This is a huge weekend for college football. Nine games involve matchups with ranked teams, the most that we’ve seen in college football on a single weekend since 1936.
I got that stat from ESPN U radio, so blame Braden Gall if it doesn’t pass fact check. Either way ... big weekend ahead.
UW, of course, will have its hands full in dealing with one of its nastiest rivals. The Ducks will certainly have the full attention of the players and coaches. Fans, on the other hand, will have their eyes glued to the scoreboard all day long and will, thanks to a late start time for UW, have a pretty good sense of how well or poorly the day is working out relative to UW’s playoff hopes.
