This week's college football schedule is lite on the front end, loaded in the middle, and plenty good at the end.
The Big 12 has two huge games of importance. Texas Tech heads north to take on Kansas State in a game that is for first place in the conference. Oklahoma finishes the day when Notre Dame comes to Norman Saturday night which is a must win for both teams as they jockey for position in the BCS standings.
If that isn't enough, Florida takes on Georgia, Ohio State head to State College to take on Penn State, Michigan and Nebraska meet in Lincoln, and undefeated Mississippi State tries to dethrone Alabama.
I'd say that's not a bad day.
Here's a look at who, when, and where the rest of the games will be happening on Saturday along with who is calling the action (H/T to awfulannouncing.com on the announcing teams).
