WATCH GRID: It's time for the best SEC game
There are other things, too.
Welcome to Week [Whatever It Is]. Here is the Watch Grid, your regular guide to which college football games that might or might not be most watchable each Saturday. As always, it strives for watchability instead of coherence or capability, as will be made very clear in the middle slot:
Already, Ole Miss and Arkansas have arguably produced the season’s two strangest games: the Rebels dragging Nick Saban into the SEC’s wildest shootout ever, and the Hogs losing due to Auburn inventing a new sport. This doesn’t even count the week prior, when Ole Miss beat Kentucky because a guy celebrated a touchdown early and Arkansas brought Mike Leach’s air raid immediately down to earth.
But no one is surprised by this. Producing broken football is a normal thing for the Rebels and Hogs.
Their unions are thus among the sport’s most reliably stupid, such as when their 2015 joyride ended up altering the national championship.
So now that it’s confirmed both teams are good/bad enough in 2020 to do anything, expect greatness.
Actually, how’s this for a bona fide: Pitt’s playing a ranked team, Auburn and South Carolina are meeting, we’re getting a sequel to the Hugh Freeze Meme Game, Central Arkansas looks to go 2-0 against Bobby Petrino so far this season, Gus Johnson has to hype Kansas for four hours, Steve Sarkisian is somewhat in charge, and UNC is a huge favorite at Florida State, yet none of these can compare to Ole Miss-Arkansas in terms of Potential Depravity.
It’s Ole Miss-Arkansas day. What a day.
There’s also another SEC game afterward.
