What a great day for college football on Saturday. There are meaningful games all over the land with BCS implications galore.
Oklahoma and Texas will battle in the Red River Shootout on Saturday at 12 Noon EST at the Cotton Bowl. Reigning Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford will be back at the helm for Okalahoma (3-2, #20) after suffering an injury in the 1st game of the season. Heisman Trophy hopeful Colt McCoy leads the Texas Longhorns attack. At 5-0 ranked 3rd in the country, Texas controls its own destiny. If they win out, Texas will play for the national championship in the BCS Championship Game at the end of the year.
Also at 12 Noon EST is a road test for the #11 Iowa Hawkeyes (6-0) at Wisconsin in Madison. Iowa has its sights set on a BCS bowl game and a tough win on the road will go a long way for the Hawkeyes.
And at 3:30 EST, the USC Trojans will invade South Bend, Indiana to take on the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. USC still has hopes of winning a national championship despite losing a few weeks ago at Washington. The Trojans are still 4-1 and ranked 6th in the country and have one of the most formidable defenses in the land. Jimmy Clausen leads the Irish passing attack and has Notre Dame on the right track. With a 4-1 record and 25th ranking, the Irish are poised to pull off the upset on their home turf. USC Has had it’s way with the Irish during the last decade, so it will surely be a hard-fought battle in the trenches all day long.
