FOOTBALL SCHEDULES
College Football Schedule (FBS)
College Football TV Schedule (FBS & FCS)
2 games that should be on Thanksgiving weekend every year are part of this week’s schedule: Iowa State-Cincinnati and South Alabama-Troy.
In addition, Houston-Texas Tech should be on Thanksgiving weekend once every three years.
Something like 90% of your ideas don’t make any sense and the rest are unrealistic.
What’s so special about ISU-Cincy?!?
#9 Texas and #24 UVa playing in the late afternoon merit a mention but #7 PSU playing in the same time slot on CBS doesn’t?
Huh?
