Good golly, it's good to have Ohio State football back in my life. That Maryland game feels like it happened in 2013. Please, Gene Smith, NEVER AGAIN. I almost had to enter rehab. (Ohio State kicks off against Rutgers at 3:30 on ABC.)
Today's slate is slim on #bangers, but the ones on tap look tasty. Here are some of the games on my radar:
| Time (ET PM) | Matchup | Favorite | TV | Internet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12:00 | No. 14 KANSAS STATE at No. 11 OKLAHOMA | OKLA (-7) | ESPN | WatchESPN |
| 3:30 | No. 21 TEXAS A&M at No. 7 ALABAMA | BAMA (-13½) | CBS | CBS Sports |
| 4:00 | No. 15 OKLAHOMA STATE at No. 12 TCU | TCU (-10) | FOXSP1 | Fox Sports GO |
| 8:00 | No. 5 NOTRE DAME at No. 2 FLORIDA STATE | FSU (-9½) | ABC | Watch ESPN |
| 10:30 | No. 23 STANFORD at No. 17 ARIZONA STATE | STAN (-3½) | ESPN | Watch ESPN |
The name of the game is chaos, gentlemen and gentleladies.
For Ohio State-to-the-playoff interests, I'm cheering for Kansas State, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State, and Florida State.
You might say, "why not cheer for Notre Dame? They're ranked higher." If I ever cheer for Notre Dame: assume I am dead and an alien is using my corpse as a disguise, a la Edgar the Bug in Men in Black.
RUTGERS FILE DUMP. Here's everything you need from 11W to get your mind right for this Rutgers banger:
- The official Rutgers game trailer.
- Denny Mayo dips back into the writing game: On Coming Home.
- Maks' Rutgers preview.
- Kyle Jones scouted Rutgers.
- Urban Meyer is looking to start fast and stop Gary Nova.
- Walt crushed the game poster (again).
R U NOT ENTERTAINED!?!? Here are some more #gamedayreads:
- NJ.com's all-access look at Ohio State's program.
- Rod Smith finds his niche.
- For victory, OSU will need to contain Gary Nova (easier said than done).
- Rutgers wide receive Leonte Carroo is a name you'll hear a lot today.
- Inside Rutgers' sideline operation.
PERTINENT HEISENBERG. Ohio State will never ramp down; they're just getting started. NOTHING STOPS THIS TRAIN!!!!
Not even you, Rutgers, not even you.
THOSE WMDs. Love Browns fans... It's one of nature's greatest mysteries, Calvin... Interactive graphic shows if your team's fumble luck has been cruel or kind... Behold: the Ramen Noodle Burger at the S.C. fair... Lmao, Will Muschamp literally put Florida in a dump truck (again)... Carlos Boozer: still the worst... Paging Abe Froman: A Trip Through Coal Country... MARION, STAND UP.
