Here is a list of Must Watch College Football Games this weekend. First of all, let me throw a curve ball (World Series starts Friday) and give you a Friday night game to watch as a warm up. Boise State is at UNLV on CBSSN. It is a late one for viewers on the east coast that kicks off at 10:30. Boise has the best running back in the country in Ashton Jeanty. He just might win the Heisman.
On to Saturday; Ohio State is coming off a loss to Oregon and a bye week and they will be ready to jump on a Nebraska team that got crushed at Indiana last week. Speaking of Indiana, ESPN GameDay will be in Bloomington for the undefeated Hoosiers game against Washington. IU will be without its starting QB due to a thumb injury. Sticking with the Big Ten, I think Michigan State is a 4 point live dog in Ann Arbor to take on a Michigan team that has terrible quarterback woes.

I am curious to see how #12 Notre Dame does at #24 Navy. The Irish are two touchdown favorites. Is Navy a live dog in this one? #20 Illinois is at #1 Oregon. This is the toughest game remaining on the Ducks schedule. If they win this it might be smooth sailing to the Big Ten Championship game.
In the SEC #21 Missouri is at #15 Alabama. I am not sure which Bama team shows up for this one. Also #8 LSU proved to be better than we thought after losing the season opener to USC. The Tigers play at #14 Texas A&M.
In the ACC, remember when Florida State at #6 Miami used to be a big deal? But FSU comes into this game with a 1-6 record and is not expected to put up a fight.
These are just some must watch college football games this weekend. For the latest on college football talk and analysis tune in each weekday to Craig Shemon and Company on ESPN Southwest Florida from 2-6pm.
