Scatta il grosso della NCAA dal tardo pomeriggio di oggi, ora italiana. Nel frattempo da qualche minuto sono in campo a Dublino, boston College e Georgia Tech.
Alle 18 subito una interessante gara nell’astronave del NRG Stadium tra Houston e Oklahoma, per testare due squadre considerate tra le top 25 di preseason. Alle 21.30 si incrociano altri destini interessanti con UCLA che farà visita a Texas A&M e Louisiana State che affronterà Wisconsin nella cornice del Lambeau Field di Green Bay.
Alle 23.30 oggi puntati sul Georgia Dome, dove i Bulldogs di Georgia affronteranno i North Carolina Tar Heels in un’altra gara tra due squadre considerate tra le migliori “a scatola chiusa” di questa stagione. In tarda notte, alle 2, sarà la volta di un classico come Southern California at Alabama questa volta su un neutro d’eccezione come l’AT&T di Arlington, Texas, per due squadre che hanno avuto una offseason divisa tra grandi speranze e problemini fuori dal campo per i propri giocatori. Clemson, finalista l’anno scorso e #2 del ranking, chiuderà il programma delle gare da tenere d’occhio, scendendo in Alabama per affrontare Auburn.
Domenica infine, altro classico del football collegiale con Notre Dame che sfiderà i Texas Longhorns sempre alla ricerca del definitivo rilancio.
Di seguito il programma completo di questo Weekend.
