Bloggers' Roundtable: Best Week 6 College Football Game

This week is probably the most interesting college football week so far this season. With conference schedule in full swing, we are treated to 6 match-ups between AP Top 25 teams. This week will help determine whether or not the B1G will even be in the discussion for a team for this years playoff as #19 Nebraska travels to #10 Michigan St. This week will help determine who are the truly competitive teams in the SEC West which currently has 6 of its 7 teams in the Top 15. All of those teams play each other this week as #3 Alabama travels to #11 Ole Miss for College GameDay, #5 Auburn welcomes #15 LSU and #12 Mississippi St. coming off its upset of LSU welcomes #6 Texas A&M to Starkville.

With such competitive match-ups and interesting narratives in each series, this week we asked our bloggers which college football game they were most excited for.

The Big Ten has greatly faltered as of late, as it has been tougher than ever to find a solid team in the conference. The last undefeated team standing is Nebraska--currently 19th overall in the country--and they will be going to play a Michigan State team that has suffered a loss this season, but is still rated 9th spots ahead of Nebraska at 10th overall in the country. This game is certainly intriguing, and will give us a better idea of who the powerhouses in the Big Ten are--or if they simply don't exist.

Matthew Hakimian - Lead Editor - Stanford at Notre Dame

Stanford vs. Notre Dame stands out to me in a week filled with incredible matchups. I'm still not sold on Brian Kelly's squad, especially after their abysmal 2013 season. However, Everett Golson looks tremendous so far after being away from the team last season, and he has to be mentioned among the early Heisman favorites. Stanford had a tough loss earlier in the season against USC so we know that David Shaw is going to have his guys fired up in this rivalry game. Both teams have College Football Playoff aspiration so it should be an awesome game.

There are a lot of Top 25 match-ups in college football this week, but the one I am most excited for is the #14 Stanford Cardinals traveling to South Bend to play #9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Notre Dame is coming off of a victory against Syracuse, and quarterback Everett Golson has been playing well this year. Stanford has allowed the fewest points per game in the NCAA this year. It will be interesting to watch this potent Notre Dame offense go up against the best defense in college football.

Thomas Kroner - Featured Blogger - Alabama at Ole Miss

Although I should say Cornell's home and Ivy League opener against Yale, since I go here and all. But lets be real, there are 6 inter Top 25 games on Saturday. If I have to choose one, I'm going Alabama at Ole Miss, the winner of this will have a serious leg up in the SEC and National Title race.

Robert Lee - Contributor- LSU at Auburn

The most intriguing College Football game of the week for me is LSU at Auburn. LSU has announced that it will be starting true freshman, Brandon Harris, for this week's game, and it will be interesting to see how this highly touted freshman will handle himself on the road in a hostile environment. On the other hand, this game is the beginning of a hellacious schedule for the Auburn Tigers. They already have a marquee victory against Kansas State; however, of the remaining 8 games, they will have to face 6 ranked team plus South Carolina. This game against LSU could be the beginning of the end or beginning of their journey to the College Playoff for Auburn.

Come on, we go to Cornell. What is more exciting than watching than watching two football and intellectual powerhouses play in one of the biggest rivalries in college football. Stanford coaches even call their old-fashioned, smash-mouth football style “intellectual brutality.” The Cardinal remain one of the last teams in college football that play a traditional style: running a slow offense, pounding the ball in the I-formation and playing solid defense. Meanwhile, the Fighting Irish are off to a solid 4-0 start and are ranked in the Associated Press top ten. The atmosphere in Notre Dame Stadium will be wild, as the Notre Dame faithful and the famous Touchdown Jesus will watch their Fighting Irish attempt to beat Stanford for only the second time in six years. This is definitely not one to miss.
