College Football Question: Thursday Night Football
They say in college the weekend begins on Thursday and often goes through until Wednesday. Thursday Night Football on ESPN and ESPN 2 helps to solidify that fact by broadcasting some interesting match-ups in prime time. Thursday Night Football serves as a way for some of the lesser known programs in college football to get their schools some quality air-time. This season, some lesser known schools, as well as some big name programs, will be featured in the time slot. The gods of college football don't flake out on the fans either. There are some big time games on Thursdays this year, including a huge PAC-10 clash between USC and Oregon, as well as a titanic Big-East game between Pitt and South Florida. There's also the ever popular Lone Star Showdown between Texas and Texas A&M. Here's the complete schedule for the 2008 season of Thursday Night Football.

Clemson Vs Wake Forest
Two very good acc powerhouses going at it about six weeks in. Clemson ranked number 9 in the nation and wake forest in the top 25. I think that will turn out to decide who the winner of the acc is with virginia tech also slipping into the mix. I also like the south florida cincy game i think that could turn out to be a major upset.

Gotta say
I’m looking forward to WVU-Auburn — I didn’t realize that game was so comparatively late in the year. That should be a good one. Also Texas-Texas A&M as well.
