The Blogalicious College Football Games of the Week
Tuesday - Ball State at Miami (Ohio). Second straight Tuesday night game for the RedHawks, third straight loss. Score: Ball State 37, Miami (Ohio) 3
Wednesday - Central Michigan at Northern Illinois. A match-up fraught with MAC division title implications, or at least as fraught as anything involving the MAC can be that didn't involve Randy Moss' tenure at Marshall (I know, they weren't in the MAC at the time, go with me here, I have nothing). A win here and the Chippewas play for the MAC West title against Ball State next Wednesday. Nothing like a relatively important college football game on a Wednesday. Score: Central Michigan 31, Northern Illinois 17
Thursday - Virginia Tech at Miami. The winner here keeps pace with North Carolina in the ACC Coastal division. That sentence tells you everything you need to know about the sort of year the ACC is having. Score: Virginia Tech 13, Miami 12
Friday - Cincinnati at Louisville. Speaking of conferences that no one wants to win, this match-up appears to have significant Big East implications, but the way everyone is playing you could have a five way tie at 4-3. The Orange Bowl must be looking forward to another ACC-Big East showdown. Score: Cincinnati 24, Louisville 20
Saturday (early) - Northwestern at Michigan. Northwestern doesn't fare well against Michigan. They've not beaten the Wovlerines since 2000, and haven't won in Ann Arbor since 1995 (and before that? 1959!). On the plus side, Michigan hasn't been this bad since LBJ was in office, so if there was a time to chalk up a win, it's now. Score: Northwestern 17, Michigan 13
Saturday (mid-afternoon) - Boise State at Idaho. It's games like this that'll keep the Broncos out of the BCS, which is unfortunate give that they're more fun to watch than any team in the ACC or Big East. And while she's not personally responsible for this one, Idaho alum Sarah Palin gets to be connected to her second blowout in ten days. Score: Boise State 61, Idaho 2
Saturday (night) - Tulsa at Houston. Without any Texas Tech to liven up our screens, Tulsa is your next best bet for offense, as they lead the nation with a 52 points per game average. It'll pay the Golden Hurricane to be wary, as the last time Houston played a team ranked 23rd in the nation they won, besting East Carolina 41-24. I don't expect a repeat. Score: Tulsa 47, Houston 30
Last week: 4-3
Season: 44-29

You know, there's another reader of this blog who saw his his beloved alma mater beat Northwestern during his four years there. How bad is that? (OK, there was a national championship in there, but still).
Excuse me, that should read "never beat Northwestern".
