Part 1 – Top Games Thursday and Friday
Thursday
6:00pm ESPN – North Carolina vs South Carolina (Charlotte) – Heels return 18 starters and look for a rare breakout win to kick-off 2015; Cocks trying to prove the Ol Ball Coach still has it in him.
8:30pm FS1 – Michigan at Utah – the Harbaugh era begins at Michigan with a road game against a team that won in the Big House 26-10 last year; is the energy of the new coach enough to pull off an upset right out of the gate?
9:00pm ESPN – TCU at Minnesota – Both TCU and Baylor are in the playoff race, and face embarrassingly easy non-conference schedules… with one exception. This is the Horned Frogs one opportunity to get an out-of-conference win against a Gopher team that is a dark horse contender in the B1G West.

Friday
10:15pm ESPN – Washington at Boise State – Former Boise HC Chris Petersen returns to the smurf turf with a struggling Husky squad.. Will the Broncos welcome back the coach that put the program on the map? Or show no mercy in one of the few games against power 5 teams to make an impression on the playoff committee?
