We’ve stumbled into mid-November, and we’re all presumably still alive. That’s a good thing, right? For most of you reading this, today represents a respite. K-State is idle, so you get to channel-surf to your heart’s content all day long. And this week, that means you could theoretically watch the other two KSUs in action!
For college football in general, however, this weekend marks the beginning of a very important stretch. In D-2, D-3, and the NAIA, this is the final week of the regular season. Tomorrow, they’ll cough up their playoff fields, and we’ll drop a couple of bits of knowledge in that regard before getting into the FBS schedule.
There’s really only two games of vital import to this process on today’s broadcast schedule, both in D-II and both being de jure conference championship games: the State Game in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference, where Kutztown visits undefeated California (PA), and the Northeast-10 title game featuring Assumption and unbeaten Long Island-C.W. Post.
Today’s NAIA game on ESPN3 is only important for one team; our friends from Baldwin City are performing their victory lap around the Heart of America south division. Baker, already at 10-0, will try to wrap up a perfect regular season against a mediocre squad from Evangel. There’s another NAIA team playing on free video today: Cumberland, who once lost 222-0 to Georgia Tech, and who you probably thought didn’t even play football anymore. They’re up against FCS foe East Tennessee State this afternoon.
It’s the penultimate week of regular-season action in FCS, but only one game pits ranked teams against one another. In the Big South, #14 Charleston Southern visits #25 Liberty. It’s a weird hand in the Big South; CSU wins the conference title if they win today and next week at Kennesaw State. If either of those things doesn’t happen, Liberty is the champ.
So what’s up with the big boys today? Glad you asked. The morning window features some big games (Baylor/Oklahoma, WVU/Texas), some rivalry games (Kentucky/Tennessee, South Carolina/Florida), and some high comedy as Rutgers and Michigan State fight it out for last place in the Big Ten East and Iowa State and Kansas see who really deserves last place in the Big 12.
In the early afternoon window, things sort of slow down. There’s the Auburn/Georgia rivalry, and the horrific nightmare that will be attempting to watch Texas Tech and Oklahoma State defend against one another. The real choice for the afternoon may, surprisingly, be Army vs Notre Dame at the Alamodome... or, if you’ve got ESPN3, you can catch what’s very likely the Sun Belt championship game as Appalachian State visits Troy.
Rolling into evening, LSU visits Arkansas and there’s an underrated game between South Florida and Memphis. Shortly after those games begin, USC visits Washington and Minnesota travels to Nebraska; big things are on the line in both cases. As you start to think about sleep, there’s not much to keep you awake, though. The late-night schedule features a slew of games between pretty good teams and... not so good teams. Colorado State/Air Force could be interesting, but otherwise you’re going to have to settle for watching Colorado road-grade Arizona, or the Dread Pirate keelhauling Cal, or San Diego State sacrificing Nevada.
Yeah.
As always, our schedule includes all FBS games, all games televised on nationally-available networks, and all other games which meet our stringent criteria of “showing up somewhere on our Roku”. Enjoy your bye week, relax, partake of some refreshing adult beverages, and go crazy watching whatever you want all day long.
