ESPN is broadcasting two college football games on their network on Saturday, Aug. 25: Prairie View A&M at Rice, and Wyoming at New Mexico State. Oddly, the network is loudly declaring that those games don't count as college football.
Also, a special edition of The Hot Route includes team rankings and previews for the final three teams in the HERO Sports Preseason Top 100: Georgia, Clemson and Alabama. Will Georgia's run game be OK without Nick Chubb and Sony Michel, can Clemson's defensive line carry a defense that's replacing all their defensive backs, and does Alabama's defense have a real concern?
