I-A Game of the Week - WEEK ONE

[89Hen]

Same as the other, your complaints about game selection will be ignored by the management.

[Ibanez]

Easy call for this week...GO FIGHTING IRISH!

[dbackjon]

OSU for the win!!

BuckBeavers!

[AshevilleApp]

Go Blue!

[CAA Flagship]

The correct answer is Wash-Auburn, but I have no interest in it (have they ever faced each other during the regular season?).

I'd rather watch Michigan-ND (although I prefer it be on a cloudy afternoon in late October on real grass)

[GannonFan]

Michigan/Notre Dame is almost always going to be the winner, and because they're both decent this year (both top 20, could both be top 10) then it's the winner this week. Best two fight songs in college football, all the pageantry, great venues (better this year being at Notre Dame, but that's just nit-picking). Go Irish!

If it's a popularity contest? Yes. If you look at it rationally? No. UDub and Auburn is more likely to impact the BCS championship race.

How many TD's is Ohio St going to win by?

Not really. Auburn can survive a week 1 loss with the SEC schedule. Washington can't because of the PAC-12.

Yeah, Ohio State will win by an Urban mile.

I disagree. UDub and Auburn are both top 10 teams who at this point in time have a greater likelihood of playing the BCS playoff. As you mentioned UDub needs a win to stay in contention. A win could also give them some confidence for a potential showdown with an SEC foe in the playoff. Auburn doesn't need a win but they have some tough SEC road games so losing this one would reduce their margin to just one more loss. They also finished the 2017 season with 2 straight losses at Mercedes, losing to UDub would be 3 straight.

Popularity matters.

I’ll let my sons vote in this one.

[SuperHornet]

Have there been any FCS upsets yet? Or have those games been for all intents and purposes been banned?

[SunCoastBlueHen]

USF/GT has had 9 lead changes so far. I doubt there will be a more entertaining game.

I actually watched a lot of this game. That USF QB looked great.

Speaking of QB's that look pretty good, how about this kid at Ball State?

I didn't get to watch any of the ND/Ball St. game, but you are the second person I saw that called out the Ball St. QB performance. His stats weren't great, what did he do to impress?

The kid (if you can call a guy with a wife and kid a "kid") for USF is an interesting story. Five star recruit out of HS, got beat out by Hurts for the starting job at 'bama. Transferred to ASU and didn't get the starting job there, so he transferred to USF. The two frosh receivers they have in Tampa look outstanding.

I only watched the first half. He was very poised and threw a really nice ball.
