The Blogalicious College Football Games of the Week

Thursday - Florida State at North Carolina State. They say that no parent should outlive their child (so true), but I don't know if there's a similar sentiment for a parent's career outlasting that of their children. Probably not where the Bowdens are concerned. Maybe Bobby winning this week will help to open up the NC State job for one of the boys. Score: Florida State 24, NC State 10

Friday - Hawaii at Boise State. The (Rainbow) Warriors are on here a lot, aren't they? I suppose it helps to have a time zone to yourself. Plan ahead for their appearances here when they host Nevada and Idaho, which should be more competitive than this game. Score: Boise State 55, Hawaii 7

Saturday (early) - Vanderbilt at Georgia. I love the Vandy story so far, but I really can't see them going into Athens and winning, considering they've not done so since 1874. Actually, they won there in 2006, Georgia's "down" year when they went 9-4. Still, as long as the Bulldogs don't try another fan blackout they should be fine. Score: Georgia 37, Vandy 17

Saturday (mid-afternoon) - Toldeo at Northern Illinois. Even you don't consider their win over Michigan an upset given the way the Wolverines are playing this year, you know that there's going to be a let-down, right? Score: Northern Illinois 31, Toledo 2

Saturday (night) - Oregon State at Washington or Mississippi State at Tennessee. The Head Coach Death Watch focuses on Seattle and Knoxville, as Ty Willingham and Phil Fulmer coach for their jobs. Willingham at least has the excuse of Jake Locker still being out, not that it will keep the axe at bay for long. Score: Oregon State 31, Washington 7, Willingham 0; Mississippi State 12, Tennessee 6, Fulmer 0

Last week: 5-2
Season: 24-17
