The Blogalicious College Football Games of the Week

Thursday - North Carolina at Rutgers. I think the Scarlet Knights are happy this is North Carolina rather than East Carolina, though the ways things are going they may have preferred South Carolina. Western Carolina gets no consideration based on lack of directional conformity. Sadly, this digression will likely be more entertaining than this game, which at a different time of year would be known as the Armed Forces Bowl. Score: Rutgers 17, UNC 3

Friday - Kansas at South Florida. Could ESPN perhaps switch this game with Thursday's game? Because I won't be home Friday night and would much rather watch this, even though Kansas is likely to demonstrate to South Florida why people think the Big East is a joke. Score: Kansas 37, USF 10

Saturday (early) - Washington State at Baylor. If nothing else, this guarantees that one of these teams will have a win over a D1 opponent this season. Not so fast, Baylor. Score: Washington State 7, Baylor -2

Saturday (mid-afternoon) - Georgia Tech at Virginia Tech. Winner here takes on the winner of Cal Tech-MIT for the Golden Protractor. Score: Virginia Tech 32pi/7, Georgia Tech 3!

Saturday (night) - Oklahoma at Washington. Jake Locker leads the Huskies to a furious comeback, only to get called for two celebration penalties when he smiles and pats the back of his center after a touchdown. The 50 yard extra point hits both uprights and the crossbar - twice - before the ball falls into the end zone. Score: Oklahoma 31, Washington 30

Last week: 3-2
Season: 4-6
