ESPN’s College Football Games & Announcing Assignments For Week 6

We have the ESPN family of networks college football games for this week plus College Gameday location for Saturday. It’s back to the SEC for ESPN as it will be in Columbia, South Carolina for the Alabama-South Carolina game and it marks the first time this season that it won’t be either an ESPN or ABC game. CBS will air it as part of its SEC package. So you’ll see Kirk Herbstreit pick the game without any reservation.

So here are the games on the ESPN family networks including the reverse mirror at 3:30 p.m. and 8 p.m.
