on come the evening games, may just flip around between Ole Miss-Alabama (only if Ole Miss is actually competitive), Arizona-Washington, check out some Ivy League action between Brown and Harvard and then Air Force-Nevada. Most likely, I may end up settling on Wisconsin-Ohio State at 8pm. Then the nightcap, I'm most interested by Stanford-Washington State and Southern Miss-Boise State, but may check and see now and then how USC-Arizona State is going. Good thing is all three games are on channels 1301-1303 on my cable box, so I can just jump up and down, back and forth at will.

Well we get to find out where we stand this week. Really nervous about this one but hopefully Stoops will remind the players of the embarrassment in Norman last year.

:fp:

Why is WVU on national TV? We're gonna get utterly decimated (easily 70-0).

2013 season is almost halfway over and I haven't enjoyed a single second of it. :smh:

Last money game. Then we can get back to the task of losing to mediocre-to-inferior competition.

Should be interesting, but this isn't the same ND team that won in Norman last year. The defense is not even close.

I'm using Tapatalk 2 and the Cleveland Browns STILL suck.

where do you get this list from anyway ?

meh. penn state hasnt been relevant in years. USC is just 2 years removed from winning the south. we're still a top name in college football. we just need a different HC.

:D what ever? Whether Penn State is relevant to you is irrelevant to me. :D

USC wasn't relevant for 20 years till they got the poodle to coach there and then became irrelevant once he left for fishy reasons.
a coaching change has benefited Penn State and UCLA. No guarantee it will benefit USC or come close to any National championship any time soon.

and the NCAA likes Penn State better than USC :P in light of recent events. ( I know that doesn't matter , everyone hates the ncaa and they will be trash soon enough anyway LOL )

ultimately, I don't hate USC. Besides with no pro team, gotta have some major football to go see somewhere and 2 teams is better than one not so far away

UCF is pretty decent this year

outscored 50-14 in the funky new helmets

Thanks on behalf of all Oklahoma fans on beating the pokes.

OU getting all the breaks but OU needs to stop the run and need to run the ball a bit more in the second half.

Pretty sure I said OU needs to stop the run. Why did you not listen Stoops brothers?

Defense optional in :Georgia: v. :LSU: game.
