Bye Week Game Day Notes/Links

Because the Team Everyone Wants To Watch (the Baylor Bears) aren't playing today, CFB had to figure something out to keep the fans interested. So we get Alabama vs. Texas A&M.

Dave Martin

On the front page, I've placed a storystream for today's action that focuses mainly on the Game of the Century of the Week, Alabama vs. Texas A&M. Chris Brown (@SmartFootball)'s piece is still in the layout, too, and if you haven't read that, you should.

For everything else, check out the Viewing Guide provided for you by the mothership at SB Nation-CFB. As always, I'll put up an Open Thread for today's action, but because the OU game kicks off at 11:00, I'll have it up relatively early, all things considered.

That should be ... awesome.

Lets face it, last week's slate of college football games left plenty to be desired. Sure, Devin Gardner looked good against Notre Dame, but most of the other games were snoozers. This week, we're getting the biggest game of the year.
