Key Games To Watch This Season

**NKySteeler** · 07-05-2008, 07:35 PM

Here's a few to get you going... Specific conference match-ups and games will follow in another thread...

Aug 30: Alabama v Clemson. If the Tigers fancy themselves title contenders, they can't afford a slow start.

Sept 13: Ohio State v Southern California. An "in-season" Rose Bowl that might give the winner an inside track to the national title game.

Oct 4: Ohio State v Wisconsin. The Badgers have been close to securing Big-10 honors and can get a big boost here.

Oct 11: Arizona St. v Southern California. The winner could get a leg-up in the Pac-10 race.

Oct 11: LSU v Florida. The Tigers' thrilling victory last season set the stage for a run to the national title.

Oct 11: Oklahoma v Texas. The Big-12 South winner often comes out of this feud.

Oct 18: Kansas v Oklahoma. The Jayhawks did not meet the Sooners during last seasons' run-up to the Orange Bowl.

Oct 25: Illinois v Wisconsin. Last seasons' Rose Bowl participant against a team that wants to get there.

Oct 25: Georgia v LSU. The teams did not meet last season, which might have cost the Bulldogs a shot at the BCS title game.

Nov 1: Florida v Georgia. How much will the Bulldogs have left after playing in Baton Rouge a week earlier?

Nov 15: Ohio State v Illinois. The Illini handed the Buckeyes thier only regular-season loss a year ago.

Nov 22: Michigan v Ohio State. Coach Rich Rodriguez takes the Wolverines to Columbus for the first time.

Nov 28: WVU v Pitt. The Panthers' stunning upset kept WVU out of last seasons' national title game.

Nov 29: Missouri v Kansas. The Tigers' win last year sent them to the Big-12 title game.

Dec 6: South Florida v WVU. The Mountaineers are 0-2 against S. Florida the last two years and 10-2 against the rest of the Big East.

Sept 13th, Georgia at South Carolina. This is a close game just about every year. Georgia will likely be coming into the game a top 3 team in the country. They will also be looking for revenge as South Carolina went into Athens last year and won. Should be another good one.

Man, you gotta hand it to Spurrier (I personally love the guy from his days down in Gainesville)... Yes, Georgia should be coming in there with guns blazin' after thier first two cake-walks (Ga Southern, Cent Mich). And S. Carolina has two tougher matchups prior, in NC St. and Vandy... Personally, I'd absolutely LOVE to see a 'Cock win!....

I can't wait for this one. It is at home so I will be there. It is a great game every year and this one shouldn't disapoint. Georgia is loaded offensively. We should have our best defense we have had in a long time. This game reminds of the quincy quarter game where they came in ranked 9th and he was a heisman candidate. He threw five picks...still one of my favorite games I was ever at. I think we will beat NC State by two touchdowns and we blow out Vandy leading to Georgia. Vandy loses alot and it is a big revenge game for us. So, we should hopefully go into the Georgia ready!
