- Miami’s off to a bad start against Purdue in the Big Ten/ACC challenge, by which we mean a great start. Yes, they’re short-handed, but the losses still help.

- Syracuse plays Rutgers. OLD BIG EAST.
- Penn State’s trying to climb back into NIT-land, visiting Virginia Tech in a matchup of schools we remember as being better at football than they were.
- Minnesota hosts Boston College, so if you like watching desperation…
