It’ll be hard for Longhorns like myself to take advantage of the quad box this week, since I’m en route via (REDACTED) Airlines*** to Gainesville to take in Texas’ SEC matchup with the Gators in person. So it’s unlikely I’ll get much TV time before or after the events taking place at The Swamp tomorrow afternoon. But that doesn’t stop us from giving the people what they want, or more importantly what they need.

Which means, as always, we’re giving you the perfect guide to watch four games at once. As always, the rules stay the same: there’s no Longhorn overlap, four games in the same window and we give you one timeframe where you fire up the quad.

Name: The Action is the Juice

Time: 6:30-7:30 CST

Game 1: Miami at Florida State (Canes -4.5)

Game 2: Miss St at Texas A&M (Aggies – 15.5)

Game 3: Kansas at UCF (Jayhawks -4.5)

Game 4: Texas Tech at Houston (Red Raiders -11.5)

Notes: I’m going to write about Tom Sizemore’s timeless quote from Michael Mann’s Heat in my own “Preheat” article. But, I like this slate of games. Florida State is on the ropes and needs to wash last week’s defeat out of their mouths if they want to keep CFP hopes alive. Though in the way the Seminoles beat up Alabama in week one, Miami might do the same thing to Mike Norvell’s battered squad in Tallahassee. At the same time, it’s Mario Cristobal’s chance to show that the 2025 version of his team is not prone to the same degree of sleepwalking that his 2024 team was guilty of.

As for the other three games, I’m going rapid fire. I’ll have my eye on the Bulldogs in College Station in the off chance the spirit of Mike Leach, The Pirate, gets his old team over on what he called “the pretend soldiers” one more time. As for Kansas and UCF, I’ll follow Jalon Daniels anywhere. Then in Houston, can a Willie Fritz squad sneak up on a Red Raider team coming off a bye week and riding high? Or will Joey McGuire’s team continue to roll over their Big 12 counterparts?
