Knowshon Moreno and No. 3 Georgia take on No. 8 Alabama {Thanks, AP}

Since the Ravens aren’t taking the field on Sunday, a forgotten team takes the top spot on this weekend’s list. And you can bet some of the Ravens will be on their couches watching these games, and you should be, too.

3. Redskins @ Cowboys (Sunday @ 4:15 on FOX): The Ravens don’t play until Monday night (in case you hadn’t heard), so the Redskins’ game takes over at the local sports game du jour. But this game is on the list for more than just that. Everyone knows about the bad blood between these two NFC East rivals, but this is also the best game on the NFL’s Sunday slate, unless you count the 0-3 Browns taking on the 0-3 Bengals…

2. #8 Alabama @ #3 Georgia (Saturday @ 7:45 p.m. on ESPN): The Penn Stater inside of me wanted to put the Nittany Lions’ big game against the Illinois Fighting Illini on this list, and the Terps also have a big game against ACC rival Clemson, but I just can’t do it folks. Alabama-Georgia is the game to watch on Saturday, with these two undefeated SEC foes duking it out on ESPN. (On a personal note, I can’t stand Nick Saban, so go Bulldogs!) Thankfully, all those Terps fans out there can watch both games. I, on the other hand, will be giving the remote control a serious workout on Saturday night.

1. Orioles vs. Blue Jays (Friday through Sunday on MASN2): I know, I know, the Orioles have been dead to you since late July, but give them a break. This is the Orioles’ last series of the 2008 season, and it’s at Camden Yards to boot. Head on down to the ballpark to let the team know you’ll be faithfully rooting them on in the spring. Once football season is over and done with, of course.
