On Saturday, you may not get off the couch all day. Get your chores done early, because Florida State plays Oklahoma at 3:30 p.m., and Ohio State hosts Miami (FL) in the same time slot. And at 7 p.m., Penn State travels to Alabama for a Big Ten/SEC showdown.
Las Vegas has spoken: Ohio State is a nine-point favorite over Miami, Oklahoma is favored by eight points, and Alabama is a 10.5-point favorite.
OHIO STATE - MIAMI (FL) Quarterbacks Terrelle Pryor (OSU) and Jacory Harris (UM) battle for top dog in this matchup. Both were practically perfect in their season openers, as both teams combined for 90-7 wins over their opponents.
OKLAHOMA - FLORIDA STATE Oklahoma underwhelmed, while Florida State overwhelmed in Week 1. Yet Oklahoma is still one of the favorites to emerge from the Big 12, while Florida State would be lucky to end up in the Orange Bowl. Sooners running back DeMarco Murray ran for more yards in Week 1 than FSU quarterback Christian Ponder threw for, yet both offenses are capable of putting up flurries of scoring without batting an eyelash.
ALABAMA - PENN STATE
The premier game of Saturday night, this game has both stud and dud potential. Running back Trent Richardson appears as viable an option as Heisman Trophy rusher Mark Ingram, who's sidelined with an injury. Penn State true freshman quarterback Robert Bolden looked great against FCS Youngstown State, but may struggle against one of the nation's top defenses.
