Texas State at UL Lafayette | 7:30 PM | ESPNU | It's football | Live | An entertaining game |

(2) Clemson at Syracuse | 7:00 PM | ESPN | It's football | Live | Anything that would make it more difficult for Clemson to recruit |
(8) Washington State at California | 10:30 PM | ESPN | It's football | Live | Mike Leach to say something interesting |
On one hand, Clemson is, like, stealing our players, man. On the other, they may be a bit of a blueprint on how to turn things around. So, your call. And this is a friendly reminder that Mike Leach is at Washington State and is the World’s Most Interesting College Football Coach.
Gameday, October 14
Be in Neyland Stadium early this Saturday for a noon kickoff against the South Carolina Gamecocks. What will happen? Who knows! But have fun.

Noon slot
Go Vols.
Afternoon slot
At 3:30, the Red River Rivalry will be the national draw, but we’re hoping that Georgia Tech continues to look good, and then we’re also getting looks at future opponents LSU, who hosts #10 Auburn, and Vanderbilt, who travels to Ole Miss.
Evening slot
The best game to watch here is probably Missouri at #4 Georgia on the SEC Network, as we can get a look at both a future opponent in Missouri and a past opponent in Georgia, but channel hop between that and Texas A&M at Florida and Arkansas at Alabama, too. Remember, Alabama’s next week for the Vols.
