Top College Games in Week 1

by Barb Layton

This week’s biggest game is most likely the “Backyard Brawl” between the 17th ranked Pitt Panthers and the West Virginia Mountaineers. Like many others in Western PA, West Virginia and Northeast Ohio, I can’t wait to watch this game. It has been a number of years since the 2 teams have met. With the demise of the Big East the Pitt Panthers joined the ACC and the WV Mountaineers joined the Big 12. This ended the “Backyard Brawl”. Tonight, it is back.

Here is the list of the games to watch this week:

Thursday, September 1

  • West Virginia @ #17 Pittsburgh 7:00 PM
  • Penn State @ Purdue 8:00 PM

Friday, September 2

  • Western Michigan @ #15 Michigan State 7:00PM
  • TCU @ Colorado 10:00PM

Saturday, September 3

  • #11 Oregon @ #3 Georgia 3:30 PM
  • #23 Cincinnati @ #19 Arkansas 3:30 PM
