Get ready for a big week in sports. Week 8 in the NFL wraps up tonight with a good matchup between the Vikings and the Patriots. Then the NBA tips off on Tuesday with alternating doubleheaders on TNT and ESPN the rest of the week. But don’t sleep on the phenomenal Thursday night college football matchup between #3 West Virginia and #5 Louisiville. When the schedule makers drew that one up this summer, I doubt they were expecting a rare Top 5 matchup with National Championship implications.
