College Football Walkthrough (Week 11)

I haven't done this in a while, but I'm sure you haven't forget how it goes...so let's walk it out.

• (25)West Virginia will try to knock off (5)Cincinnati as a road underdog tonight at 8pm on ESPN. The Big East continues to provide football fans with primetime weeknight matchups that have BCS implications. Bearcat backup quarterback Zach Collaros will start again for Cincinnati and Mountaineer running back Noel Devine will suit up for West Virginia. If the Mounties win this game, they will control their BCS destiny 12 weeks in to the season. No one is talking about them as a BCS team, but Noel Devine could lead them there with wins over both Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.
• Watch Michigan continue to free fall under Rich Rodriguez at noon on the Big Ten Network. The (20)Wisconsin Badgers get their turn to beat on the Wolverines this week. Coach Rodriguez needs to finagle a win out of a ending two game slate that includes Wisky and Ohio State if he intends to send the Wolverines bowling this year. I suggest that he better pull out all the stops to beat the Badgers.
• Tennessee and Mississippi meet in Oxford at noon on CBS. This game becomes more intriguing with the news that 3 Volunteer football players were arrested on charges of armed robbery last this week.
• Florida State travels to Wake Forest as both teams try to bounce back from devastating losses. ESPNU has the coverage at noon.
• THE DUKE BLUE DEVILS ARE IN THE HUNT FOR THE ACC TITLE IN WEEK ELEVEN! Duke can tie the (7)Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in the conference loss column if they can beat them at home in Durham on ESPN2. Kickoff is at noon.
  
• The Ol' Ball Coach gets his old team in his new backyard with the chance to throw a monkey wrench into the national title race. The South Carolina Gamecocks host the (1)Florida Gators at 3:30 on CBS.    
• The Potato Bowl between 7-3 Idaho and undefeated (6)Boise State has lost some of its luster since the Idaho Vandals have recently lost two games (to Fresno State and Nevada) and their starting quarterback (Nate Enderle), but it is still the biggest game in the history of the rivalry and it is a shame that no one could pick up this game for national television coverage. The Vandals and Broncos kickoff on the blue turf at 3:30pm. 
• Stanford plays at (9)USC fresh off of dismantling the Oregon team that dominated the Trojans. The Cardinal have an outside shot at the Rose Bowl in the same way that bruising running back Toby Gerhart has an outside chance at the Heisman. USC also has BCS aspirations to keep alive if they can win out. FSN has the coverage at 3:30pm.
• (10)Iowa will try to salvage their season at the Horseshoe against the (11)Ohio State Buckeyes as a part of ABC's 3:30pm regional coverage. The Hawkeyes will start Iowa high school football legend James Vandenberg in the stead of the injured Ricky Stanzi.
• Fresno State and Nevada clash in Reno for the right to be Boise State's second banana in the WAC. You can watch this one at 4pm on ESPN360.com.  
• (2)Alabama has a tricky game against Mississippi State in Starkville. Bulldogs coach Dan Mullen gets every ounce out of every one of his players. The Dogs could surpise people and keep this game close. Kickoff is at 7pm on ESPN.
• The (17)Arizona Wildcats go to Strawberry Canyon to play Cal.If the Cats continue to win they will find themselves in the Rose Bowl. This game isn't nationally televised, but the opening kick is at 7pm.
• Auburn and Georgia meet between the hedges as the Dawgs try to save their season and the Tigers look to build on their impressive run under first year coach Gene Chizik. ESPN2 has the coverage at 7pm.
• The Versus Network made a great decision when they decided to start broadcasting Mountain West football. They'll be televising the Amateur Status Game of the Week this week when (4)TCU and (16)Utah meet with the conference title hanging in the balance. ESPN's College Gameday will be live from Fort Worth for the occasion. Kickoff is at 7:30pm. 
• Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis will have a chance to make Irish fans quickly forget about his second loss in three years to Navy. If the Golden Domers can knock off (12)Pittsburgh under the bright lights of Heinz Field, Weis may ensure himself another season under the helm in South Bend. Pittsburgh also looks to break into the top ten and stay hot as they get closer to their showdown with undefeated Cincinnati. This 8pm kickoff is a part of ABC's primetime regional coverage.
• (19)Oklahoma State tries to continue towards a possible Cotton Bowl birth when they welcome Mike Leach and his Red Raiders to Stillwater. If you're a betting man, take the over in this one because the scoreboard will change frequently. This is the other half of ABC's primetime regional coverage at 8pm

There are plenty of good games this week, and most importantly, some of the murky conference races will become a little clearer after the day's action. A win by Duke against Georgia Tech however, would throw the ACC into a tailspin.
