Looking ahead at the schedule for this year (counting conference games only), here's what I see as the best games of the week:

Sep 15: TCU@KU (only game; 1st B12 game for TCU)
Sep 22: KSU@OU
Sep 29: BU@WVU (1st B12 game for WVU);OSU@UT
Oct 6: WVU@UT;
Oct 13: OU/UT; KSU@ISU(Farmageddon);TCU@BU;WVU@TTU
Oct 20: KSU@WVU;TT@TCU
Oct 27: TCU@OSU
Nov 3: OSU@KSU;TCU@WVU
Nov 10: KSU@TCU;WVU@OSU
Nov 17: OU@WVU
Nov 24: OSU@OU(Bedlam)
Dec 1: OU@TCU; UT@KSU

November 17th's game could be for the BCS bid...

Agree with you on that, Bit. I can't wait for the first Big 12 game.

I am glad TCU gets their first Big 12 game in early, especially with a trip up to Kansas which can have iffy weather late in the season.

A lot of the suspected title contenders also have back loaded schedules which should set up some compelling story lines down the stretch.

You want iffy weather? Come to Morgantown in November. You could get anything from beautiful weather to snow and ice...

After looking over the schedule I must say that I bet FSU fans would love for the Big 12 schedulers to give a training course to the ACC folks. This schedule definitely builds up towards the end of the season.

TCU is pretty familiar with it from playing in the MWC, the front range has similar beautiful to terrible weather swings in November.

We won't get there until Dec 1st...when I suspect the weather can be even more interesting.

That it can. Winter in West Virginia is fun though. Driving through the hills during a snow storm is an unforgettable experience...

But it could just as easily be around 70° too...

I'm ready for some Big 12 football...

Can we just skip ahead to September?

As someone who has no fondness for baseball, golf, or soccer, I agree!

I love baseball, but the best professional baseball comes in September and October. So yeah, lets just skip ahead to September.
