Welcome to the late shift where the interesting games of the opening Saturday of college football live.
Let’s start with the clear headliner, which is the matchup between the #11 Oregon Ducks and the #16 Auburn Tigers. This is the clear highlight game of the entire weekend as it’s the only game between two teams ranked in the AP Top 25. Putting the game at Jerry World in Dallas (Yes, I know that’s neither the name of the stadium or the city it’s located in. Just let me have this.) is another sign of how big this game is, especially to both teams and their hypothetical national championship aspirations.
