Only Week 5 game is Stanford at Washington which is a Friday game on 9/30. Saturday games are in October.
My Top 10
1. Ohio State at Oklahoma - (Week 3 - Sat 9/17) - IMO, this is the biggest OOC game and possibly the biggest game of the season. It is the only one in September that will have a major impact in CFP. I predict both of these teams to win their conference and make the CFP. Oklahoma is my preseason favorite to win the NCG.
2. Alabama vs USC - (Week 1 - Sat 9/3 - @ Jerry World) - If USC is the best in the Pac 12, it could be as meaningful as the Ohio State game in Norman. I like that it is the only true neutral game among top teams in the month of September.
3. LSU at Wisconsin - (Week 1 - Sat 9/3 - @ Lambeau Field) - How much will home field advantage affect LSU? Can Wisconsin slow down Fournette? Will Corey Clement shine? How good is either team? It is not a stretch to say either team can win their division and possibly their conferences.
4. Michigan State at Notre Dame - (Week 3 - 9/17) - Both teams had an amazing season last year and both didn't look too good in their bowl games. This is one of those games that will be a big win for the winner, but a costly loss for the loser.
5. USC at Stanford - (Week 3 - 9/17) - These two won their divisions last season and could likely face each other again this season. According to the preseason Coaches Poll, both of these teams are the highest rank in their division.
6. North Carolina at Georgia - (Week 1 - Sat 9/3 - @ Georgia Stadium) - This might be an odd one for a top 10 game, but it is a great RB game.
7. Stanford at UCLA - (Week 4 - 9/24) - Like the USC/Stanford game, this could likely be a preview of the CCG. UCLA is the 2nd highest ranked in their division and they are returning a very talented Rosen at QB.
8. Wisconsin at Michigan State - (Week 4 - 9/24) - This is easily the biggest B1G conference game in September. It is also a crossover game that could be big for the West Division. If both enters the game 3-0, both teams will have a quality win with LSU and Notre Dame.
9. Oklahoma State at Baylor - (Week 4 - 9/24) - This will be Baylor's first real test. They should be 3-0 heading into the game, which Oklahoma State might not be.
10. Ole Miss at Florida State - (Week 1 - Mon 9/5 - @ Citrus Bowl) - Florida State is possibly expected to be 2nd best in conference to Clemson. Ole Miss has recently been a team that looks great at first but falls off.
