Programming announcement: ESPNU Top 25 Games of 2017
I have started to look forward to this the last couple of years and it starts tomorrow night with Michigan State vs. Northwestern at 7pm.
I scoured the inter webs and could not find the the list of games or a schedule..... Anyways it starts tomorrow at 7pm if anyone is interested.
MSU v Northwestern was a top 25 game? I guess maybe because MSU managed to get lucky and tie it with 25 seconds left? That ended well. That or LJ scott's impressive 16 yards on 8 carries.
Michigan played football last year? I only remember squeaky floor ball and pond hockey.
I watched the 2003 MSU game yesterday. Starting to get the itch, so I am watching old games to get me excited for the 2018 team.
Last year --- they did the reveal "game-by-game." I figure they will do the same this summer.
One issue is that ESPN doesn't have the rights to replays of the FOX games. That's going to be several games that make the list but don't get televised.
My likely wrong guess at the Top 10 (in no particular order):
1/2. CFB Playoff games. GA vs Oklahoma and GA vs Alabama
3/4/5. OOC games. A&M @ UCLA, Georgia @ ND, USC @ Texas
6/7. B1G: PSU @ OSU, PSU @ Iowa
8. American: UCF vs South Florida
9. SEC: Alabama @ Miss State
10. ACC: Clemson @ Syracuse
Usually a few other (non-playoff) bowl games pop onto this list: Alamo Bowl (TCU-Stanford), the no defense bowl (Wake-A&M) would seem to be good enough to get into the top 10.
