[Or week 1, if you're one of those who called last weekend "week zero"]
The college season is in full swing, finally! And yes, it is football time in Tennessee, come Monday night.
Whole lot of games worth looking at.
First, the SEC matches worth paying attention to:
So that's a lot of games to watch already, and we haven't even left the SEC. But there are a few other interesting match-ups, as well:
As for USC-WMU, the latter went 13-1 last year, and only lost by a TD and 2pt conversion to Wisconsin (24-16), beating two lesser B10 teams as well. If there's going to be a monumental Power 5 vs Group of 5 upset this weekend, this could be it. Worth keeping one eye on from time to time, anyway.
The last of the three is, using rankings, the most closely-matched game of the weekend, #21 vs #22. And the coaches are both interesting guys, Dana Holgorsen and Justin Fuente. Could be a great game.
Those are the games I'm going to try to catch at least a bit of. How about you? See anything else that looks intersting?
Go Vols!
