The day kicks off with Gameday broadcasting from Williamstown, Massachusetts for Amherst College versus Williams College. This is the first time that Gameday will broadcast from a Division III game. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not up on my D3 football, but apparently this is a big rivalry.
In my opinion the slate of games starts off relatively slowly. The best of the 12 o'clock lineup is Michigan at Wisconsin on ESPN.
Things really get going at 3:30 when Auburn faces Georgia on CBS. This game is known as the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry. This game is really important because we need Georgia to lose as many games as possible. There are some other good games at 3:30 on ABC. Depending on where you live you'll either see Illinois at Ohio State, Arizona State at UCLA, FSU at Virginia Tech, or Texas Tech at Texas. I'm always interested in seeing FSU lose or Illinois win. UConn is playing at Cincinnati on ESPNU. I've always been a UConn fan because my parents went there, but they've only recently become good in football, which is a welcome change.
At 7:15 is Virginia at Miami on ESPN2. This is the last game the Hurricanes will play in the Orange Bowl. I really like that stadium and am sad that it's going to be torn down.
The creme de la creme of the college football lineup is FLORIDA at South Carolina at 7:45 on ESPN. This will be the third time the Gators have faced the Ole Ball Coach. It's amazing how in the beginning of my college career the South Carolina game never really meant anything, kinda like Vandy or Kentucky. Then all of a sudden Stephen Orr decides to go to Columbia and it became one of the biggest games of the season. We NEED to win. No joke, we really need to win out the rest of the season in order to have a chance to make it to Atlanta. It's still possible! Anything is possible! This should be a really good game, and I'm disappointed that I'm not going. Enjoy your Saturday!
