Yogi or De Niro, which station's games are available in England - Espn, Abc, Nbc, Cbs?

Do you get to see any of the West Coast or South West schools? It's interesting b/c if I'm watching on Saturdays I'll occasionally flip over and watch your English teams play your football. I wonder if we're watching the very same games on both sides.

At any rate, it all makes for a great day. Glad you guys are playing. cool

I might be doing this wrong. I put my most confident picks at #1, because that makes sense.

I didn't realize that first year Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez was without a quarterback to run his patented shotgun-spread option offense this season, it's no surprise they got beat again in the home opener. This could be a tough year for the Big Blue, but one would think they'll be one of the best teams in the country in coming years (Sorry, Buckeyes).
