Other games impacting the poll will be the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Fort Worth taking on the tough TCU Horned Frogs. Also K-State will travel to Norman to face Boomer Sooner n more.
"Fall Saturday's" Top 5 Games in Week 8
#14 #KState @ #11 #BoomerSooner 12pm ET
The Wildcats just missed beating the Auburn Tigers in Manhattan weeks ago and now they come 2-0 in Big 12 play with their first real test. The Sooners having beat Texas last week but losing to the TCU Horned Frogs the week before could ill afford to lose another game in the Big 12 let alone adding to a 5-1 2014 campaign. It will come down to QB play as Jake Waters will be up against Katy Perry crush Trevor Knight. This game will have huge implications on that top half of the Big 12.
#21 #GigEmNation @ #7 #RollTide 330pm ET
The original 12th Man is starting to show it's real weakness in a young QB in Kenny "Trill
" Hill and a Defense that is suspect to say the least and missing some dawgs up front. Now they will take a 2-2 SEC West record into T-Town to play a Nick Saban bunch who is still in the hunt as more ahead of them will fall. The game plan for Roll Tide has to be a heavy does of RB's TJ Yeldon and Derrick Henry. The Aggies need to grab 11 of their best on "D" and keep 'Bama out of their end zone or it could get real ugly.
#15 #OKState @ #12 #HornedFrogs 4pm ET
Say what you want Cowboys lead man Mike Gundy after watching the two games TCU played against the Sooners and Baylor Bears has to be saying is it the TCU football team to track team or a mix of both. The Horned Frogs should dominate this one after blowing a 58-44 in Baylor last week that would have put them atop the Big 12. Can the Cowboys stop Dallas, TX native an TCU QB Trevone Boykin? Another game with big time Big 12 implications as it's shake up Saturday in the Big 12.
#5 #NDIrish @ #1 #FSUNoles 8pm ET
Enough of all that "Famous Jameis" talk and the witch hunt that follows him with most of it being self-inflicted. We have a ball game as it's not the old Notre Dame/Miami Rivalry called "Catholics vs Convicts" and the Irish faithful had that on a Tee so don't kill the messenger back in the late 80s and early 90s. The 'Noles are vulnerable but super-explosive. The Irish simply has to maintain long drives and keep Winston and Company off the field. Notre Dame runs off QB Everette Golson and the 'Noles have to pressure him and take away the run game. FSU on offense needs a nice mix of RB Karlos Williams and WR Rashad Greene and Nick O'Leary and all in between. The winner of this game will send someone to that Playoff early...
#23 #Stanford @ #17 #ArizSt 1030pm ET
It's now or never for both Teams as the Sun Devils get a gift all wrapped up in L.A. Last week vs the Trojans or this game would have been more important for the Cardinals. Having said that the Cards have two tough losses to USC and Notre Dame. The Sun Devils only loss was to UCLA. The good thing is they both have one loss in Pac 12 play and this one will come down to defense. Who can keep it simple and get off the field on 3rd down it's that simple. The game breakers are Sun Devils WR Jaelen Strong and Cardinals gadget Ty Montgomery.
Other games to watch....
