College football TV Schedule Week 7: There's hell to pay

This Red River Shootout thing, between the consensus No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 5 Texas (Channel 7, 9 a.m.) should be a dandy.
It's always good to put something on a Saturday morning for the kids with the word "Shootout" in the title. They'll be wearing their Davy Crockett coon-skin caps while watching that one.

No. 4 LSU at No. 11 Florida ain't bad, neither. If you like that SEC stuff.

No. 17 Oklahoma State at No. 3 Missouri has a heap o' trouble waiting to happen, too.

No. 6 Penn State at previously No. 18 Wisconsin should be worth keeping an eye on.

Other than that, not a whole lot going on this weekend in college football.

Unless you are prepared for the Top 10* to get jostled around again.

*-We for some reason are using AP rankings in our references, although we're not sure why. AP doesn't mean squat. The ESPNU fan poll (linked here) seems just as logical as anything else at this point.

THE LOCALS:

==Saturday, 12:30 p.m., Channel 7: Arizona State at USC (with Terry Gannon, David Norrie and Todd Harris)
==Saturday, 7:15 p.m., FSN Prime Ticket: UCLA at Oregon (with Barry Tompkins, Petros Papadakis and Jim Watson). Repeated at 11:15 p.m.

FRIDAY:

==5 p.m., ESPN: Louisville at Memphis (with Sean McDonough, Chris Spielman and Rob Stone)

SATURDAY:

==7 to 9 a.m., ESPN: College GameDay eminates from the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, with Chris Fowler, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard. The first hour of the show is from outside the stadium. The second hour goes inisde, with Herbstreit, who's calling it, camped in the press box. It's probably saver up there if there's a pre-planned shootout going on down on the field. Even if it's only with some video gamers.

==9 a.m., Channel 7: Oklahoma vs. Texas in Dallas (with Brent Musburger, Kirk Herbstreit and Lisa Salters). Sorry, kids. Your morning cartoons are pushed to the side for daddy's programs. The ever-conscious Disney programmers would like you to know that your entire kids shows are pretty much wiped out today with all the college ball, then NASCAR, taking up all the time. We suggest NBC's lineup of "Jane and the Dragon," "Zula Patrol," "3-2-1 Penguins!" and "VeggieTales," plus "My Friend Rabbit" in the morning hours.
