College Prview for September 11

For those of you not burning the Koran this weekend, here is the exciting college football we have on tap for this weekend. Well, there are a few good ones. But mostly it will be the kind of bloodbaths that only Osama bin Laden would be proud of. On paper, there are a slew of one-sided match-ups.

Mountain West

Oh, good golly, does it look to be a bloody weekend of football in the MWC. At least BYU and Air Force will may have a close game.

UNLV at Utah (12-42)
Wyoming at Texas (17-50)
Tennessee Tech at TCU (3-55)
Texas Tech at New Mexico (35-2)
San Diego State at New Mexico State (33-16)
Colorado State at Nevada (12-41)

Game of the week:
Brigham Young at Air Force (27-13)

WAC

Nebraska scheduled their game with Idaho back when the Vandals could suck the barnacles off of the Jolly Roger. They would not have scheduled the Enderle/Akey Idaho Vandals. But the Huskers should still win, but they will not be able to get their third stringers into the game.

San Jose State at Wisconsin (3-28)
Idaho at Nebraska (28-42)
Louisiana Tech at Texas A & M (13-24)
San Diego State at New Mexico State (33-16)
Colorado State at Nevada (12-41)
Idaho State at Utah State (3-38)

Game of the week:
Hawaii at Army (28-24)

Big Sky Conference

There is a real shot this weekend of seeing an FCS opponent knock off an FBS school. It will not happen in Logan. It will be of little surprise to anyone if Montana State beats Washington State. Win or loose, the Bobcat fans will have a pleasant drive home.

Idaho State at Utah State (3-38)
Northern Colorado at Weber State (10-35)
Central Washington at Eastern Washington (24-28)
Portland State at UC-Davis (10-28)
Montana at Cal Poly (49-17)
Western Oregon at Sacramento State (3-17)
Northern Arizona at Arizona State (17-45)

Game of the Week
Montana State at Washington State (32-28)

Road Trip of the Week:
Bozeman, MT (Montana State) to Pullman, WA (Washington State)
7 hours 460 miles.
From Bozeman travel west on I-90 all the way to Coeur d'Alene, ID then south on US 95 to Pullman. The best part of the trip is scenic Lake Coeur d'Alene. This time of year is when the autumn leaves are just beginning to show. Bring a camera.
