NEU » he regular season. RICHMOND, Va. -- T.J.

This weekends games are nearly as enticing as the games we went crazy about during Week 1. The difference is that we havent been waiting eight months for them. The top three teams all play ranked opponents on the road. There are several other matchups -- Colorado at Michigan, USC at Stanford, UCLA at BYU, and thats just the Pac-12 -- the results of which promise to reverberate throughout the fall.In other words, its the perfect antidote to the dullness of Week 2. 1.?Between?Arkansas thrilling double-overtime victory at TCU and its SEC opener against Texas A&M at AT&T Stadium, the Razorbacks play Texas State on Saturday (7:30 p.m. ET, SEC Network). Head coach?Bret Bielema believes his team is, in his words, very, very hungry.Every week in the world of college football, half the teams lose, Bielema said. A lot of teams lose because they dont know how to win it.Add the opening one-point win over Louisiana Tech to the TCU victory, and it would appear thats not an issue. Check out this stat: In Bielemas first 28 games at Arkansas, the Hogs went 0-9 in games decided by eight points or fewer. In the last 12, the Hogs are 5-1 in such games. 2.?Since January, when Nick Saban won his fourth national championship at Alabama and the fifth of his career, the question has been asked whether he is the greatest coach of all time. You dont hear that speculation about Urban Meyer at?Ohio State?-- who faces Oklahoma on Saturday --?but consider this: Meyer is 156-27 as a head coach. That .852 winning percentage ranks third all time -- as in?forever -- behind Knute Rockne (.881) and Frank Leahy (.864). In four-plus seasons with the Buckeyes, Meyer is 52-4. Saban in that time is 52-6. If your best argument against Meyer is that he has only three national titles, come up with something better.3.?The decision announced Wednesday by the ACC Council of Presidents to move all of the leagues neutral-site championships out of North Carolina this academic year in protest of the state law that lifted anti-discrimination protections from the LGBT community will be a blow to the state of North Carolina. But the ACC also will take a financial hit for moving the football championship out of Charlotte. The ACC title game suffered dwindling attendance in its five seasons in Jacksonville (2005-07) and Tampa (2008-09). Thats why the ACC moved the game to Charlotte. But the decision was a fait accompli once the NCAA said Monday that it would move seven championship events out of the state. 4. Clay Helton of?USC?is new around these here parts, at least the head coaching parts, so give him a pass for his comment about No. 7 Stanford.They are what we try to be, Helton said, out loud, about the Trojans opponent Saturday (8 p.m. ET, ABC).This is the coach of the program that beat Stanford 39 times in 43 games (from 1958-90), that won 36 conference titles and 17 national championships to Stanfords 15 and two, respectively. However, USC hasnt won the Pac-12 since 2008, its longest drought since the first 11 seasons of the conference (1916-26). Stanford has won three of the last four. 5.?Michigan, under new defensive coordinator Don Brown, has brought at least five pass-rushers on 57 percent of its plays, the most in the FBS and nearly double the number of blitzes that the Wolverines used last year under D.J. Durkin, now the Maryland head coach. Heres whats interesting: Last year, at Boston College, Browns defense blitzed only 37 percent of the time. That Eagle unit led the FBS in total defense despite winning only three games, which is why Harbaugh lured Brown away. 6.?On the heels of the resurrection of the Pitt-Penn State rivalry comes?Idahos visit to Washington State. The schools, about 8 miles apart on West Pullman Road, will play for the 92nd time. In?the heyday of the Battle of the Palouse, the vanquished student body would undertake the Losers Walk and head to the other campus, where the winners would take them home. It was usually the Vandal fans who walked west. Washington State is ahead 71-17-3, which explains in part why the annual rivalry ended in 1978. The schools signed a 10-year deal from 1998-2007 -- the Cougars won eight times -- and have played only once since. Washington State (0-2) is a 25-point favorite over Idaho (1-1). 7.?Before last week at Oklahoma State, the most infamous extra play occurred in 1961, when Syracuse beat Notre Dame?15-14. Well, not really. Irish kicker Joe Perkowski missed a 56-yard field goal as time expired, but Syracuse lineman Walt Sweeney roughed the holder. At the time, the NCAA rule book had no provision for an untimed down, but the officials marched off the 15-yard penalty and gave Notre Dame another kick. Perkowski made this one, Notre Dame won 17-15 and Orange fans will give you an earful about it to this day. After the season, the rules committee wrote a rule that a game may not end on a defensive penalty.
