The Saturday Watchlist: 10-11-2025
Missouri hopes to make its mark on a national stage, OU and Texas do battle in Red River, and Indiana travels to Eugene to take on the Ducks.
Let’s have a Saturday, folks.
The marquee matchups return in Week 7, starting right out of the gate with Alabama’s trip to Missouri and ending late at night with Arizona State and Utah’s massive Big 12 tilt. Oh, and there’s a top-10 bout between Indiana and Oregon, as well as the Red River Shootout sandwiched in between. It’s going to be a great day.
If you’re new here, welcome to The Saturday Watchlist. This is a running log of every college football game I consider worth watching on a given Saturday. If a game isn’t listed here, I don’t plan on watching it live. That doesn’t mean I won’t pivot if something wild happens elsewhere, but the following are the games I’ll absolutely have on my screens all day long.
