Call it of ho-hum or just meh, but the past three weeks of college football have been just that. Nothing against the ACC, AAC, Big 12, or the Sun Belt, those guys have great football teams and produce quality football players. However, when three of the power five conferences aren’t playing, it just doesn’t feel like college football season. Let me explain, in a “normal” year, I will tune into college gameday, watch the boys make their picks, and then at noon I will have a game on from the ACC and B1G. At 3:30, I will switch over to CBS and put an SEC game on. Then at 7:30, I will turn it to a prime time game, whether it’s the ACC, Big 12, Big 10, or SEC. And lastly, around 10:00, I will head over to Fox Sports and turn on some PAC-12 action. Now, that’s how you live on Saturday’s in the Fall- football from dawn to dusk. So far, it’s just been a few conferences playing, and no offense, it’s not the primetime players…but that changes this weekend.
This Saturday the SEC steps up to the plate, and baby, we got a nice line up of games:
*The SEC is sticking to a 10-game schedule, with no out-of-conference games for 2020.
