The Noon games could actually be sneaky good with a some curious road trips for ranked teams.  The night games you flip back and forth as the two Texas schools look to make big home field stands.  It's the mid-afternoon games that are very lacking.  Even Auburn-LSU doesn't do a ton for me.

Seems like each year this gets a lot of Week 1 responses, then it trails off, and I quit by like Week 4 or 5

Well, by week 4 or 5 we're into mostly conference matchups, so while some may be "big" and some less so, there's much less to discuss.

I didn't even notice the week two thread. 

USC and OSU will be once again playing simultaneously in Texas, only not against each other this time around.

I hope BYU is better this year, but it doesn't seem probable.

I'm sure they could be. They did win 4 last year. Schedule this season is a bitch for them.
