The world’s foremost authority on college football viewership, helping tens of people to clickover from Bama blowouts to more quality games since 2018!
(all times CT because that’s where the SEC West is located)
11 am: LSU at Mississippi State (ESPN) Not the best spot to bring a team that struggles to defend crossing routes or to block people on offense — with a backdrop of morning cowbells. If Leach makes it two in a row, it looks like a long season ahead for the Tigers and possibly a short one for Coach O. Leaving Notre Dame-Wisconsin off the clickovers list here out of protest for it being played in a boring NFL venue. Instead check in on Texas Tech at Texas (ABC), SMU at TCU (FS1) or Missouri at Boston College (ESPN2).
2:30 pm: We’ll have to overlook another boring NFL setting for the surprisingly important matchup of Arkansas vs. Texas A&M (CBS). Clickovers to Rutgers at Michigan (ABC) and Iowa State at Baylor (Fox).
6:30 pm: West Virginia at Oklahoma (ABC) because we expect Tennessee at Florida (6 pm, ESPN) to get ugly. North Carolina at Georgia Tech (ACCN) makes the list because Mercedes-Benz Stadium qualifies more as a soccer stadium than an NFL venue currently.
Sark After Dark: Colorado at Arizona State (ESPNU), Arizona at Oregon (ESPN) and Oregon State at USC (FS1) offer a trio of Pac12 options at 9:30 pm.
