ESPN’s College Football Games For Week 2 Including Announcing Assignments

ShareTweet

Week 2 in college football doesn’t have ranked teams facing each other, but ESPN will try its best to hype games for us. You have Missouri’s and Texas A&M’s first games in the SEC. ABC doesn’t have a primetime game this week as it carries a NASCAR race. But it still has a doubleheader at noon and at 3:30 p.m. ET.

ESPN does have a primetime doubleheader so there are plenty of games on the ESPN Family.

Check out the games with the announcing assignments.

Seven of Top Nine Ranked Teams; SEC Debut for Missouri & Texas A&M

This week’s college football schedule of 48 games will include a SEC tripleheader on ESPN, the first SEC conference games for new members Texas A&M and Missouri, and seven of the top nine – and 16 of the Top 25 – teams in the AP poll.

Highlights for Saturday, Sept. 8:

• Missouri and Texas A&M will make their SEC debut Saturday, each against a ranked opponent: Texas A&M will host No. 24 Florida at 3:30 p.m. on ESPN while Missouri will host No. 7 Georgia at 7:45 p.m. on ESPN2.
• Additional ranked SEC teams in action include two games on ESPN3 and the SEC Network: No. 1 Alabama against Western Kentucky at 3:30 p.m. and No. 9 South Carolina against East Carolina at noon.
• An ESPN prime time doubleheader will include No. 3 LSU against Washington at 7 p.m. and Illinois at Arizona at 10:30 p.m.
• The ABC and ESPN2 reverse mirror telecast at 3:30 p.m. will showcase a ranked team in each game: No. 2 USC at Syracuse and No. 19 Michigan against Air Force.
