Publish date:

The football gods blessed us with two games pitting top-10 teams against each other, and cursed us by putting them on at the exact same time. No. 4 Ohio State visits No. 9 Penn State and No. 8 Stanford visits No. 5 Notre Dame, both are at 7:30 ET (the former on ABC, the latter on NBC).

Outside of that, three other games pit Top 25 vs. Top 25:

No. 12 West Virginia at No. 25 Texas Tech (noon ET, ESPN2)
No. 20 BYU at No. 11 Washington (8:30 p.m. ET, FOX)
No. 19 Oregon at No. 24 California (10:30 p.m. ET, FS1)

Let's do it.
