Here is a gameday TV viewing guide for all of today’s action. Florida football plays in the same window as LSU-Texas, so be sure you’re working with at least two TVs.

11:00 AM ET

Ohio at Pittsburgh (ACC Network) – Watch out College GameDay, here come the Bobcats and Panthers! I don’t think Corso has much to worry about with this matchup, but since it’s the only one at 11:00 AM ET, it’ll be on.

12:00 PM ET

Cincinnati at #5 Ohio State (ABC) – Former Buckeye player and assistant, Luke Fickell, returns to the ‘Shoe as one of the AAC favorites takes on new OSU head coach, Ryan Day, and QB Justin Fields.

Army at #7 Michigan (FOX) – Army struggled with Rice last week, but if they can limit possessions in Ann Arbor, they may be able to keep in close like they did against Oklahoma last season.

West Virginia at Missouri (ESPN2) – Both teams were unimpressive in the opener. If Mizzou can clean up its mistakes, they should be able to cover the two touchdown point spread.

Vanderbilt at Purdue (BTN) – The Boilers were viewed as preseason contenders in the Big Ten West title. How will the lower level of the SEC stack up?

3:30 PM ET

#12 Texas A&M at #1 Clemson (ABC) – Many expect A&M to hang in this game, but I’m not so sure. Last year’s tight game had a lot to do with the 12th Man in College Station and QB Trevor Lawrence is much more established.

#25 Nebraska at Colorado (FOX) – Colorado has begged its fans to not sell their tickets to Nebraska fans, but Buffs fans are having a hard time resisting a rabid Cornhuskers’ fanbase willing to pay top dollar. According to SeatGeek.com, this is the 11th highest-priced college football game in the nation…so, clearly Colorado fans seem happy to accept outlandish prices from their neighbors to the east.

My friend in Omaha passed along a story yesterday about an undercover Nebraska fan who will be in Boulder attempting to scalp tickets while wearing a Colorado shirt in hopes that a Buffaloes fan will sell cheaper to a “fellow” CU fan. Suggestion to Colorado fans, gouge everyone. #undercoverhusker

Lots of red should be on hand in Boulder to see if the Scott Frost era can take the next step.

7:00 PM ET

BYU at Tennessee (ESPN) – Tune in to see if the Georgia State upset was a fluke and stick around to find out if the Jeremy Pruitt era comes crashing down. Please let Phil Fulmer coach again. Please let Phil Fulmer coach again.

7:30 PM ET

The Game of the Day

UT-Martin at #11 Florida (ESPNU) – I know you didn’t expect any other game…this is a Florida Gators site. Will the running game come to life? Can Franks play a clean game? What kind of sack numbers will the defense put up?

#6 LSU at #9 Texas (ABC) – The Horns took care of Georgia in the Sugar Bowl and need this win on home turf in order to stake any claim to “being back.” It’ll be interesting to see how a more open Tigers offense plays in this one.

8:00 PM ET

Miami at North Carolina (ACC Network)Mack Brown returns to Chapel Hill after pulling an upset in Week 1. Will the Canes trust the young QB a bit more in this one?

10:30 PM ET

Cal at #14 Washington (FS1) – Huskies QB Jacob Eason should help Washington avenge last year’s 12-10 upset against the Golden Bears.

#23 Stanford at USC (ESPN) – Both starting QBs went down in the first game and both backups are getting the start in this one. I’m expecting a low scoring, conservative game. Stanford goes to UCF next week.

Minnesota at Fresno State (CBSSN) – Fleck and Gophers escaped with a win in this one last year, but the Bulldogs should be a tougher out on their own home field.

11:59 PM ET

Oregon State at Hawaii (Facebook Live) – Hawaii head coach Nick Rolovich gets his shot at Beavers head coach Jonathan Smith after Smith raided his coaching staff and attempted to recruit a few Warriors to Corvallis. If that story-line doesn’t interest you, then watch for the sheer entertainment of a lot of points.

Next. Gator injury report vs. UT-Martin. dark

There’s plenty on today. Enjoy and Go Gators!
