We had plenty of fun at Tennessee and Virginia Tech’s expense for playing in the Battle at Bristol, but in terms of compelling football television, the much-ballyhooed event was a resounding success. Add to it the channel changing back and forth with the Arkansas-TCU matchup last week and last Saturday night’s college football primetime was loads of fun.
On its face, Week 3 appears dead set to deliver even more high drama, with four games featuring both opponents in the top 25. Further, the noon flight already includes appointment viewing, as No. 2 FSU and No. 10 Louisville commence right after College Gameday ends (it’s on ABC, by the way).
