Alabama at Tennessee Headlines a Loaded Schedule of College Football and the MLB Playoffs
While last night’s Commanders-Bears game was anything but pretty, it was at least an improvement from the Colts-Broncos debacle a week ago.
But now our attention shifts back to the MLB postseason today, with three games on tap after the Yankees and Guardians got postponed yesterday. It’s a critical set of games with two series-shifting Game 3s in the NLDS along with the makeup game in the ALDS. Plus, a new week in the Premier League kicks off and some AAC college football gets you ready for the weekend.

College football: No. 3 Alabama at No. 6 Tennessee
The last time this matchup actually meant something significant was back in 2009, which turned out to be turning point for both programs. Now, Tennessee is out to prove it’s back at the top of the college football landscape, and it could do so by knocking off the Crimson Tide.

HIDDEN GEM:
College football: No. 7 USC at No. 20 Utah
USC has mostly cruised through the first six games of the Lincoln Riley era but Rice-Eccles Stadium is always a tough place to play, especially with a Utah team as good as this one. The Utes will look to shutdown the Trojans’ potent offense and put themselves back in contention for a run at a Pac 12 title.
