You ignore the state of Texas at your own peril, sir. 

Texas State at UTSA should be a fun game if you can find it on tv.

Houston at Rice is one of the most celebrated rivalries in all of ... the Med Center area of Houston. ESPN+ will be blowing up for this one with tens of viewers. 

No love for Oklahoma State at Oregon? I know Okie State sucked last year, but maybe this one is okay?

Boston College at Michigan State isn't sexy, but it interests me. I want to know if either one of these teams is capable of giving bigger conference opponents a challenge this season.

I find OU being favored by 5.5 to be fascinating. 

In most seasons, there are usually a couple of weekends in which a number of upsets occur. At least one of those weekends usually also looks sleepy. Maybe we get a little of that this weekend for our entertainment.

I'm kind of assuming Oregon blows out Okie Lite by a whole lot but I'd love if that game was competitive. Thoughts @oSuJeff97 or @'stache?

I just missed BC @ MSU, I've got some light family ties to both schools. Hoping Sparty can bring back their Dantonio edge and cause a little chaos this year.

#11 Illinois (-2.5) @ Duke - 12/11 ESPN: Bert! Manny Diaz! Durham! This is actually a fun, good matchup of coaches Texas fans have plenty of history with (provided Duke playing with their food against Elon was just a vanilla first game and not a sign of deeper badness).

This line seems wild to me. Duke was tied 10-10 with Elon at halftime, and they really didn't pull away until the 4th quarter. If Illinois is anywhere near the #11 team in the country, they should cover easily.

I asked my Duke fan friend - not sure I buy it, but that's where he's coming from:

Duke ended up dominating the second half, stacking up a few late TDs. My take has been we’ve got a top 25 defense and a top 25 QB which is usually enough to be a top 25 team. I feel like Duke just came out flat to a half empty stadium

Okst QB is out for 5 weeks with a broken bone in his foot.

Iowa @ #16 Iowa State (-3) - 12/11 FOX: El Assico returns! Matt Campbell didn't shit the bed in a major televised rivalry game in Week Zero, but the chance comes to do it again against a powerfully mid Hawkeyes squad.

Iowa views ISU like we do aggy:

I don’t see any path to it being competitive. Our OL is still as bad as I’ve ever seen carried over from last year. Cannot open holes for the RBs or give the new QB enough time to be consistent. The defense looks better but will be in the field nonstop. It’s going to be ugly af.

I thought about that one. Part of just thinks it's really hard to trust Bielema in consecutive seasons. Then I realize that he'll be up against Manny Diaz and my head just wants to explode.

Fehrens can become the conference's all-time winning coach on Saturday. 26 years. One Rose Bowl in his career. Probably should get the Outback Bowl named after him at some point.

Unlike his son, Kirk hasn't had a scoring quota to maintain his job.  Limited success but not longevity.

Yeah, we're stuck with watching the Cowboys getting embarrassed during prime time. Spike to me head 

I expect to have a pretty good time tomorrow night watching that one, pretty much enough to be okay with not having CFB. Do Cowboys fans post a game thread? I might have to check that one out.

You've going to have to put up with a lot of Drew. Would not recommend

Need a week 1 NFL thread for the non-cowboy fans so we don’t have to read Drew or look at Vic’s dumb memes from Facebook

Who is this Drew character? 

I like the non-Cowboy fan NFL thread idea.

After some consideration the best description I can muster up is a Yorkie. Insistent.yappy, but mostly harmless. He annoyed the hell out of Rex which made for some fine entertainment though.

Fuck that.  I'm either gonna PPV some D2 football or find a local high school game.
