College football TV lineup for Saturday 9 a.m.: Massachusetts at Wisconsin or Southern Illinois at Illinois, BTN; Buffalo at Ohio State, ESPN2; William & Mary at West Virginia, FS1; Purdue at Cincinnati, ESPNU. Toledo at Florida, KDOC. Rice at No. 7 Texas A&M Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel must have missed curfew or the team bus because he has been suspended for the first half of the Aggies' season opener at Kyle Field. What's this? This is his punishment for not knowing the thousands of autographs he signed for brokers might be sold for profit? Yeah, the NCAA and Texas A&M could not prove Johnny Football accepted money for his signature but did bust him on a secondary violation. That's a parking ticket in NCAA parlance that won't even require Johnny to wear a Tennessee orange jump suit and pick up litter on the highway. This little bit of fortuitous news puts A&M right back in the BCS title chase. Temple at No. 14 Notre Dame 12:30 p.m., Channel 4 The Fighting Irish take the field for the first time since an embarrassing 42-14 loss to Alabama in the BCS title game. The Irish also take the field without last year's starting quarterback, Everett Golson, who is out because of a case of dislocated academics. It's now up to senior Tommy Rees, the human turnover, to prove why he shouldn't have been benched last year in favor of a freshman. If Rees takes care of the ball, the Irish should be fine. 12:30: Penn State at Syracuse or Mississippi State vs. Oklahoma State at Houston, Ch. 7, ESPN2; Brigham Young at Virginia, ESPNU; Central Michigan at Michigan or Northern Illinois at Iowa, BTN. Nicholls State at No. 3 Oregon 1 p.m., Fox Sports 1 ESPN Pac-12 blogger Ted Miller has predicted Oregon will win this game by the final score of 101-3. "I'm actually afraid for Nicholls State," Miller wrote. Wow, that's shocking. He really thinks Nicholls State will score? I fear Miller might be right and Oregon could hit 101 on the number. Oregon State, after all, defeated Nicholls last year, 77-3, in Corvallis. And Oregon beat Oregon State, 48-24, in Corvallis. It all adds up to a Knuckle Nicholls Sandwich. Virginia Tech vs. No. 1 Alabama 2:30 p.m. at Atlanta, ESPN Most years Virginia Tech could give teams like this Alabama team an opening-game run, but not this year. Frank Beamer's Hokies are coming off a 7-6 year and replacing seven starters on offense. That doesn't sound like a formula for scoring points against the nation's No.1 defense. 3 p.m.: Eastern Washington at Oregon State, Pac-12. 4 p.m.: Miami at Marshall, CBSSN; Washington State at Auburn, ESPNU 5 Georgia at No. 8 Clemson
