Opponent Watch: Armed Forces Edition
Who To Watch Pittsburgh at Navy (Sat 1:00pm ET CBS Sports Network) This game is on the same channel just before the ND-Air Force game (fair warning: CBS Sports Network ≠ CBS), so use this as your pregame test to see whether your cable operator and/or bar carries the game. Traditional fans will love seeing back-to-back games featuring option offenses and fullbacks.

Opponent Watch: Red October Edition
Who To Watch Stanford at Utah (Sat 6:00pm ET Pac-12 Network) Stanford is the highest-ranked remaining opponent for Notre Dame, so it makes sense this game would be palatable, if only you can find the Pac-12 Network on your cable subscription.
