Gotta date with a remote control this weekend? We get you, and we're here to help.

The opening weekend of college football is so good this year in terms of matchups that there's a rematch of a recent national championship game and it's not the marquee game of Labor Day Weekend. Missouri vs. Central Arkansas played Thursday night, a 61-6 victory for the Tigers, turned out to be an appetizer, and the schedule only gets batter from there.

We hope you remembered to purchase extra batteries.

Here's your TV rundown. Records are from last season and the listed kickoffs are for where the game is played, so note the time zone.
