Week 1

Main Event: Georgia at Clemson. The rightful destination of College GameDay in Week 1, Clemson and Georgia are both coming off very similar seasons in which they achieved a lot, but just missed having truly special years. Now, two teams ranked in the preseason top 10 square off on college football’s first Saturday. Giddy up.

Undercard: LSU vs. TCU (in Dallas). Defense should be on full display when LSU takes on TCU at Cowboys Stadium, and although the fuss over Gary Patterson’s comments has quieted a bit, plenty remains at stake. TCU will try to assert itself as a BCS contender, while LSU will look to overcome the loss of a bunch of veterans and find a way to stay among the national elite.

Amuse-bouche: Alabama vs. Virginia Tech (in Atlanta), Boise State at Washington, Mississippi State vs. Oklahoma State (in Houston), NIU at Iowa, Louisiana-Monroe at Oklahoma, Ohio at Louisville

Week 11

Main Event: Oregon at Stanford. Oh, boy.

Undercard (Tie): Oklahoma at Baylor and LSU at Alabama. Baylor hosting Oklahoma is the type of matchup for which Thursday night games were created. It’s going to be great, whether both teams are having good years at this point in the season or not. As for LSU against Alabama, well, you know you’re going to be watching LSU against Alabama. You know everyone else is going to be watching LSU against Alabama. And you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Amuse-bouche: Virginia Tech at Miami, Kansas State at Texas Tech, Vanderbilt at Florida, Nebraska at Michigan, Texas at West Virginia, BYU at Wisconsin, Ohio at Buffalo, Southern Miss at Louisiana Tech

Week 13

Main Event: Texas A&M at LSU. At this point in the season, Johnny Football will have probably hijacked a Royal Caribbean cruise and landed on an island where his only goals are to: A) make a smoke signal and B) have a good time. Eventually his society will have devolved, and the dead parachuter he inevitably discovers will be mistaken for a beast. This is sure to be high drama.

Undercard: Baylor at Oklahoma State. Even if Baylor falls out of the Big 12 title race, it will still feature Lache Seastrunk and will likely be one of the most entertaining teams to watch in college football. Oklahoma State, which also boasts a high-powered offense, should be similarly exciting.

Amuse-bouche: Oklahoma at Kansas State, Michigan State at Northwestern, Oregon at Arizona, Kent State at Ohio, NIU at Toledo, Nebraska at Penn State, Indiana at Ohio State, East Carolina at North Carolina State

 

 

In all The MAC makes this list 8 times in all (3 for Ohio)

Other MAC games listed:
NIU @ Iowa
Toledo @ CMU
NIU @ CMU
Buffalo @ Toledo
NIU @ Toledo

Interesting use of the phrase Amuse-bouche, to me, anyway, who very recently had to have it explained to me again. 

In this context, I hope it means something special cooked up for your personal indulgence and not  a one-off that isn't quite good enough to make the regular menu although a favorite of the maker.  I think it's the former until I see the Indiana at Ohio State game included.

Odd that they skipped the game most likely to decide the East, that being Ohio at BG. They also skipped all the games likely to decide the West at well, NIU-Toledo, Ball State-Toledo, and Ball State-NIU, as well as the most competitive cross-over game, BG-Toledo.

Interesting mix of boxing and culinary terms.  The amuse bouche that I've always had, except for a tater tot at Hodge's in Cleveland, yes a tater tot, have teased my palette and given the diner a hint at what is to come.

Let's be fair....Sweet potato tater tot with siracha-maple syrup.

I am being fair - it was no better than a tater tot out of a box from the frozen food section at Kroger.  As for siracha-maple syrup - the server may have walked past the bottle on his way to our table.  I was eating with a bunch of foodies and the opinion was unanimous.
