The Friday Watchlist: 11-28-25
It's rivalry week! Let's all hate our rival and root for their demise!
Happy Black Friday! Everyone’s aware that watching the NFL on Thanksgiving is one of the most rewarding sports days on the calendar. What people don’t know is that the Friday after usually presents a good amount of sports action as well.
That’s the case today, as there’s a ton of college football to watch. It all starts with the Egg Bowl between Ole Miss and Mississippi State in the early window. Should Ole Miss win, it’ll essentially clinch its spot in the College Football Playoff. If it loses, though, then not only would it potentially fall out of the playoff, but it could also lose its head coach to Baton Rouge or Gainesville. The stakes are, well, high.
Then there’s Georgia’s battle with Georgia Tech in the afternoon in Atlanta. This game was an epic back-and-forth affair a season ago, with the Bulldogs ultimately coming out on top. While that’s once again the expected result today, there’s always a chance that Haynes King completely takes over and the Yellow Jackets pull off a stunner.
The finale to the day is the Lone Star Showdown between Texas and Texas A&M. There are very few college football games that get me as amped as this one. For the Longhorns, their slim CFP hopes hang in the balance, while the Aggies need to win to make the SEC Championship Game next weekend. There’s also the fact that the two schools hate each other’s guts, which adds in that tension that makes college football so awesome.
So, I hope you all have a great day and that this Friday watchlist provides you with the necessary information about how to navigate your day!
