Week 8 Viewer's Guide

Morning Games – Kickoff at 9AM PT

Northwestern vs Michigan St. - ESPN

Ohio St. vs Purdue – Big Ten Network

West Virginia vs Syracuse – ESPN2

Navy vs Notre Dame - CBS

Texas vs Iowa St. - FSN

Minnesota vs Penn St. - ESPNU

Finally we have a decent game in this slot. The Northwestern/Michigan St. game has some legit intrigue as Northwestern ended Iowa's perfect season on the road last season and Michigan St. has some history of gacks in games like this. Also, there is a possibility of other games being close in this segment, notably offenseless West Virginia against Syracuse and the Navy/Notre Dame tilt.

Afternoon Games – Kickoff at 1230 PM PT

Auburn vs LSU – CBS

Iowa vs Wisconsin – ABC/ESPN

Oklahoma St. vs Nebraska – ABC Regional/ESPN Gameplan

Cal vs Arizona St. - FSN

Clemson vs Georgia Tech - ABC/ESPN

Louisville vs Connecticut – ESPNU

The top three games are great though there is something worrisome in this slot. CBS has a morning game meaning there could be some overrun and people missing the beginning of the Auburn/LSU game. If that happens, at least there are other games to keep us occupied that are decent.

Primetime Games – Kickoff between 4-5 PM PT

Missouri vs Oklahoma – ABC

Miami vs North Carolina – ESPN2

Tennessee vs Alabama – ESPN

TCU vs Air Force – CBS College Sports

Kansas vs Texas A&M – FSN

The Missouri/Oklahoma tilt is by far the best in this timeslot. Hopefully the Stoops hex over Missouri doesn't continue. With that said, if that is a blowout, we should all order the UFC fight starting at 7PM PT. The afternoon segment is better again.

Late night Games – Games starting anytime after the Primetime Games Start

Arizona vs Washington – ESPN

Only one game and it should be good, especially with Matt Scott in for injured Arizona quarterback Nick Foles. It probably won't be the high scoring shootout people expect from their late night west coast games, but it will still be close.
