The college football TV schedule already got off to an infamous start on Thursday, as ESPN broadcast the Oregon-Boise State brawl at around 1 am EST

However, there are two big games that most seem to be looking forward to:

At 3:30 pm EST Oklahoma State plays host to Georgia on ABC, while NBC has Notre Dame football covered as the Irish take on Nevada.

But the biggest game on the docket is at night, as two top 10 teams face off in the second Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic. Alabama won last year's kickoff game over the Clemson Tigers, to kickoff a season in which they almost played for a national title. This year, the Tide hope to have the same luck against another top ACC team in Virginia Tech. ABC will cover that game at 8 pm.
