Longhorns Viewing Guide: November 11th

Another week another primetime game for the Longhorns, looks like it's not just us here at the Texas FanHouse that loves watching the Longhorns on TV. ABC is putting the Horns facing off against Kansas State on tonight in the majority of US homes despite not exactly being a marquee match-up. Here's the other games to tune into today:

Georgia at (5) Auburn – 11:30 am on ESPN GamePlan. A loss here by Auburn not only knocks the Tigers out of the BCS title picture but hurts Arkansas and Florida's computer rankings a little. All the SEC teams worry me as the human polls might try to make it up to the conference for undefeated Auburn being left out of the title game several years ago.

Nebraska at (24) Texas A&M – 2:30 pm on ABC. An A&M win here is probably better for the Horns. Nebraska will likely win the Big 12 North and face Texas in the championship game, but beating the same team twice isn't worth much in the computer polls. Better to face off against a 10 and 2 top twenty Texas A&M the day after Thanksgiving.

South Carolina at (6) Florida – 2:30 pm on CBS. Can Steve Spurrier crush his old school's national title hopes? Texas fans hope so. The Gators are just two thousandths of a point ahead of the Horns and could get a boost from a win in the SEC title game over Arkansas. If both the Horns and Gators win out it'll be chaos.

(13) Tennessee at (11) Arkansas – 6 pm on ESPN2. Probably the best game of the day. Two tough SEC teams, but the game is in Fayette-nam and the Vols are without starting QB Erik Ainge so the Razorbacks have the edge.

Texas Tech at (17) Oklahoma – 6 pm on FSN. Another hated rival Texas fans have to root for because the BCS is stupid. The more OU wins the better the Texas victory in the Red Rivery Rivalry looks to both the humans and the computers. Sooners are looking for revenge for the controversial loss last year in Lubbock.

(4) Texas at Kansas State – 7 pm on ABC. A nationally televised opportunity for the Longhorns to impress some voters. Probably not too many coaches or Harris Poll voters they can sway with a win over the Wildcats but they can convince some people they're worthy of their current spot.

(21) Oregon at (7) USC – 9:15 pm on FSN. The Trojans were struggling even before they got beaten by Oregon State, and the Oregon Ducks are a much better team than the Beavers. If this game was in Eugune USC might be in serious trouble, this one should still be a tough one for the Trojans. A USC loss could knock them, Cal, and Notre Dame out of the national title picture.
