Being every team's Super Bowl can get exhausting, but I'm sure our KSU Cats will be at least looking forward to getting on the field again after this bye week we have coming up.  :thumbs:

College Gameday is in South Bend this weekend

College Gameday has done games in the SEC that have shown on CBS (LSU Alabama, part 1 last year)

The only reason this is even weird this year is this is the first year FOX broadcast has taken primetime slots for College Football games.

Ratings were pretty bad for the OU/KSU game and previous big Fox games compared to the big boys. Not sure how last weekend went yet.

The ratting are crap right now. People are use to ABC or CBS for football games at primetime. FOX is just skipped over most of the time. Will take a year or 2 for it to get into people's rotations.

I don't mind Andrews so much as Harrington. He is terrible. Trying to make jokes that by anyone's definition are never funny and Eddie George has to pretend to laugh when inside his head he just wants to punch Joey in the face.

I think you would be surprised how often this happens in the high pop areas of the northeast and in major cities of people with no team alignment. People also don't just stay on one game, they rotate thru out the day during halftime and commercials. FX and FOX carrying games are just not getting pickup by these fans.

Also the fact that Notre Dame was the first school to ever play 2 games at the same time also probably drew in some viewers.

TTU helped screw up our Undefeated streak last year, when they beat OU so why not now.

West Virginia is coming off one of their biggest road wins in history.  They are looking at a nationally televised game with two top 5 teams in Morgantown next week.  Their QB is the runaway leader for the Heisman.

But this week they have to travel to the armpit of west Texas and face a team that didn't even make a bowl game last year.

The Vegas line is only WVU -4.5. 

If Tech wins, it's not much of an upset.

WVU has been playing in the Big East.  They are not used to playing a "bad" team that is as good as Tech, and they have to go on the road to do it, right after beating Texas, and right before playing a top 5 K-State.  I could see that upset happening.  I would rather they win big, and they probably will, but I could see it happening.

This talking point has been beaten to death, and I am so sick of it. WV looks focused on dominating their conference. Their HC knows Lubbock. I don't see a let down coming. If there is one, maybe after they play OU, but that will have nothing to do with them being in a better conference, and everything to do with their having played 3 top 10 teams in one season. That type of schedule is conducive to a let down for any team. If Alabama played Florida, SC, and LSU within about a month span, the next opponent would not be getting Alabama at 100%.

On Saturdays where they only show 1 game, they put it at 6:50 pm cst so it can be in primetime.  On days where they have a doubleheader, the first game is at 2:00 pm cst, then they have a bridge show, then the second game is at 6:00 pm cst so they don't lose those viewers and have to fill in an additional 50 minutes.

On 10/20, they will have Stanford/Cal at 2:00pm cst, then the bridge show, then the KSU/WVU game at 6:00pm cst.

I think everybody would agree the 4 best teams in the conference are (in no particular order) KSU, WVU, UT, OU

so after they all play each other, we will know, but OU is the not the right answer at this point.

OU has played 1 of the other 3 best teams, at home, and lost.
UT has played 1 of the other 3 best teams, at home, and lost.
KSU has played 1 of the other 3 best teams, on the road, and won.
WVU has played 1 of the other 3 best teams, on the road, and won.
