First, the television schedule and--most importantly--the points spread (thanks to our SBN brethren for making us look good) then (per usual) hit the jump for Slick Ric and your dose of Motley. Should be a relatively good football day--with Alabama ripe to whip Arkansas' ass and Florida/Tennessee on the docket. Clemson TV coverage today starts at 3 on the Fox Sports Network (Fox Sports South is channel 646 on DirecTV for those with that question). Enjoy week three of college football, use this post as a morning/noon game gamethread, and be sure to join us in the gamethread while you watch the CU game. Now for the goodie:
There's no shortage of garbage out there on the Week 3 schedule, which starts slow but builds momentum throughout the day, reaching a crescendo with a compelling slate of evening games, including Florida at Tennessee, USC at Stanford, Notre Dame at Michigan State, and Texas at Ole Miss. Oh, and hello rivalry: BYU and Utah kick off the hate in 2012.
After the jump are your Week 3 TV listings, point spreads, and game day links for today's college football action.

Spencer Hall's Rootability Index: Week 3
College Football Rootability attempts to sort out the most likable teams in the weekend's given matchups for the uninvested fan. It makes little sense, but neither does college football. And we love it so.

Loving USC to roll Stanford tonight? Are you willing to lay 8.5 points with a road team? Before you put money down, compare point spreads and game totals from online and Vegas-based sports books, updating live in real time.
