Other games exist this weekend!

One would think this site was run by a bunch of SEC homers! In fact it was created and maintained by an FSU fan. Who would'a known?

Here are some good games, in addition to the over hyped top 10 match of the week.

#3 Georgia at Arizona State. After beating a couple of outmatched teams, though C. Michigan won the MAC last year, Georgia looked flat against South Carolina. This week they head west of Texas for the first time in, well you tell me. Arizona State took an unexpected (though delightful) shot last week knocking them out of the top 25. One could suspect that they were looking ahead to this one and the loss will only add fuel to their fire.

Troy at #13 Ohio State. Is Ohio State as bad as USC made them look? Ohio, who lost to Wyoming, hung with them for 3 quarters. Troy is undefeated thanks in large part to a postponed game with LSU. This could be the knockout punch for "The Ohio State University".

Boise State at #17 Oregon. Oregon played to overtime against Purdue but all three of these programs are otherwise untested. With the PAC 10's performance last week this is a good opportunity to regain some lost credibility for the conference. On the other hand, the Fresno State loss last week puts Boise State in a spot where a win this week makes them the leader of the WAC. This game will definitely not end 3-2.

#18 Wake Forest at #24 FSU. Both teams are undefeated but have yet to play a solid team, though Wake Forest at least has played FBS teams. A two loss win over Mississippi is the best win either team has to date. The winner of this game takes an early lead in the ACC race, the only chance either has of a BCS bowl.

#20 Utah at Air Force. Utah has yet to put together a solid game without costly mistakes. They, like Air Force, have also yet to lose. Utah's best win this year could have been over UNLV, though Michigan gets the attention. Air Force's best game was against Houston. Though favored, Utah has had problems with the option attack of Air Force in the past. Indeed they have had problems with anyones option attack, even Michigan used it twice and got 7 yards each time. This game could be a lot closer than the rankings make it appear.
