Last Saturday was a fantastic day of college football. Top teams played each other in close games like in Ohio State vs. Oregon and LSU vs. Ole Miss. Texas showed why it’s ranked number one with its dominant win against Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry.
With some poor weather coming through Durango this weekend, this Saturday has some more fantastic games that should be appointment television. Many fans complained about the recent reorganization of college conferences, but one thing it does do is create some new exciting matchups between top teams.
