Every Wednesday I put out a four-deep of the available games from the early kickoff to whatever the West Coast has after dark. The order is based on a combination of strength of teams playing, the matchup, and personal preference. Yes, that last one means Nebraska carries a lot of weight, but not all of it.
A lighter early slate still has a trio of top-10 teams hoping to stay in the conversation for a New Year’s Six bowl.
Things really heat up in the midafternoon and evening with some SEC rivalries of No. 1 Georgia at Florida and No. 21 Tennessee at Kentucky. Also Colorado still trying to get to bowl eligibility and undefeated James Madison coming in at No. 25 to host Old Dominion.
Nebraska-Purdue just misses with its 2:30 p.m. kickoff, but the Huskers are getting closer to bowl eligibility and a return to the four deep.
