The college football schedules are set, and here are ten under-the-radar games which you may want to add to your must-watch list.

College football fans love to watch college football…any college football. But there are some games which every fan just refuses to miss.

We get it. You’re going to watch the Iron Bowl, the Cocktail Party, the Holy War, the Game (Michigan vs. Ohio State for those of you outside the midwest), Army-Navy and all the other big college football rivalries. But every year there are some matchups that are decidedly just as good (if not better) than some of these well known games.

Games that can decide divisions and conferences. Games that can change the course of a college football season. Games that can catapult teams right into the playoff mix…or out.

Some of these little-regarded games involve some big names, while some are just games that are worth tuning-in to no matter the records or the teams. Some of them are David & Goliath pairings that have a definite feel of upset before the season even begins.

So when you’re setting your DVR, calendar reminders and party dates, scribble down a few of these games and treat yourself to some gritty, old-fashioned college football. These ten games may fly under-the-radar now, but have the potential to become huge by game day.
