Every Wednesday I put out a four-deep of the available games from the early kickoff to whatever the west coast has after dark. The order is based on a combination of strength of teams playing, the matchup, and personal preference. Yes, that last one means Nebraska carries a lot of weight, but not all of it.
Multiple games went over 8 million viewers this past weekend and week four looks to have some dandies, but this week projects to be a stinker. Still, football is on TV!
Matt Rhule’s home debut for Nebraska Saturday evening against Northern Illinois doesn’t make the slate.
