College Football Saturday: Rivalry Week TV Schedule, Alabama-Auburn, Ohio St-Michigan Game Times, Open Thread

Yes, it's a college football Saturday, but we all know that there's only one game that matters today. The Bruins have all the pieces in place to get their first back to back wins over Southern Cal since the end of the great eight game streak in 1998, and their first win in the Coliseum since 1997. In order to accomplish those goals, the Bruins will have to focus and execute for a full game and not just a half, and for our coaches to have our team ready from the opening kickoff with a creative and adaptable game plan. Do those things, and the Bruins will finish a successful regular season at 9-3 and have all the momentum heading into the bowl season and the home stretch of recruiting season.

But before that, there are still a bunch of others on the schedule. So we can get our game faces ready while taking in some of the early games on the docket.
