College Football Week 6 TV schedule: How to binge-watch
Saturday 7:00-9:00
Kentucky at Texas A&M, 7:00 p.m. EST: ESPN
Are you ready to live in a world in which Kentucky is bowl eligible in early October? Perhaps more importantly, are you ready to live in a world in which Kentucky is a playoff contender? Well, make peace with your god, because the Wildcats are coming, whether you like it or not. Their defense is super fun, as is Benny Snell, and I think I’m ready to go all in on Kentucky here. If they beat Texas A&M this weekend, which is no easy task, the only thing standing between them and an SEC title appearance is Georgia in early November.
One sentence sell: You have no heart if you’re not interested in undefeated Kentucky playing at Kyle Field at night.
Auburn at Mississippi State, 7:30 p.m. EST, ESPN2
The easy, I’d even go as far as to say cowardly, pick here would be Notre Dame-Virginia Tech. It’s the ABC game, it’s getting promoted a ton by ESPN, and it’s a top 25 matchup, which we don’t have much of this week. However, I have on issue with that game. Virginia Tech stinks, and Notre Dame is gonna clobber them.
That makes this game a much better option. Both offenses are secretly very bad, and both defenses are not at all secretly very good. It may not be as funny as the Baby I’m Burning game of 2008, but there could be some serious incompetence and panic in this game. Who can turn that down?
One sentence sell: What else are you gonna do, watch Washington hit UCLA with a big baseball bat?
This is the part of the article where I usually talk about the Pac-12 after dark games, but I’m gonna level with y’all. You know I’d never lead you astray, and this week, I’m advising you to take the week off from staying up until 2:00 watching the late games. Cal is going to destroy Arizona (what a strange world this is), Colorado State and San Jose State are both awful, Fresno State is gonna crush Nevada, and Stanford and Utah will still be playing in a 17 overtime game tied at zero when you wake up. Get some rest y’all, we’ve got a big week seven ahead of us.
