Real fans are going to have some problems this weekend

All over the country on Saturday, football fans will be excluded from watching many of the amazing games that are scheduled.

If you're at one game, you can't watch any of the others. It's only if you are a fan without a team (not a real fan), or a fan without tickets (not a real fan), or a fan whose team is playing an away game (and why aren't you traveling with the team? Not a real fan!) that you might be able to take in any of the following, at least one of which should be a decent game:
Michigan at Notre Dame AND
LSU at Auburn AND
Nebraska at USC AND
Miami at Louisville AND
Texas Tech at TCU (Go Horned Frogs!) AND
Oklahoma at Oregon (Go Ducks!) AND
Florida at Tennessee (Go Vols!).
I'm in Berkeley for the (wait for it...) Cal-Portland State game! (If only it was a Cal-Portland State women's soccer game, I'd be excited. Football? Not so much. Although last year's Michigan-Notre Dame game left quite a bit to be desired, and I want both LSU and Auburn to lose, and while I don't like Miami I don't care about Louisville and I can't root for USC under any circumstances, so perhaps it's all for the best.)

Even Stewart Mandel had to beg for a tailgate or couch space to watch the Florida-Tennessee game since he's stuck in South Bend for UM/UND.
