What a glorious sports Saturday we have in front of us. Not only do we have a full day of college football, but we also have four MLB elimination games today thanks to the new wild-card format.
Here’s what I’m watching.
MUST WATCH:

Kansas (yes, Kansas) has been arguably the best story of the college football season. The Jayhawks are 5-0 for the first time since 2009 and welcome a TCU team to Lawrence with high expectations. The Horned Frogs are coming off a 55-24 drubbing of Oklahoma and look like real threats to take the Big 12 crown.
