Our Perfect Saturday Slate

• 11:00 a.m. CT — #9 Vanderbilt @ #20 Texas (ABC) – Arch checkpoint vs a ranked defense; Wingo’s WR1 case. Stowers is the TE to log for the 2026 draft.

• 11:00 a.m. CT — Penn State @ #1 Ohio State (FOX) – Talent on both sides of the ball to watch: Sayin with Smith/Tate vs a real defense; chance for Allar/Singleton/Allen to regain some prospect steam.

• 11:00 a.m. CT — #10 Miami @ SMU (ESPN) – Clean read on Beck with Fletcher against a good team; SMU’s tempo gives us usable looks at Harden and Brinson.

• 2:30 p.m. CT — #2 Indiana @ Maryland (CBS) – Road confirmation for Mendoza/Sarratt; freshman Malik Washington can continue to build the résumé if he keeps it close.

• 6:30 p.m. CT — #18 Oklahoma @ #14 Tennessee (ABC) – Aguilar and Brazzell II are rolling; Mateer needs a turnover-free night to keep Sategna/Kanak relevant.

• 9:15 p.m. CT — #17 Cincinnati @ #24 Utah (ESPN) – Sorsby’s efficiency vs a legit Utah defense; Dampier’s dual-threat skills and Bentley’s TE role make for a fun late watch.

Our Perfect Saturday Slate

• 11:00 a.m. CT — #8 Ole Miss @ #13 Oklahoma (ABC) – QB evaluation spot for both Chambliss & Mateer, plus seeing if they help keep the offenses moving enough to let the skill position players around them shine.

• 2:30 p.m. CT — #15 Missouri @ #10 Vanderbilt (ESPN) – The spotlight will be on RB Ahmad Hardy for Missouri and TE Eli Stowers for Vanderbilt. The QBs for both teams will be fun to watch as well, though I’m not sure either are NFL talents.

• 6:30 p.m. CT — #3 Texas A&M @ #20 LSU (ABC) – Reed to Concepcion & Craver on the road in a hostile environment and another rehab opportunity for Nussmeier at home.

• 9:15 p.m. CT — Colorado @ Utah (ESPN) – No other late games today, so this is on the schedule. Two dual-threat QBs in what should be a high-scoring game.

If you’re watching college football this weekend, you might as well do it with a dynasty/draft lens, so consider this your remote‑control blueprint. The four anchors below are the games we’d watch start‑to‑finish to get the truest read on NFL‑transferable traits; the alternates are your Multiview companions—flip audio on 3rd‑and‑medium, red‑zone trips, and when a top prospect is featured.

This week’s lineup is loaded with SEC flavor, plus a primetime clash with dynasty talent everywhere. The challenge wasn’t finding marquee games — it was choosing which ones best balance NFL scouting value, dynasty relevance, and quality of opponent. From Alabama’s bounce-back test, to Georgia–Tennessee’s blue-chip showcase, to an evening tilt that might be the most prospect-dense game of September, Week 3 is all about clarity.

This week’s slate wasn’t easy to lock in. A lot of solid games are bunched together in the same windows, and some traditional timeslots don’t have a clear “must-watch” matchup. That meant making some tough calls — balancing big-name clashes with games that carry high scouting value for dynasty purposes. From bounce-back opportunities and early-season reality checks to WR/CB battles that could shape draft boards, this lineup gives you the best mix of storylines and player evaluations for every viewing block.

We’ve got five straight days of college football and plenty of chances to scout future NFL talent. This is one of the strongest opening weekends in recent memory — headlined by a top-five showdown between Texas and Ohio State, plus another top-ten clash between LSU and Clemson. And that’s just Saturday. Sunday brings yet another top-ten matchup with Notre Dame taking on Miami. Here’s the lineup we’ll be watching this weekend:

College football’s return means one thing for Devy and Dynasty players — it’s time to fire up the scouting radar. “Week 0” might be light on volume, but it’s loaded with opportunity to see future rookie draft picks before the rest of your league even knows their names. From ranked showdowns to late-night island games, this Saturday is about locking in, taking notes, and getting a jumpstart on the 2026 and 2027 classes.
