This Weekend in College Football: Week 11

As usual, all times Eastern and all predictions wrong.

Noon:

Brigham Young @ Texas Tech (ABC): This is the game of the year in the Big 12, so naturally it kicks off at 11am local time. Expect these two to meet again, though. For now, I like the Red Raiders at home.
Indiana @ Pennsylvania State (FOX): I expect Indiana to continue to do Indiana things here.
Georgia @ Mississippi State (ESPN): I expect Georgia to continue to do Georgia things here.
James Madison @ Marshall (ESPN2): JMU.
Colorado @ West Virginia (TNT): WVU.
Southern Mississippi @ Arkansas State (ESPNU): Southern Miss is… back apparently? I like them here at least.
Southern Methodist @ Boston College (ACCN): Ponies.
Temple @ Army (CBSS): Army?

1:00:

Ohio State @ Purdue (BTN): Purdue is better than anyone expected… but they’re probably still going to go 0-fer in the Big Ten. C’est la vie.
The Citadel @ Mississippi (SECN+)
Bowling Green @ Eastern Michigan (ESPN+)
Missouri State @ Liberty (ESPN+)

2:30: Maryland @ Rutgers (FS1): Maryland’s slow-moving collapse figures to continue.

3:00:

3:30:

Texas A&M @ Missouri (ABC): Mizzou is good, but clearly a step below the SEC elite this season. Which means I isn’t like their chances here.
Oregon @ Iowa (CBS): Iowa will do everything they can to drag the Ducks into the mud. I think they’ll be able to figure it out but I won’t be surprised if the Hawkeyes notch their best B1G win in a while here.
Iowa State @ Texas Christian (FOX): TCU?
Syracuse @ Miami (ESPN): I don’t even know what to say about the Canes at this point, well, other than I don’t think they’ll lose here.
Kansas @ Arizona (ESPN2): Zona?
Duke @ Connecticut (CBSS): [insert basketball season joke here] Duke all the way here.

4:00:

Auburn @ Vanderbilt (SECN): Hugh Freeze won’t lose to Diego Pavia for the fourth year in a row because he got fired on Sunday.
Georgia State @ Coastal Carolina (ESPN+)
Kennesaw State @ New Mexico State (ESPN+)

4:30:

Stanford @ North Carolina (The CW): Bill figures to get his second ACC win.
Washington @ Wisconsin (BTN): It’s so dire in Camp Randall right now, and they announced this week that they’ll retain Luke Fickell. UDub should win easily in front of this dis-spirited team and crowd.
Texas State @ Louisiana (ESPN+)

6:00: Air Force @ San Jose State (FS1): Spartans.

7:00:

Wake Forest @ Virginia (ESPN): Now that we finally got got, UVA is now the ACC’s most “getting away with it team”. Wake is good enough to get them, and I think they will.
California @ Louisville (ESPN2): Louisville, ACC standard bearer? It’s more likely than you think.
Florida State @ Clemson (ACCN): It’s insult to injury that the two most dominant ACC teams from like 2014 to 2022 are afterthoughts on the ACC Network. Both of these teams need to really do some deep introspection in the off-season. As for this game, Clemson I guess?

7:30:

Louisiana State @ Alabama (ABC): Bama all the way here.
Navy @ Notre Dame (NBC): It’s a classic rivalry, but Navy doesn’t stand a chance.
Florida @ Kentucky (SECN): This game, oh my god. Florida will win. Outside of that, literally anything could happen.
Nevada @ Utah State (CBSS):. Aggies.

9:00: Nebraska @ California-Los Angeles (FOX): Huskers?

9:30: Nevada-Las Vegas @ Colorado State (FS1): UNLV.

10:00: Sam Houston State @ Oregon State (The CW): I think the Beavers have this one.

11:00: San Diego State @ Hawaii (Spectrum)
