You know this is a weak weekend for big games when the discussion centers around revenge -- USC planning to take things out on Stanford for last year, media generated pressure on Charlie Weis and Notre Dame to not lose to Navy, the fighting Neuheisals of UCLA going to Washington so everyone can rehash the mess he left the Huskies, and of course Steve Spurrier bringing his Gamecocks to the Swamp.
Look, here's how you know how weak the slate is. If you watched the ESPN promos for college football this week, they went with the generic -- simply promoting college football and excitement. There was no plugging the actual games, other than at the very end when they disclosed the primetime choice of BC-FSU or Oklahoma St.-Colorado. Wheeeeee.
Still there are some good potential games out there; BYU-Air Force, Cal-Oregon St., UNC-Maryland and Arizona-Oregon seem like the best of the crop today.
So, despite the poor sales job, stop by and chat. We'll be live-blogging around 12 PM EST.

I like today's slate of games. I was getting tired of weekly Big 12 "showdowns". Maybe I was the only one, but the Texas-Oklahoma game bored me to tears. Frankly the playing style in the Big 12 is boring.
