Today's Schedule of Games
Penn State at Ohio State at noon. Since it does not matter who wins, I hope it goes 6 to OT's.
In the afternoon, there will be no trap game. Michigan is well aware of what Indiana can do. Keep the #SPEEDINSPACE momentum rolling.
When we take care of business, you can take a peek at TX at Baylor, and/or TA&M at Georgia. Both home teams are coming off big emotional wins and could get complacent at home.
Also in the afternoon, unlike the Big Ten the Pac 12 has not moved their Rivalry Week to the weekend after Thanksgiving. The big Pac 12 rivalry games are today: UCLA at USC, Cal at Stanford.
At night . . . not much. It's the SEC's bye week, right before their Rivalry Week. Must be nice. So, they add nothing to the conversation. Oregon at ASU, I guess? TCU at OU, maybe? I'm going to dinner at a Brazilian steak house myself. Mmmm steak.
Your Pac 12 After Dark specials, just for the fun of it: Washington at Colorado, Utah at Arizona.

Here's a fancy schmancy schedule link with some nice aesthetically pleasing graphics:

Thanks M-Dog enjoy that steak!
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:31 AM ^
It's many different steaks! That's the beauty of Brazilian BBQ, they keep on bringing out and bringing out different steaks on skewers for you to try . . . some of which you never heard of.
I will probably force myself to have a salad just to balance things out. A small salad.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:29 AM ^
I still can't believe that ESPN believes more people will watch Alabama beat up WCU @ noon (on main ESPN) rather than watch Ok St play WVU (which they relegated to ESPN 2).
November 23rd, 2019 at 12:08 PM ^
WCU. That's a scheduling gem.
November 23rd, 2019 at 1:08 PM ^
November 23rd, 2019 at 9:44 AM ^
Michigan - Indiana is the Samsung 4K game of the week. Also SMU@ND and Texas @ Baylor in 4K for those interested.
November 23rd, 2019 at 9:44 AM ^
Don’t forget Harvard at Yale, Noon, ESPNU
November 23rd, 2019 at 9:48 AM ^
Yeah, that's a bucket list game for me.
November 23rd, 2019 at 9:45 AM ^
Does anyone think PSU has a shot against Ohio? I'm trying to talk myself into watching the game but I don't want to be depressed by it.
November 23rd, 2019 at 9:55 AM ^
Penn State has only won in Columbus twice since joining the Big Ten 25+ years ago. Neither of those were great Ohio State teams. One of them was the Fickell team in 2011.
I'm not seeing it.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:08 AM ^
That Terrell Pryor team was pretty good. 2008 I believe it was. The last great Paterno team
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:12 AM ^
If Hamler goes Rocket Ismail they could pull a stunner. Long shot though.
OSU -20 is a bit ridiculous though. Penn State doesn’t suck. OSU isn’t the New England Patriots.
OSU 34 21.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:09 AM ^
I was watching the Indiana-PSU game to get an idea of what the Hoosiers were like. I kept coming back to how I wished Michigan was playing PSU this week instead of Indiana. Granted PSU lost Hamler early, but man I wish Michigan could play them again. Alas.
No. I think PSU goes down by 3 TDs+ like everyone else. Maybe the PSU offensive or defensive coordinator can do something that gives Brown or Gattis an idea for next week. That's what I"m hoping to see.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:17 AM ^
I wish that too. We are peaking at the absolute right time and I would love to get another shot at PSU and Bucky too
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:14 AM ^
PSU has no chance
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:19 AM ^
Astute analysis my friend
November 23rd, 2019 at 2:05 PM ^
21-0 third quarter, my man.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:44 AM ^
I don't think it's going to be close. We beat up Penn State in Happy Valley after the refs and us spotted them 21 and then an Indiana team I suspect isn't very good also gave them a good run. I would take OSU to cover the -18. 55-24
November 23rd, 2019 at 9:58 AM ^
Go Rutger!!!
Beat staee ?
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:27 AM ^
OMG, if that did happen would that complete the circle???
Would love to hear his post game presser!!!
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:16 AM ^
Thanks, M-Dog...
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:21 AM ^
Illinois at Iowa could be good
Sparty vs Rutgers...today I am an adopted Scarlet Knight
Hoping the meteor wins in Columbus
Praying for a Don Brown special vs Hoosierines!
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:35 AM ^
I will never cheer for OSU, but I wouldn't mind them coming into the Big House undefeated. Upsetting an undefeated OSU and taking a trip to the Rose Bowl would make for a good season with alot of momentum for next year.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:15 AM ^
I think it might be best for The Game to have OSU crush PSU this week in a completely easy and satisfying win. So that OSU comes into The Game..fighting satisfaction.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:32 AM ^
Maybe it’s small, but until 0% I hold out hope on playoff. The only chance at playoff is OSU wiping the floor of PSU, coming in hot and people thinking “unbeatable “ next week.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:37 AM ^
Best case this week is for OSU to win but have to use all their trick plays up and show us all their new looks to do so.
OSU wins and it doesn't matter if they win in AA or not; they are still going to the B1G and likely CFP. Less intrinsic motivation.
OSU loses they won't win the B1G but PSU might still go to either the B1G or CFP, or if OSU rebounds they might still get a CFP invite with a very good showing in A2. Lots of motivation to show up.
All things being equal (such as team talent and discipline) I always prefer that OSU is highly ranked for the game.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:45 AM ^
I hope PSU exposes something we can use next week.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:40 AM ^
Texas A&M is going to get smoked. They're a sacrificial lamb that they find ways to put a number next to so the upper end of the SEC can all have a "quality win". Georgia wins by 3 TD's.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:18 AM ^
Texas A@M puts me to sleep. I’m not sure why, but they are never compelling to me.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:49 AM ^
Hoping for a very physical game between OSU and PSU. Very. Physical.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:18 AM ^
I'm hoping for The Meteor but he always disappoints.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:43 AM ^
Day reminds me of a Japanese theater puppet or something. Can't quite put my finger on it.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:42 AM ^
Second half flags in abundance vs the OSU secondary?
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:06 AM ^
Will be in attendance at the Colorado Washington game. Do I like either team? No, but I'm in Denver for the weekend and my buddy offered up a free field pass. Look for the big blue pitcher of Kool Aid on TV!
Also will be watching OSU/PSU which kicks at 10 out here, then obviously the business trip the men in blue are taking to Bloomington.
Go Blue, everyone have a great Saturday!
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:29 AM ^
Wait, do you travel with that costume or is that your full time gig???
November 23rd, 2019 at 12:21 PM ^
Costume?
I'm pretty sure he is, in fact, eight feet tall and six feet wide and full of blue liquid.
November 23rd, 2019 at 1:11 PM ^
Full time gig - hide your walls!
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:47 AM ^
Weak line up today. The poor SEC is taking their November bye week. USC-UCLA is interesting as a rivalry game. Not much else is going on
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:52 AM ^
"take a peek at TX at Baylor, and/or TA&M at Georgia. Both home teams are coming off big emotional wins"
Baylor won last week?
November 23rd, 2019 at 12:14 PM ^
That looked off to me too. They totally collapsed against Oklahoma.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:55 AM ^
I don't care about the other stuff. I'd root for the aliens from Independence Day over Ohio State.
November 23rd, 2019 at 12:00 PM ^
Go Rutger!
November 23rd, 2019 at 12:17 PM ^
Indiana could have made this so much easier by just beating PSU last week. As it is, I don't see much of a rooting interest in OSU-PSU, other than that I'd like to see some chinks in OSU's armor.
