Games of the Week – Week 5

One of the best games of the weekend is tonight, Texas A&M at Oklahoma State. WASEAN likes the Aggies by a point, despite their being a 2.5-3.5 point underdog, depending on where you look.

So each week I’ll put together a list of WASEAN’s top 20-25 games, based on something I wrote up last week called "Game Watchability Score". Essentially it weighs quality and closeness of teams (adjusted for HFA) 50/50. I'll include WASEAN's rankings of the teams so far too. Times are EDT. Thanks to lsufootball.net for the TV network info. They do a great job providing TV info for all games.
