After 3 weeks we finally have a B1G game that is worthy of the list!

12pm - Penn State at Ohio State
12pm - Air Force at Navy - If you can't get up for the armed forces I don't know you
3:30pm - Tennessee at Alabama - Revenge game for the Tide so Vols fans need to put guards on their trees and stay away from Krystal's Restaurants
7:30pm - Duke at FSU - Both teams are ranked and feels like a trap game for FSU
8pm - Utah at USC

Special Note: Colorado is off so one of our automatic must-see games of the week is not happening so we will give @HammerDown the week off also as I am sure he needs the break.

Overall not a massive week and there are several regional games of note:
- Michigan vs Michigan State - Will be a slaughter
- Virginia at UNC - Oldest rivalry in the south
- Washington State at Oregon - Remember OD was more worried about this game than last week so watch out!
- Clemson at Miami - Should have been a huge game on the calendar at the start of the year but Duke vs FSU overshadows it
- Couple of classic SEC West Games: MSU vs Ark & AU vs Ole Miss

Penn State at Ohio State is the game of the week.
 
I'd rather watch Toledo vs. Miami(Oh) than those SEC West games.

Both games will get at or close to 2mm views and Toledo vs Miami probably won't even do half of that so talk is cheap. Realty is very different than your nasty jealous attitudes.

2 shitty teams playing on ESPN will always get more viewers than anything airing on ESPNU. I'd be surprised if Miss St vs. Arkansas got 2 million though. Over 1.5 would be even surprise me.
 
Rutgers (5-2) at Indiana (2-4)

What is interesting about this game? Here is the rest of Rutgers schedule.

vs Ohio State (6-0)
at Iowa (6-1)
at Penn State (6-0)
vs Maryland (5-2)

ESPN isn't a non-profit there is a reason they pick the teams.

Yeah, I'd put that game on ESPN as well over Toledo/Miami(Oh), because more people will watch. It doesn't make it an interesting, or compelling game though.

So quit your bitching and snide comments.

Is it bitching to suggest I'd rather watch the other game as opposed to those 2 SECW games? Could be a MACCG preview.

Yes because you know you won't be watching Toledo regardless so it's just plain bitching.

If they were the only two games on at the same time, I would definitely be watching the Toledo game. I've watched very little SEC this year, and certainly wouldn't watch one between two crappy teams. With that said, yeah, more people will watch Miss St/Arkansas.
