Top 10 Games To Watch This College Football Season

by Cherie Lampley on August 24th, 2008

If you don’t know by now, I’m a big College Football fan. Big, HUGE fan. And with college football coming back this week you can’t describe my excitement. So I’ve decided to do a list of the top 10 games to watch this season. Now there are many games I could have included on this list and it wasn’t easy but a top 10 list is a top 10 list. Agree or disagree. Leave your list in the comments.

10. Wisconsin @ Fresno State 9/13. Only two scenarios happen here. Wisconsin wins: They just beat a team they should’ve beaten. Wisconsin loses: The Big Ten looks worse and worse by the minute. No pressure.

9.  Missouri vs. Illinois 8/30. This game is more interesting this year. Missouri is a favorite to win the Big 12 and could possibly play in the National Championship. If Illinois wins than last year wasn’t a fluke and Illinois will have truly arrived and get some respect in the win column for the Big Ten.

8.  USF @ WVU 12/6. The game that could decide who wins the Big East. That is if neither of them stumble. If so, remove this game, move the ones behind it up and insert whatever you like.

7.  Kansas @ Oklahoma 10/18. Kansas didn’t really play anyone until they played and lost to Missouri last year. But they did beat VA Tech in the bowl game. This year they have to play Oklahoma on the road. Will they be able to handle it?

6.  Ohio State @ Wisconsin 10/4. If the Buckeyes get past USC, many think that they would be on cruise control to play for the national championship. Don’t take an away game at Wisconsin at a 8 pm start time too lightly. Camp Randall is no joke.

5.  Georgia @ Arizona State 9/20. Georgia and their crazy schedule. An away game out west could help determine how their season goes.

4.  LSU @ Florida 10/11. Did anyone miss this game last year? Well, I did…at least some of it. The Buckeyes were on. But they were playing Minnesota so I didn’t miss much. A must see SEC game here. Some think Florida will win the SEC this year. And maybe even make it back to the championship game?

3.  Georgia @ LSU 10/25. Another huge test for the Bulldogs. They get no rest this year. Can they seriously go through the SEC undefeated?

2.  Ohio State @ USC 9/13. This game #2? I know I was surprised myself. Obviously the biggest game early on in the season and a statement game for the Buckeyes. Theirs as well as the Big Tens rep is at stake here. Winner could decide who plays for the national championship. If they don’t slip up that is.

1.  Georgia vs. Florida 11/1. Why this game #1? The game should decide who will win the SEC East. And it’s the biggest cocktail party. And the Bulldogs danced in the end zone last year. And if Georgia and Florida are really as good as people think they and they make it through their schedule with no more than one loss, this game will most likely decide who will play for the national championship.
