Two games feature two ranked teams this evening. In Berkeley, the Trojans visit the Golden Bears. SB Nation’s Cal blog, California Golden Blogs, offers a preview so intelligent and in-depth that you’ll want to take it to the coffee shop and read it. Other people will think you’re an intellectual.
No. 24 Cal at No. 7 USC: Only One Team Can Be Upset
Also, No. 8 Oklahoma plays No. 17 Miami. The Sooners' star quarterback, Sam Bradford, is out, but our own Crimson and Cream Machine argues that hope is not lost:
The bottom line is that Oklahoma will win or lose tomorrow night as a team. This game is bigger than just one person and the weight of the team shouldn't rest on the shoulders of Landry Jones. As a team the Sooners are going to have to follow the game plan and shake off the woes that have plagued them away from Norman for the last several years. There's hope for this team in the absence of Sam Bradford and it's found in them playing together and taking advantage of where Miami's weaknesses have been exposed. If Tyrod Taylor can lead a team to victory over Miami then I like Landry Jones' chances.
