There is no avoiding it. This, despite the recency bias, is the biggest Saturday thus far on the 2014 college football schedule.
Let's make it happen.
12:00 pm
#12 Baylor (7-1) at #15 Oklahoma (6-2) - FOX Sports 1
A month ago, this was one of the best games on the entire slate of 2014. With three losses between the two since, things have changed quite a bit. Still, look at the top prospects here:
| Name | POS | Yr. | School | 3k's Proj. Rd. |
| Shawn Oakman | DE | RS Jr. | Baylor | 1 |
| Spencer Drango | OT | RS Jr. | Baylor | 1 |
| Bryce Petty | QB | RS Sr. | Baylor | 2 |
| Dorial Green-Beckham* | WR | RS Jr. | Oklahoma | 1-2 |
| Eric Striker | OLB | RS Jr. | Oklahoma | 1-2 |
* - ineligible for 2014
That's five likely 2015 week one starters. That's five players the Rams will likely face if they don't draft them themselves. That's just the marquee noon matchup...
3:30 pm
#10 Notre Dame (7-1) at #9 Arizona St. (7-1) - ABC
This is without pointing to Texas A&M (6-3) at #3 Auburn (7-1) on CBS or #23 West Virginia (6-3) at Texas (4-5 HAHA) on FOX Sports following the above Baylor-OU game. Between these three, here's the top prospects:
| Name | POS | Yr. | School | 3k's Proj. Rd. |
| Ben Koyack | TE | Sr. | Notre Dame | 2 |
| Cody Riggs | CB | RS Sr. | Notre Dame | 2-3 |
| Jaelen Strong | WR | RS Jr. | Arizona St. | 1 |
| Cedric Ogbuehi | OT | RS Sr. | Texas A&M | 1 |
| Reese Dismukes | C | Sr. | Auburn | 2 |
| Sammie Coates | WR | RS Jr. | Auburn | 2-3 |
| Gabe Wright | DT | Sr. | Auburn | 2-3 |
| Kevin White | WR | Sr. | West Virginia | 1 |
That's plenty of day one and two talent. Sort through it as you like.
7:30pm
#7 Kansas St. (7-1) at #6 TCU (7-1) - FOX
8:00pm
#5 Alabama (7-1) at #16 LSU (7-2) - CBS
#14 Ohio St. (7-1) at #8 Michigan St. (7-1) - ABC
Glorious.
| Name | POS | Yr. | School | 3k's Proj. Rd. |
| Landon Collins | SS | Jr. | Alabama | 1 |
| Amari Cooper | WR | Jr. | Alabama | 1 |
| Arie Kouandjio | OL | RS Sr. | Alabama | 2 |
| T.J. Yeldon | RB | Jr. | Alabama | 2-3 |
| La'el Collins | OT | Sr. | LSU | 1 |
| Michael Bennett | DT | Sr. | Ohio St. | 1-2 |
| Trae Waynes | CB | RS Jr. | Michigan St. | 1-2 |
| Shilique Calhoun | DE | RS Jr. | Michigan St. | 1-2 |
| Kurtis Drummond | FS | RS Sr. | Michigan St. | 2 |
Decent chance there's a Ram in that group. And that's without pointing out some of the prominent underclassmen or late round guys. Michigan St. QB Connor Cook is a fringe round one option, though I wouldn't be surprised if he stays for his final year.
10:00pm
#4 Oregon (8-1) at #17 Utah (6-2) - ESPN
Pac-12 football is the perfect nightcap.
| Name | POS | Yr. | School | 3k's Proj. Rd. |
| Marcus Mariota | QB | RS Jr. | Oregon | 1 |
| Ifo Ekpre-Olomu | CB | Sr. | Oregon | 1 |
| Arik Armstead | DE | Jr. | Oregon | 1-2 |
| Jake Fisher | OT | Sr. | Oregon | 2 |
| Hroniss Grasu | C | RS Sr. | Oregon | 2-3 |
| Nate Orchard | DE | Sr. | Utah | 2-3 |
Between Dismukes and Grasu, the Rams have to eye this center class. Both are starting NFL quality, and I don't know if any Rams fans exist that still back Scott Wells.
Great day ahead. Let's get it.
