All times CDT:

11 AM .... Baylor at Oklahoma ... Fox Sports 1

- Not only is this a very intriguing matchup between good teams, ranked #12 and #15, and fighting to keep major bowl hopes alive, but there is absolutely NOTHING else worth watching at this time. I mean, Penn State at Indiana? Duke at Syracuse? You gotta be kidding me. Laugh about FS1 all you want, but it delivers some good Big 12 games.

2:30 PM ... Notre Dame at Arizona State ... ABC

- Huge game, the biggest not played at night, between #9 and #10 in the CFP rankings. The winner not only takes a giant step towards securing a spot in a major bowl, but keeps their playoff hopes very much alive. The loser drops into minor bowl oblivion. And again, there's no other game in the same area code in terms of watchability.

7:00 PM ... Alabama at LSU .... CBS

- Yes, on paper, the Kansas State - TCU game is bigger, because both of those teams are still alive for the playoffs while only Alabama is in this game. But, LSU is fighting for a major bowl spot, and the hatred of LSU fans for Nick Saban and Bama is palpable. There's just a lot more tradition and excitement going on in Baton Rouge, with 103,000 crazies packing Tiger Stadium than anything going on at TCU. Call me biased, as I do live only about 10 miles from LSU, and can feel the excitement in the air this game has caused. But I will flip to K-State/TCU during commercials or even between plays.

And hard to believe how irrelevant the ACC is tomorrow and most weeks. Even the B1G gives us Michigan State - Ohio State, but all the ACC can serve up is FSU vs Virginia and Louisville vs Boston College? The ACC is a steaming pile of garbage games, week in and week out.

9:00 PM ... Oregon at Utah ... ESPN

#4 Oregon seeks to clinch the PAC North and stay on track for the playoffs, but it might not be easy against a tough #17 Utah team. This is worth staying up late for.

All in all, I expect to watch about 13 straight hours of football tomorrow. Can't wait!

Sounds like someone is bitter because their team was not on the ACC's radar. Embrace the American

I'm not bitter that the ACC hasn't invited USF. I can't argue that Syracuse, Pitt, and lastly Louisville were better Big East programs to steal. If I were the ACC I wouldn't have invited us over those schools either. And I love ACC basketball.

But the football is sub-par. So many garbage games, so few good ones, and this week highlights that.

My viewing schedule:

12:00 Watch Florida State players beat up a freshman for fun

3:00 Watch Syracuse players pick their nose while attending a special Saturday class

8:00 watch North Carolina players get their degrees after they try a real class

11:00 Florida State coaches show spent attacking the freshman who had it coming to him

You are not the only one that is not watching ACC games. Outside of a few programs (and props to those programs), there is just not a great deal of fan support for the vast majority of their games (regardless of "reported" attendance figures). Why would most of the games be on your radar when they are not even on the collective radars of their own cities?

I won't be watching any of those games.

I watched the Wake Clemson game Thursday night and I don't know if my heart could stand another game that exciting.
I think I'll pass on all the thrilling games being played in the ACC today.

On GameDay, Alice Cooper just picked Baylor to beat OU. Can Baylor live up to Alice's expectations?

They are forcing Alice Cooper to care enough to make a pick?

What is the world coming to?

Truth of the matter as of right now the ACC only has some games that could appeal to the Non Partisan Fan in Normal Years for these schools:

Florida State - Clemson
Miami - Florida State
Miami - Virginia Tech
Florida State - Louisville
Clemson - Louisville
Georgia Tech - Clemson
Georgia Tech - Miami
