Open Game Thread: College Football Week One

After last summer, I didn't think it was possible to have a worse offseason, but 2011 proved me wrong. But we can put all that behind us now, as college football gets started in earnest today.

We've already had a worthy appetizer, as Baylor knocked off Texas Christian in a thriller last night. I don't know about you, but my personal "Robert Griffin III Fear Meter" spiked last night.

The Big 12 slate is below. For a thorough rundown of national games of interest, check out Sean Keeley's College Football Buffet. The game thread for K-State's game will be posted one hour before kickoff.
