Honestly, there’s not many. The most intriguing matchups I see are Oregon at UCLA and Tennessee at Alabama.
Wake Forest is P5.
I agree. Coastal and App should be the game pending any upsets this week. Would be a beautiful setting up in Boone this time of year too. And these two programs deserve some national recognition during a 'down week'. Shame they are already scheduled for a mid-week showdown.
Oh, no! What will Pitt do with one less pair of Zubaz in the stands? I guess it does make it easier to sneak in your store brand pops.
App lost to Miami and Coastal barely beat Buffalo. Curious why the are scheduling App-Louisiana tonight on a Tuesday in MLB playoff season as well.
I hear ya on App, but that was a bit before the wheels came off of the season for Miami. They have been a pretty strong program for several years now. For me, in a week without a great matchup, I like to see GameDay at unique locations. I grow tired of the same old 10-15 schools and matchups being showcased.
I never had Zubaz, Did you? I'm going either way, I'd just prefer to go to the game at 3:30pm, I will probably be wearing grey cargo sweatpants and a Pitt hoodie, blue with yellow script, is that weird? I used to sneak 12 oz beers back in the day, But not for at least 20 years. I think I snuck a few in to a Steelers/Bengals game at 3 Rivers back around 2000. Don't you have preferences? I love 3-4 PM kickoff.
I like the night kickoff for tailgating. You can get some stuff done in the morning and a dinner tailgate is much better than breakfast (noon start) or lunch (3:30).
There are millions of people I'm sure who never watch baseball, but would watch ANY football game over MLB playoffs. ESPN can pick up that kind of sports fan.
If I'm going to a football game, I never care about getting "anything else done" that day, especially coming from out of town, I like 3:30pm, start tailgate between 12-1pm, game ends around 8pm, go out to dinner after, then maybe a bar or 2.
THIS! First of all, we need to take care of business.
Ok, I thought they usually do night games? I went to a game, Pitt/VT in 2003, that was a Game Day game
There is no really big FCS matchups either. The best is like #9 Weber St vs #18 Montana State or #24 North Dakota at #4 Southern illinois.
Aha. Army and Wake? Yeah, if Army wins....that looks like a potential slam dunk. Plus an easy jet from West Point to Pittsburgh.
Have they ever done a game broadcast on CBS sportsnet though? They could also do Air Force and SDSU, but same thing with CBS sportsnet.
Yeah and it is a noon game. I am sorry, if Pitt/Clemson both win out this weekend, our game makes as much sense both ramifications/interest wise as it does logistic wise.
I could see them going to #1 Sam Houston State (defending national champ) hosting #24 Jacksonville State (the team that beat FSU) over Pitt-Clemson. There are other options too like #8 James Madison vs. #14 Delaware. If ESPN wants to go FCS that weekend, they can find a game, but my guess is that they would give Sam Houston State the nod.
GameDay is terrible with a noon game. I think the last two weeks has had the set in the stadium and there's zero atmosphere for the show. Defeats the purpose for going on the road. Then again, they've done too many neutral site games this year as well. The show used to be about being on campus.
Depends, and when I say "Depends" I mean "Depends" on bathroom accessibility for Lee Corso..
