Seven Saturdays into the season, and this is by far the best one for the Vols to be off. Not only do we get to enjoy Georgia and rest up before Alabama for an extra week, you get to feast your eyes on the following:
- The noon slate obliterates all other noon slates this year. #13 Ole Miss is at the Liberty Bowl and #17 Iowa is at #20 Northwestern on an ABC/ESPN2 split. Undefeated Florida State and undefeated Baylor could get tests from Louisville (ESPN) and West Virginia (Fox) respectively.
- At 3:30, #7 Michigan State is at #12 Michigan on ESPN, and the #10 Crimson Tide are at #9 Texas A&M on CBS in what should be a pair of playoff elimination games.
