MUST WATCH:
College football: Florida State at Louisville
Stephen Lew/USA TODAY Sports
Week 3 of the college football season is here, and it gets underway with this key ACC clash between division rivals. FSU is looking for its first 3–0 start since 2015, headlined by a big Week 1 win over LSU. Considering coach Mike Norvell entered the year on the hot seat, that would be a nice step toward some stability inside the Seminoles’ program. Meanwhile, Scott Satterfield’s seat was heating up at Louisville after getting blown out in Week 1 at Syracuse, but a road win at UCF last Friday should at least temporarily calm the Cardinals’ fan base.

LINEUP:
• Southampton at Aston Villa | The Premier League returns today for the first time since Queen Elizabeth II’s death. This match pits an Aston Villa side whose last appearance was a surprise draw with Manchester City against Southampton, who will be happy to get back on the pitch after handing Wolverhampton its first win of the year in its last match two weeks ago. 3 p.m. ET, USA/Universo, watch on fuboTV
• Minnesota Twins at Cleveland Guardians | The Guardians and Twins have been neck-and-neck in the AL Central standings all season long, but a sweep in Minnesota last weekend has given Cleveland some breathing room atop the division. But the Twins aren’t done yet: A rare five-game series starts today that gives them the chance to make things interesting again. 7:10 p.m. ET, Bally Sports North/Great Lakes, watch on fuboTV
• Women’s volleyball: No. 16 Florida at No. 4 Wisconsin | Another day, another high-profile ranked matchup in the world of women’s volleyball. The Badgers are the defending national champions and are well positioned to repeat, but they’ll get a stiff test tonight from a Gators team that has won four straight. 8:30 p.m. ET, Big Ten Network, watch on fuboTV
HIDDEN GEM:
Philadelphia Phillies at Atlanta Braves
The Braves are in the thick of a race for the NL East crown, right on the heels of the Mets. Major League Baseball’s playoff format makes earning that division title a huge advantage, and sitting just one game back means it’s there for Atlanta’s taking. It’ll have to navigate this tricky series with the Phillies this weekend, who are also in playoff position. Can Braves ace Max Fried get Atlanta off to a strong start in this key weekend set?
