I’m starting to regret my pick of Penn State over Nebraska. On the one hand, they’ve had an incredible distraction, for lack of a better word, this week. On the other, having seen the video of how a number of PSU fans/students acted toward Paterno last night, the players could just as easily turn this into a “Win one for the Gipper!” as if the 2 scenarios are remotely close.

Just out of curiosity and without starting another thread to find out about it, do you regard any of these games as “must see” events?

I have a measure of curiosity about these, as well as the Auburn-Georgia game:

Thursday November 10, 2011

Virginia Tech (8-1, Road: 4-0) 8:00 pm EST
Georgia Tech (7-2, Home: 5-0)

Saturday November 12, 2011

Oklahoma St. (9-0, Road: 4-0) TBA
Texas Tech (5-4, Home: 2-3)

Tennessee (4-5, Road: 0-2) TBA
Arkansas (8-1, Home: 4-0)

TCU (7-2, Road: 3-1) 3:30 pm EST
Boise St. (8-0, Home: 3-0)

Oregon (8-1, Road: 3-0) 8:00 pm EST
Stanford (9-0, Home: 4-0)

The “College Football Belt” is at stake in the GA-Tech/VA-Tech game! :slight_smile:

GT/VPI - Somewhat. I can’t stand VPI, but with Miami’s annual blown chance at an ACC-CG appearance already passed, my interest is lessened.

OSU/TT - Minimal. For some reason, I struggle to get into most Big XII games. Maybe all the scoring by all the teams just turns it into Arena Football for me. Not sure.

UT/Arkansas - Minimal. I don’t like watching UT.

TCU/Boise - High, but I’ll be watching Miami @ FSU, so I’ll miss this. I want TCU to win because I want Boise’s home field winning streak stopped.

Oregon/Stanford - Very High. Once the season started to play out a bit, this became the biggest game of interest for me for the year, a bit ahead of LSU/Bama. I love the Pac12, and this was a good game for 30+ minutes last year.

I’ll watch GT/VT game tomorrow night. Obviously. Apparently no one that voted in the poll above thinks that VT is going to win this game.

And I will probably watch the Oregon/Stanford game.

The other games listed are not must see. IMO.

Here’s a shout-out to Jilaad for being the only one to pick Virginia Tech which has now gained possession of The College Football Belt and is in position to have to defend it against

Thu, Nov 17 North Carolina 8:00 pm
Sat, Nov 26 at Virginia TBA

And perhaps others later on. Their first/only grasp of this mythical honor!
