The Blogalicious College Football Games of the Week

Wednesday - Middle Tennessee State at Louisiana-Lafayette. The winner of this critical Sun Belt match-up goes to 6-6 and becomes bowl eligible. How the winner actually winds up in a bowl game is the question, though I think the answer involves a plague of locusts. Score: Louisiana-Lafayette 13, MTSU 10

Thursday - Louisville at Rutgers. Louisville, the coldest team in the Big East (riding a four game losing streak) gets to visit Rutgers to play a team that's on a five game winning-streak (I'd call them the hottest team in the league, but hotness is kind of a relative term where the Big East is concerned). This will not end well for the Cardinals. Score: Rutgers 37, Louisville 17

Friday - Ball State v. Buffalo (at Ford Field, Detroit). Ball State is looking to run the table, while Buffalo reaps the reward of their turn-around from being one of the worst teams in all of division I football. Either way, it's another win in Detroit for a team from outside of Michigan, and I expect someone will find a way to pin the loss on the Lions. Score: Ball State 41, Buffalo 7, Lions 2

Saturday (early) - Navy v. Army (at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia). A win by the Middies will give them their sixth straight Commander in Chief's trophy, tying the record for consecutive wins that Air Force set from 1997-2002. Expect the trophy to be back in its case in Bancroft Hall by noon on Sunday. Score: Navy 31, Army 3

Saturday (mid-afternoon) - North Alabama at Northwest Missouri State. Always willing to suck up to commenters, let's talk D2 football. Northwest Missouri has been to the title game in each of the last three seasons, and looks to make it four when they take on North Alabama. Of course, they've lost each of those title games, but they'll worry about that when the time comes, I'm sure. Score: Northwest Missouri 52, North Alabama 44

Saturday (night) - Missouri v. Oklahoma (at Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City). With the loser to play the Chiefs to see if they get relegated. Score: Oklahoma 37, Missouri 31; Missouri 52, Chiefs 2

Last week: 5-2
Season: 59-37
