Here's why else it matters:  Week 3 College Gameday at Stanford! 

I don't mean to be a wet blanket, but as much as I'd like to see that happen (and yes, I did wake up early to get over to campus to see the latter part of Gameday in person and watch Lee Corso put on the tree hat), it's a non-starter.  Last year, Stanford football was a hot item that simply could not be ignored.  Entering both Gamedays, Stanford had the growing undefeated record and the overwhelming Voldemort favorite.  This year, before the U.S.C. game, Stanford should be just 2-0 having played ... SJ State and Duke, with a QB still to be named.  The attractiveness (compared to last season) is not there.  And there's the biggest reason that Stanford would not be a worthy candidate that weekend:  School won't be in session.  With zero students on campus, there would be a tiny crowd at 5 AM PST in the background for Fowler, Herbstreit and Corso.
