Let's take a look at the marquee games on the schedule that will get national TV coverage. All times Pacific
September 3rd--Michigan at Utah, 5:30 PM, FOX Sports 1: Jim Harbaugh's return to college football starts under the lights in Rice Eccles against Kyle Whittingham and a fierce Utes squad.
September 4th--Washington at Boise State, 7:15 PM, ESPN: Chris Petersen makes his return to his old stomping grounds. I don't expect this game to be heated at all.

September 11th--Utah State at Utah, 6 PM, ESPN2: The Utes always have a tough time with their cross-state rivals. Do they have the strength to bully past the Aggies?

September 19th--Cal at Texas, 4 PM, FOX: Sonny Dykes faces what figures to be a must-win game for the California Golden Bears to be ready to compete for anything this season.
September 19th--USC at Stanford, 5 PM, ABC: The Trojans and Cardinal have battled to the wire for the past five seasons. Don't expect anything to change this season.
