Perhaps you’re starting your game day by sleeping in a little. Perhaps you’re working your way through a honey-do list that reads like War & Peace. Wherever we find you this morning, take heart that you have a solid afternoon of college football ahead of you. The early slate of games appears thusly:
12 p.m. | Nebraska at No. 4 Ohio State (FOX)
Nebraska had been on a real roll before last week running into the buzzsaw that is….undefeated Indiana football.
12 p.m. | No. 12 Notre Dame vs. No. 24 Navy (ABC)
It may be time to start talking about “playoff contender Navy.” The Midshipmen are playing great football and are a ton of fun to watch. They’ll meet the Irish in East Rutherford, New Jersey in a game that should be way more competitive than anyone anticipated preseason.
12 p.m.| Washington at No. 13 Indiana (Big Ten Network)
Imagine going from playing for a national championship to burnishing the resume of the national title contender Indiana Hoosiers in 10 short months. Life comes at you fast.
12 p.m. | Oklahoma at No. 18 Ole Miss (ESPN)
The Sooners fired their offensive coordinator seven games into his first season, if you want to know how their SEC journey is proceeding.
12 p.m. | Georgia Tech at Virginia Tech (ACC Network)
A bunch of smart kids watching some dumb football. That’s the synopsis here.
12 p.m. | North Carolina at Virginia | ( CW)
The Cavaliers have been uncharacteristically competent at times in 2024 and Mack Brown has appeared uncharacteristically weary. This one sets up nicely for an upset.
So, go ahead and enjoy your niece’s soccer match, or hit the farmer’s market for some artisan squash. The ‘Dawgs are storing up hate and energy for Jacksonville, and you’ve earned a break.
Go ‘Dawgs!!!
