So I'm scrapping the college football top 10 this year, never quite liked the way it worked out. Instead, you get:

BLOGALICIOUS' GAMES OF THE WEEK

Thursday - UTEP at Buffalo. I know almost nothing about this game, and if I were more of a wag I'd make a joke about the Miners defense's approach in containing Trent Edwards. But I do have a feeling that whoever wins this game will wind up playing in the New Mexico Bowl. Bank on it. Score: UTEP 9, Buffalo 5

Friday - SMU at Rice. Hey, it was this or Temple-Army, a game where it's quite possible that neither team will cross into opposition territory in the first half. Either way, it looks like a great night for baseball. Score: SMU 12, Rice 7

Saturday - James Madison at Duke. This game is second to App State-LSU as far as how happy a potential 1-AA win would make me. But as I don't see App State striking twice, I'll go with the Dukes beating Duke. See, there's more of them! Score: JMU 45, Duke 2

Sunday - Colorado State at Colorado. All the security in Denver this week will make its way to Boulder. Take the sharpshooters and the points. Score: Colorado State Police 42, Colorado 21, CSU 17

Monday - Tennessee at UCLA. Because opening the season in California worked out so well for the Vols last season. Score: Tennessee 21 UCLA 3

"Because opening the season in California worked out so well for the Vols last season."

And ultimately for the Bears, too.

Actually, the opener worked out very nicely for Cal last season. They just needed to call things after the game ended. Instead they played their conference schedule and look how that went.

In any case, I am looking forward to the Vols opening next season at the College of the Redwoods.
