The Saturday Watchlist: 11-29-25
All our hopes and dreams depend on what happens during rivalry week.
The final Saturday of the college football regular season is here. That’s obviously bittersweet, but the good news is that the day is filled with intense rivalry matchups that will fill all our hearts with joy — so long as your favorite team wins, of course.
Yesterday we saw several good rivalry contests like the Egg Bowl (Ole Miss-Mississippi State), Good Old Fashioned Hate (Georgia-Georgia Tech), and the Lone Star Showdown (Texas A&M-Texas). All that continues today with The Game (Ohio State-Michigan), the Iron Bowl (Alabama-Auburn), and so much more. It should be a great time.
Today’s Saturday Watchlist is no where near an exhaustive list. There are tons of rivalry games to choose from today — these are just the ones I have pegged as potential fun games. If your favorite team isn’t listed, I promise that I mean no slight.
Here’s The Saturday Watchlist for November 29, 2025.
