FALL SATURDAYS......TOP 25 Key Games.....'BAMA rolls to HAPPY VALLEY.....IRISH n Big BLUE in the BIG HOUSE under the LIGHTS......more TOP 25 Key Games

The FALL SATURDAYS Collection of BLUEDUDE SPORTSTALK is a pick of the Top Division 1-A Football Games in the Country that week that impact or could have impact on the BCS Picture.

Installment #1 SEPTEMBER 10, 2011:

330PM et University Park PA

#3 Alabama CRIMSON TIDE @ #23 Happy Valley and the PENN STATE Nittany LIONS: This could be interesting for a HALF or so. 'BAMA comes in with way too much experience on the Defense led by ALL SEC Picks Safety Mark BARRON and OLB Dont'a HIGHTOWER. Also for the NITTANY LIONS D hi is going to stop 'BAMA RB Trent RICHARDSON?

On the Other sideline the LIONS will have WHITE OUT and about 100K rabid NITTANY LIONS FANS and they must put pressure on the 'BAMA Offense as they are very inexpereinced at the QB spot.

BAMA'S D will have to stop what looks like the one constant for the PENN STATE Offense in RB Silas REED.

OUTLOOK: After the SMOKE Clears it should be ROLL TIDE all the way in convincing fashion 30-10 'BAMA

430PM et Athens GA Between the HEDGES

#12 South CAROLINA GAMECOCKS @ Georgia BULLDOGS: the DAWGS coming off of a BEATDOWN from the hands of the BRONCOS of BOISE STATE...need this Victory in the worst way for 2 reasons.

1. It is the START of SEC League play and they must sty ahead in the Division.

2. GEORGIA Head Coach Mark RICHT seat was hot in the LOSS last week to BOISE.....will be burning up Literally if the OLD BALL COACH......COCKS head man STEVE SPURRIER puts an L on the DAWGS.

The 'COCKS Attack is led by SR QB Stephen GARCIA, RB Marcus LATTIMORE, and WR Alshon JEFFREY. They looked impressive last week as GARCIA came off the bench to get the 'COCKS Offense going. LATTIMORE sliced and DICED his way to over 100 yards on the ground and JEFFREY, who stands at 6-4 and about 230 EL BEES...is massive target. Looks like a MIX between NFL HOF Shannon SHARPE and JETS WR Plaxico BURRESS.

The BULLDOGS must get something going in the AIR and if the DAWGS want to stay in the RACE in the SEC EAST.....that starts SATURDAY vs the 'COCKS.QB AAron MURRAY is definately capable as well as DAWGS Leading WR Orson CHARLES.

Look for the OLD BALL COACH Spurrier to hold nothing back as he knows if he can escape SANFORD Stadium with a W...it would put UGA in a HUGE HOLE and their all of suden embattled Coach Richt.

OUTLOOK: The DAWGS will be playing aggressive but the 'COCKS might have too much fire power. Look for the 'COCKS #1 HS Recruit in the Nation last season DE Jadveon CLOWNEY of South Carolina to show off some of his ability. 'COCKS in a close one....27-20.

1220 PM et The PLAINS AUBURN Alabama

#16 Mississippi STATE BULLDOGS @ Auburn TIGERS: Gene CHIZIK and his Auburn group were looking for an inter squad scrimmage last week vs UTAH STATE and instead almost took an L. Well this week they need to fix all those short comings because the #16 rankled MISS STATE Bulldogs are in town with a New Purpose and New Leadership.

BULLDOGS Coach Dan MULLEN, a former Right hand Man for GATOR Coach Urban MEYER, has quickly tuned around the BULLDOGS Camp and now is looking to challenee in the tough SEC WEST with 'BAMA and LSU.

CHIZIK needs more out of his Ground Attack and more balanced all around to pull this one out. The BULLDOGS will be looking to send a message that that #16 national Ranking is no fluke.

OUTLOOK: MULLEn and his group have way too much firepower and they are on a MISSION......STATE BULLDOGS......24-14

8PM et the BIG HOUSE under the LIGHTS

Notre Dame IRISH @ the MAIZE & BLUE: Enough said. This used to be a TOP FLIGHT CONTEST....now with both Programs under new leadership......Both Schools need to get after it and the IRISH really have no excuse.

ND head Coach Brian KELLEY claims their is no new INFO on the QB Controversey. ND has all these 4 and 5 STARS and still can't get over the HUMP. They played a GAME South FLORIDA team coached by SKIP HOLTZ, the son of Lou HOLTZ.

ND was out worked in nearly every facet in the GAME. They have talent and they need to START improving their RED ZONE Effeciency and watch the TURNOVERS.

The MAIZE and BLUE and Head Coach BRADY HOKE will be more than tuned up for this one as this is COACH's 1st crack at ND as a head coach.

BIG BLUE is led by Denard ROBINSON and WR Roy ROUNDTREE. they will need to mix it up as the IRISH will be more than ready.

OUTLOOK: ND Coach KELLEY is feeling the HEAT and a HUGE WIN over Big BLUE will get the Booster Club and ND Alumni Club off his back.
HOKE on the other hand it's simple for UM......let's lineup and take it too the IRISH. The WOLVERINES will be playing under Night Lights for the 1st time ever.......so DO NOT DISAPPOINT.

SCORE......MAIZE and BLUE 31- ND 24
