Week 6 Open Thread

You know the drill

William Mancebo

Conference play is in full rage across the country, and from here on out, each game takes an ever increasing amount of importance.

The national slate features plenty of intriguing match ups this week.  Tonight sees undefeated Arizona take on Oregon (9:30 PM, ESPN).  Then we have half of the SEC match ups featuring battles of ranked teams, which of course is easy when half of the conference gets ranked at the start of the season and won't be removed until they have a losing record.  Among those games, I'm most curious about are Aggy vs Miss. State, LSU vs Auburn and Ole Miss vs Bama. Gameday finally visits The Grove in Oxford and this is the biggest game in the Huge Freeze Era.   My hunch is that both schools from Mississippi are a bit overrated, but since it's SECSECSEC, nothing really matters in terms of their on-field performance.

In the Big 12, the game of the week is definitely OU at TCU.  This will be my most anticipated match up around the league.  Outside of that, we have some games with serious laugh potential in UT vs Baylor, KU vs WVU, and TTU vs KSU.

Here's the full slate of games for the week.  Cheers!
