Best College Football Game on TV Today
Alabama A&M at Jackson State, 3 p.m. on ESPN
The Bulldogs and Tigers are facing off with the SWAC East potentially on the line. Sanders' Jackson State team has lost two straight after a 3-0 start, while Alabama A&M is playing just its second game after losing much of the spring season due to COVID-related postponements. This should be an excellent matchup of dynamic quarterbacks between preseason SWAC Preseason Offensive Player of the Year Aqeel Glass against Jackson State's dual-threat signal-caller Jalon Jones.

Southeastern Louisiana at Nicholls, 4 p.m. on ESPN+/Cox Sports TV
Nicholls, No. 21 in the Athlon Sports FCS Power Poll, entered the season as preseason Southland favorites but has stumbled to a 4-2 start. The Colonels will have a chance to bounce back against Southeastern Louisiana, which started the year ranked No. 11 but is down to No. 23 after a 3-1 start. Nicholls running back Lindsey Scott Jr., who is second in the FCS in scoring with 22 touchdowns, is the player to watch.
North Dakota State at Northern Iowa, 5 p.m. on ESPN+
This is the signature game of Saturday's slate, a game between preseason No. 1 and No. 3. Northern Iowa is down to No. 13 after a 3-3 start, but the Panthers' losses have come by a combined 12 points. Both teams have excellent defenses and heavy ground games, so expect this one to be a slugfest with enormous playoff implications.
Delaware at Delaware State, 6 p.m. on ESPN2
Maybe you're not familiar with the Route 1 Rivalry. It could be because the Blue Hens have won all nine matchups, but this game still gets prime billing. The Hornets are off to a 2-1 start and will have an uphill battle against the No. 7 team in the subdivision, led by dynamic senior running back and returner Dejoun Lee.
