The last couple Saturdays have been really busy for me, so I haven't had the opportunity to sit down and watch some college ball for some time, although I have kept an interested eye on the scoreboard, so I still have a pretty good idea of what is going on.

The SEC is canabalizing itself once again - since it is the best conference in all the land that paradoxically makes it damn near impossible for it to produce a national champion because of how difficult it is for these teams to be facing each other week in and week out. It's one more reason college ball absolutely needs a damn playoff and until it gets one, there is no sense in talking seriously about any "National Champion". As far as I am concerned, the best team in the country is whoever comes out of that conference.

Anyway, the games I'm looking forward to on Saturday include:

12:00 - Texas vs. Nebraska - True, these are two overrated and overhyped schools in the country's most overrated and overhyped conference, but it is an important game in the context of that conference, as these two teams are the best (or least horrible) teams in their respective divisions and this could be a preview of the Big 12 Title Game. Also, there ain't shit else on at noon on Saturday (this week's slate of games is, unfortunately, very week), so I'll be watching.

3:00 - South Carolina vs. Vanderbilt - Ok, so Vanderbilt's win over Georgia was probably the fluke by which all other flukes should be judged, but just in case I got this one on my list.

3:30 - Boston College vs. Florida State - Like the SEC, the ACC has purged itself of all potential National Championship contenders (although unlike the SEC, the ACC really had no schools worthy of such consideration), making the conference a wide open one. BC beat Clemson, and Clemson beat FSU, so this is a must win game for the Seminoles to get the three powerhouses back to all square. If the Eagles win, they can seemingly coast to the title game.

Iowa vs. Michigan - The Wolverines should win easily, but Iowa is a good team so an upset is possible.

Alabama vs. Tennessee - As far as interdivisional rivalries in the SEC go, this is probaly tops, because the two schools are not far apart at all. So even though they only play each other every other year, there is bad blood here. It's always entertaining when they get together, and Saturday should be no exception; my game of the week.

5:45 - Rutgers vs. Pittsburgh - The little team that could keeps right on chuggin', but this may be their hardest date yet. Pitt was undefeated until a couple weeks ago, and if the Scarlet Knights are still undefeated after this week, they just might deserve that top 20 ranking.

7:45 - Georgia Tech vs. Clemson - I think this match-up is interdivisional, but the ACC's divisional structure is so whacked that I'm not sure. Either way, both teams are fighting for a spot in the ACC title game, and neither can afford losses. Like Texas/Nebraska, this is a potential Conference Title Game preview.
