Time for the college football TV slate, with USC geocaching

USC has (another) bye week, UCLA is asked to get up for a noon-time contest at home (please, make it against Cal, which hasn't figured out how time change works -- and let's remind everyone, daylight savings time isn't until Nov. 2), and the rest of the Pac-10 is still being asked by the local doctor to count backward from 100 every seven numbers (100 ... 92 ... 82 ... 87 .... 97 .....):

==For local interest:
Saturday, noon, FSN Prime Ticket: Arizona at UCLA (with Barry Tompkins, Petros Papadakis and Jim Watson).

==For the rest of the week -- and note: We don't use rankings, because we're not even sure which number matches up to whatever poll any more, except for a consensus that USC is now No. 1 and the rest of the SEC somehow fills out the rest of the Top 8:

Wednesday:

=5 p.m., ESPN2: Kansas State at Louisville (with Rece Davis, Lou Holtz, Mark May and Rob Stone)
