Post by: ELA on July 02, 2018, 05:04:26 PM: 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.

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.

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

Post by: 847badgerfan on July 05, 2018, 02:39:46 PM: I'm sure they could be. They did win 4 last year. Schedule this season is a bitch for them.
