Make sure the remote control has good batteries. Here is your TV guide to the weekend in college football:
Weekend's best bets
(Besides the Huskers, of course)
No. 18 Michigan at No. 21 Minnesota: We know it's Week 1 in the Big Ten, but Michigan desperately needs this one, otherwise the Jim Harbaugh chatter picks up.
No. 17 Iowa State at No. 6 Oklahoma State: Okie State has won nine of the past 11 matchups in the series and can take control of the Big 12 with a win Saturday.
No. 9 Cincinnati at No. 16 SMU: SMU is 5-0 and Texas transfer QB Shane Buechele is having a big season (1,700 passing yards, 12 TDs).
