We have a loaded bake potato of a College Football weekend ahead, and we take a look at the biggest match-ups. [My confidence pick remains Oregon plus the points]

We also take a look at what the NCAA athlete participation numbers are telling us, and what the NCAA wants us to think it is telling us. You can view them here.

More stories we are following: ACC and SEC scheduling, Bruce Pearl hangs it up, Mike Gundy's time is done, and North Carolina has an interesting decision ahead about sending gambling revenue to it's public FBS schools.
