Weekend Watchdog: Tide rides into prime time
Once a season, CBS shows a Southeastern Conference game in prime time. It’s a good one this week.
Top-ranked Alabama, fresh off a come-from-behind win at Arkansas, hosts Florida in a rematch of last year’s SEC championship game.
And the schools with two of the last three Heisman Trophy winners.
And the last two national champions.
Ought to be something worth watching. Even if Tim Tebow is in the NFL.
If that’s not enough, in the late afternoon slot CBS shows Tennessee at LSU.
ABC usually shows prime time games on Saturday, and has some good ones this week also. Out west, Oregon takes on Stanford while Notre Dame’s visit to Boston College will be shown to much of the east. ESPN2 will show the game you don’t get on ABC, except a few western areas will see Washington-USC.

Weekend Watchdog: Danica does Dover
How has Danica Patrick’s season been in the Nationwide Series? Been a long time since she’s raced there.
After appearing in just six of the first 27 races, Patrick heads to Dover Saturday for her fall tour on the Nationwide Series. She should appear in seven more races to close out the season, as the IRL has only one more race to run in 2010.
The flag drops on ESPN2 Saturday at 3 p.m.
Race two of the NASCAR Chase for the Cup will be at the Monster Mile Sunday at 1 p.m. on ESPN. Jimmie Johnson dropped four spots after struggling, but somehow, I bet he’ll be back near the top. Can’t say the same about Clint Bowyer.
