Nebraska (4-5) at #8 Kansas (8-0), 12:30pm ET Saturday, FSN

Watch as Kansas tries to remain undefeated against the agonizingly weak Cornhuskers. If Kansas pulls ahead early, watch the players train on the sidelines for their biggest challenge of the season next week: trying to lift KU Coach Mark Mangino over their heads if they beat Mizzou.

Fun Fact: There is no truth to the rumor that the Big 12 will be renamed the Big One in 2008 after Mangino eats the other eleven teams.

#4 Arizona State (8-0) at #5 The Mighty Ducks of Eugene (7-1), 6:45pm ET Saturday, ESPN

Did you know Arizona State didn’t play their first ranked opponent of the season until they beat then-#21 Cal last week? Coincidentally, Cal is responsible for Oregon’s only loss this season. This means nothing, but it’s Friday, I’m lazy, and I couldn’t pull up any meaningful statistics. 

Fun Fact: Oregon’s football uniforms allow for up to 384 different combinations of jerseys, pants, and helmets - and yes, that 237th combination does make their asses look big.

Edmonton Eskimos (5-11-1) at Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2-15-0), 7:00pm ET Saturday, Check Your Local Listings, You Crazy Canuck

I saw a guy in Times Square a couple nights ago, and he was wearing an Edmonton Eskimos hat. That’s pretty much the only reason I put this in here. Both teams have been eliminated from CFL Playoff contention (only two teams miss the playoffs!), but remarkably, you can still watch this game in cities like San Francisco, Denver, Washington, Baltimore, and Chicago. Maybe Hamilton will throw in former Hawaii QB Timmy Chang, whose CFL career has included one touchdown pass and seven INTs.

Fun Fact: Eskimos DB Siddeeq Shabazz’s name would score 52 points in a game of Proper-Name Scrabble - without the double-word score.

New England Patriots (8-0) at Indianapolis Colts (7-0), 4:00pm ET Sunday, CBS

OH MY GOD DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS GAME IT’S THE TWO BEST TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE BATTLING FOR FOOTBALL SUPREMACY WITH TWO AMAZING QUARTERBACKS FACING EACH OTHER IN A REMATCH OF LAST YEAR’S AFC CHAMPIONSHIP AND A POTENTIAL PREVIEW OF THIS YEAR’S AFC CHAMPIONSHIP. DID YOU HEAR DID YOU HEAR DID YOU HEAR?

Fun Fact: Oakland Raiders fans, decidedly bored by their own team’s game against the Texans, have chosen to stay home and watch the Patriots-Colts game instead.
