The Arkansas Razorbacks and soon to be SEC member Texas A&M are set to square off this Saturday in the Southwest Classic, which is played in Cowboys Stadium. Last season Arkansas managed to hold off the Aggies for a 7 point win, narrowly covering the spread. This year both teams come into the game following disappointing losses, which makes this a big game for two teams with BCS bowl aspirations.
The Baltimore Ravens head to St. Louis to try to rebound from last week’s somewhat surprising loss to the Tennessee Titans. After demolishing the Pittsburgh Steelers in week 1 – a win that many people thought signaled the newfound dominance of the Ravens in the AFC – the Ravens laid an egg in Tennessee. This week won’t be any easier, facing a Rams team still smarting from two tough losses.

The Miami Dolphins deserve a break. They hosted the Patriots in week 1 and the Texans in week 2. They played well enough in each game, but dropped them both. They travel to Cleveland this weekend for a date with the Browns, a team that has been blessed with a much easier schedule early on. The Browns have lost to the Bengals at home and won at Indy last Sunday.
The New York Jets travel cross-country to take on the Oakland Raiders in a game that pits one of the League’s top rush defenses against one of the League’s top rush offenses. The Jets are coming off a thorough thrashing of the Jags at home, while Oakland blew a 21-3 halftime lead at Buffalo, giving up a staggering 35 second half points to lose 38-35 at the end of the game.
The Texas A&M Aggies welcome the Oklahoma State Cowboys to College Station for one of the Big 12’s best games of the season. Both teams are ranked in the top 10, and the winner takes a big step forward towards earning an automatic berth in a BCS bowl, maybe even the national championship game. Of course, each team has to wrestle with Oklahoma somewhere down the line …

The Iowa Hawkeyes, fresh off their dramatic win over Pittsburgh last week, host the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks at Kinnick Stadium this Saturday for a Big 10/Sun Belt matchup. With their win, the Hawks moved to 2-1 on the season, while the Warhawks recent loss to TCU dropped the Warhawks to 1-2.
The Oregon Ducks are starting to look eerily similar to last year’s team that steamrolled through the season, en route to a national championship invitation. The Ducks ran into the buzz-saw that was Cam Newton’s Auburn Tigers and lost a close, hard fought game. And like the game against Auburn, Oregon faced LSU to begin the season, only to fall just short against a top tier SEC team.
