What a terrible article. Also, basically every game Notre Dame plays this year is a top game for 2014. WTF?

Actually, I'm going to argue with myself. This just goes to show how bad OOC scheduling is in general across college football.

Have OOC games ever made up a big number of must see games? You basically have conferences that are two or three deep outside of the SEC, and say six deep in the SEC, as far as marque matchups. Even if everyone has one blockbuster OOC matchup (which they won't), that's eight match-ups between marque teams. More likely you get a handful of marque matchups and then the other 8 marque teams have games with other big name schools that aren't particularly good right now. It looks like that's basically what that list consists of, with about 12 games of filler, like games involving BYU or Ole Miss or Arizona State.

Wow, 8 of Notre Dame's games are considered top games to watch?

Texas - UCLA? Those teams suck. Texas May had their worst team in modern history last year.

That was a piece of garbage. Why did you link that? Everyone on this board is now dumber for having read that.

UCLA is a national contender.

Athlon is terrible. I quit buying their crap in 2009. I had bought Athlon's since 1981. It was once a good magazine, but it has gotten worse and worse since the 2000's. They're based in Nashville, and I believe there has to be a Rebel working there because they are always two feet up the Bears butts. They along with Lindy's, Sporting News, etc. do a terrible job of research and just write what they hear on ESPN. I buy Phil Steele, not that he's that much better, but I like all the stats, and where you can write the scores in for every game.
