CFB Week 3 Top 25 matchups (garbage week)

[HerbRedman]

Hoo boy Week 3 is a bad week for top ranked matchups. Only ONE game featuring two Top 25 teams (KSU-Arizona...meh). By contrast, Week 4 potentially has *four* matchups featuring 2 top 20 teams.

***I actually said NU will get little to no hype this week in the national media, but in fairness that was before I saw this schedule. The NU hype train will be moving on the national shows, mainly bc there are zero compelling games on this dogshit schedule. This is clearly the week to schedule your buy games to keep everyone healthy for conference play.

Other than some nice rivalry games, this is an ugly set of games.

Get a good win move up bring on the hype.
Hype fest is best case scenario right now.
They lose, hype goes away and they grind to keep it going.
They win more cruits notice. Gotta embrace it and capitalize

Lists like that are why it's nice to be ranked. Good to be back.

 

[HuskerGarrett]

It just feels so incredibly good to finally be on a list of ranked team games again

Can Wisconsin make it interesting for a half?

 

[Pepe Silvia]

The apple cup and the civil war should be good this year. There's going to be an extra level of hate over how everything went down with the PAC 12

Can Wisconsin make it interesting for a half?

I was thinking that too. I haven't watched Alabama yet this yr.

That is the one non NU game that I'm interested in. That and the Civil War (Oregon-Oregon State).

No, they are fucked.

Go Boilermakers!

 

[SlumpBuster]

I don't think so. Wisconsin is NOT good this year.

 

[Poor_and_Stupid]

I don't think so. Wisconsin is NOT good this year.

I really hope their attempt to modernize follows the same 20 year trajectory that we went on post Solich.

 

[Jim14510]

I don't think so. Wisconsin is NOT good this year.

Alabama hasn't been impressive either.

Still think Alabama wins semi easily.

 

[Ripping Lips]

It would be interesting to see if Coach Bray can upset the ugly Ducks since Oregon has been disappointing so far this year.

Also have #24 BC v #6 Missouri

But watching Bama pound Wisconsin will be fun. I also think we can learn if Indiana is a legit threat or not...

Are punts interesting?

Until proven wrong I consider Indiana to be a legit threat. Cignetti is a really good coach.

Tulane beating OU will be real entertaining

I agree. That game being on the road scares me. I'm not sure if the bye week is good timing there or not....

Still don't know what Bama will show up. Can Wis D line get through as well as USF's did?
