–The most prolific passer in college football — after one week– takes the stage at USC-Syracuse today, and his name is NOT Matt Barkley (it’s Ryan Nassib).

— Frequent Flier Miles Week as Army visits San Diego State, Duke heads out to Stanford, USC hits NYC to play ‘Cuse, and South Florida travels to Reno to play Nevada. That’s four triple-time zone contests.

— As a fan of Blade Runner, how can we not be thrilled to see Rutgers-Howard on the schedule?

— First Syracuse, now Vanderbilt. Northwestern won’t be sated until it plays every school with a solid journalism department in the country.

— Oklahoma State will have played two of its past three games in the state of Arizona after tonight. It’s the games in Iowa that give the Pokes the most trouble.

— Maryland trailed William & Mary — and was being shut out, 6-0 — until the fourth quarter last weekend and now the Terps are playing at Temple.  Does anyone outside SVP like The Edsalls in this one?

— Penn State at Virginia has a nice bucolic, collegial ring to it. The Nittany Lions would be better off playing in a conference more suited to its geographical location, methinks.

— No turnovers, and Savannah State can cover the 70.5 spread. We’ll Tallahas-see.

— Shoelace and Fitz will do fine in the Big House. The question is how well prepared will UM’s defense be for Air Force’s option attack. Wolverines will give Falcons Fitz, while the Falcons will give them fits.

“When Toussaint comes marching in…”

— Eastern Washington versus Washington State for the first time in 104 years. Cool.

— Does the SEC appreciate how much more of a grind it’s added to its plate with the addition of A&M and Mizzou? If not, check in with Mark Richt and Will Muschamp tomorrow.

— Arizona State will roll Illinois.

— South Carolina backup QB Dylan Thompson should see plenty of action today. Fans of CFB and West Village bars, take note: Thompson did not stumble out of the White Horse Tavern, collapse and expire decades ago.

Okay, we’re done here. My family contract limits me to a 350-word count before noon on Saturdays….
