We are faced with this day every year. The last Saturday of November. It is always a thrill in college football. Rivalry games. Big games. Iron Bowl. Egg Bowl. Civil War. Conference titles at stake. Now, we finally have playoff positioning. Crazy day. Fun day. Gotta watch it all. Can't watch it all. Can't decide.
It all starts at 9 AM PST
Michigan at #6 Ohio St.
#16 Georgia Tech at #9 Georgia
South Carolina at #21 Clemson
Kentucky at #22 Louisville
Michigan-Ohio St. feels like the easy choice but all are intriguing, but Georgia Tech-Georgia has always strangely interested me. I think that it's Fran Tarkenton's fault. South Carolina-Clemson sure is tempting. The pre-game brawl at Louisville kicked up some interest in the battle for Kentucky.
12:30 PM PST
Florida at #3 Florida St.
#4 Mississippi St. at #19 Mississippi
#7 Baylor at Texas Tech
#10 Michigan St. at Penn St.
#18 Minnesota at #14 Wisconsin
San Jose St. at San Diego St.
Notre Dame at USC
Rutgers at Maryland
UAB at Southern Mississippi
There are some tough decisions here. May have to go with "picture in picture in picture in picture in picture." I'll have a bunch of itty bitty games playing at once. I've been thrilled all year with the two Mississippi schools entering the college football discussion. The Minnesota-Wisconsin game is the one that that's pulling me the most. It will probably come down to the Egg Bowl and Minnesota-Wisconsin.
A half hour later...
Kansas at #12 Kansas St.
Tennessee at Vanderbilt
are added to the mix.
Then, BYU at Cal kicks off at 1:30. Thanks to the idiots at Directv, the supposedly great provider of sports, I don't get the Pac-12 Network. I have to listen to this game. Not view it. It's amazing but a win makes Cal bowl eligible. A inconceivable thought after a single, sad win only a year ago.
So, the afternoon of this great college football day will probably find me switching between Mississippi St-Mississippi and Minnesota-Wisconsin on television and listening to Cal-BYU.
Then, the Iron Bowl,
4:45 PM PST
#15 Auburn at #1 Alabama
15 minutes later...
#2 Oregon at Oregon St.
The Civil War
I probably won't be budging from the Iron Bowl.
7:15 PM PST
Utah St. at #23 Boise St.
7:30 PM PST
Washington at Washington St.
Nevada at UNLV
I may need a nap and a snack or some oxygen after Alabama-Auburn.
Fun day.
It all starts again tomorrow with the NFL.
Panthers-Vikings, Patriots-Packers, Broncos-Chiefs. Morning, afternoon, and night. This might be the best Sunday of NFL action this season.
