Saturday is going to be a good day. Why? Well, everyone knows and is anticipating Thursday night’s game against Arizona, but by playing on Thursday, Duck fans can sit back, relax and watch other highly-ranked teams strive to keep their season goals alive. So go ahead, pull that lever to recline back and just enjoy the experience of a perfect Saturday.

When 9 a.m. hits, turn your channel to ESPN for No. 6 Texas A&M at. No. 12 Mississippi State. Of course Mississippi State is following its huge win over then No. 8 LSU, but now they have an opportunity to really make a statement in the SEC West.

Or will A&M somehow get into the top five following the Manziel era with freshman quarterback Kenny Hill? I can’t wait to find out.

As you start to feel ready for lunch at 12:30 p.m., one of Oregon’s conference rivals will be traveling to No. 9 Norte Dame for what looks to be one of the better games of the weekend. That rival is of course, No. 14 Stanford. This game could be the last ranked opponent before Stanford travels north along the I-5 to Autzen Stadium on Nov. 1.

But the great thing about this Saturday is that you, the master controller of your remote, can call an audible. In Oxford, Mississippi No. 3 Alabama will visit No. 11 Ole Miss. But this isn’t a trip to enjoy the sunshine.

This is going to be another SEC West game with many of implications. One of these two teams will pick up its first conference loss in a division where perfection is the standard. Take it easy on your stomach and your attention span because this is going to be a great time to watch some college football. I’d suggest a basic sandwich with your preferred veggies.

At 4 p.m., grab that controller and flip to ESPN for the match up between No. 15 LSU and No. 5 Auburn as the Tigers try and respond to their first test since losing to Mississippi State. During the game though, and especially at halftime, you have two options: Watch commercials (not advised) or watch No. 19 Nebraska take on No. 10 Michigan State at Spartan Stadium. That’s most definitely advised.

But what can you eat during these final games of this special Saturday? Well since lunch was smaller due to the heavy-weight match-ups you had to deal with, I suggest your favorite. Whatever it is, you deserve it. Because this Saturday has been perfect.
