How to watch the Vols like a pro: GRT’s Week 7 college football TV viewing schedule

The No. 21 Tennessee Volunteers host the unranked but essentially even Texas A&M Aggies this afternoon at 3:30 on CBS. I have no idea why you would be lacking motivation for this one, but just in case, take this medicine:

Also, if you’re interested and can tolerate helpful advice from a Georgia fan without getting the shakes, here are some tips on how to watch college football while listening to homer broadcasts. Don’t worry, there is nothing there rhyming with Bob Fail Root. Or maybe I intentionally tuned it out.

The rest of the day, we’re pretty much rooting for anyone ranked No. 16 or above to lose, with the exception of Alabama because we want their resume to be spotless if/when we beat them and we don’t need them to have an additional loss for a cushion. For the purists, you can also root for Georgia to continuing winning until they come to Knoxville, but in doing so, you need to expect the Vols to run the table. If the Vols lose against Alabama (or anyone else in the SEC), beating Georgia wouldn’t matter because of the Vols’ prior loss to Florida. Me, I’m rooting for insurance. Not that it’s going to matter today, really, because Georgia’s got Vanderbilt at noon.

In addition to Alabama and Georgia, the noon slate features three other teams ranked in the Top 11. They’re also not likely to lose, but noon upsets are a thing and these would be good for the Vols. A Top 10 matchup between No. 8 Oregon and No. 7 Washington will take the national spotlight away from the Vols-Aggies at 3:30, but we’ll be locked in on Tennessee.

The evening slate features three Top 25 matchups, headlined by No. 9 USC at No. 10 Notre Dame. More relevant to Vols fans is No. 21 Missouri vs. No. 20 Kentucky. I don’t know that any of those helps or hurts the Vols, but they should be good entertainment.
