News Update :

One must-see college football game each Saturday in 2013

Thursday, 29 August 2013

Every week, there's one gem. USA TODAY Sports highlights one college football game that you won't want to miss each Saturday.

Aug. 31: Georgia at Clemson. Dawgs' Aaron Murray vs. Clemson's Tajh Boyd and Chad Morris. Let the scoring gluttony begin.

Sept. 7: Notre Dame at Michigan. Savor this fall classic. The nation's two winningest programs, by all-time percentage, will part for at least a while after 2014 – by Notre Dame's hand because of Atlantic Coast Conference scheduling commitments.

Sept. 14: Alabama at Texas A&M. This year's Game of the Century. You-know-who is A&M's quarterback, and you know what he and the Aggies did to 'Bama – in Tuscaloosa – a year ago.

Sept. 21: Utah at Brigham Young. One of the nation's top rivalries takes center stage on a weekend largely devoid of top-notch matchups.


Sept. 28: Wisconsin at Ohio State. While the Buckeyes are the presumed Big Ten favorites, they'll have to take out Wisconsin to win the Leaders Division.

Oct. 5: Kansas State at Oklahoma State. The Wildcats have been overlooked in the Big 12, but they won't give up the league's automatic BCS bid without a fight

Oct. 12: Texas vs. Oklahoma (in Dallas). Big Tex, the iconic, 52-foot animated cowboy that presided over the State Fair of Texas for 60 years, was destroyed by fire in October. Not unlike the heat that will hit Texas' Mack Brown if the Longhorns lose a fourth in a row to Oklahoma.

Oct. 19: Florida State at Clemson. The ACC's defining game will also have heavy BCS ramifications, as the winner likely will take home the Atlantic Division title and the loser will battle for an at-large bid.

Oct. 26: UCLA at Oregon. In what could be a preview of the Pac-12 championship game, UCLA heads to Eugene looking to develop momentum heading into November.

Nov. 2: Georgia vs. Florida (in Jacksonville). Last year's win handed Georgia the SEC East Division. This year's date should be no different.

Nov. 7: Oregon at Stanford. Ditto last November, when the Cardinal won in overtime: This is for primacy in the Pac-12 and perhaps a shot at the national championship.

Nov. 16: Oklahoma State at Texas. Are the Longhorns back? An earlier date with Oklahoma will provide some evidence, but the Big 12 could still come down to how well Texas can handle the Cowboys' prolific offense.

Nov. 23: Texas A&M at LSU. While most SEC teams take a breather – or play Football Championship Subdivision opponents – the Aggies and Tigers meet with a BCS bid on the line.

Nov. 30: Ohio State at Michigan. If things play out as expected, Ohio State -- winner of 10 of the last 12 in the series -- will be trying to close out a second consecutive perfect regular season. But this time, the Buckeyes will get to play on.

Dec. 7: Oklahoma at Oklahoma State. This game is typically bedlam, as the title suggests. Oklahoma would like to forget about its last trip to Stillwater, a 44-10 loss that sent OSU to the Fiesta Bowl.

Dec. 14: Army vs. Navy (in Philadelphia). There are no conference championships on the line, no national championships at stake, no BCS on the horizon. This is still the best rivalry in college football.

Jan. 6: BCS national title game (in Pasadena, Calif.). End of a 16-year era, none too soon for many. Bring on the playoff.
