With it being rivalry week, tickets are more expensive. Boy did I have to work to find some decent deals for this week because any big big game is WAY too expensive for the average fan. The only one I could even consider would be Oregon vs Washington for $74 per ticket. The STARTING PRICE for tickets to The Game are over $300, same with the Iron Bowl. Tickets to USC vs a stumbling and flat out BAD 3-8 UCLA team are over $100… Just to sit in an empty stadium.
#13 Utah at Kansas: $7
-Utah narrowly escaped a feisty Kansas State team last week in a game that the Utes really had no business winning. They kept their CFP hopes alive for now, they need to finish out the season strong with a statement win over a Jalon Daniels lead Jayhawk team.
LSU at #8 OU: $29
-Another OU game for under $30. They have a very real chance at getting into the College Football Playoff and you can go see their senior night for only $29. If the Sooners overlook LSU, they are plenty talented enough to pull an upset.
#12 Miami at #22 Pitt: $32
-This is a sneaky good game that I don’t believe is getting talked about enough. Miami is the ACC’s frontrunner for a College Football Playoff spot, as they are sure to be a 1 bid league. Pitt could spoil Miami’s chances of reaching even the ACC championship game with an upset though.
Cincy at TCU: $24
-Both of these teams are very exciting to watch and should end up in decent bowl games. Can Brendan Sorsby limit the interceptions this week and help Cincy break their 3 game skid? TCU is coming off a huge upset over Houston, will they ride that momentum into this week and reach 8-4? Or will they be hungover from celebrating their win against the Cougars?
Boston College at Syracuse: $3
-Any time that a Power 4 football game is $3, you have to go. It may be very, very bad football but it’s better than doing nothing with your Saturday. If Syracuse can somehow find a way to win another game this year, it adds to the possibility of a 6 way tie atop the ACC.
