NC State football coach Dave Doeren talks about Nebraska coaching job

NC State football coach Dave Doeren skirted a question Monday about his interest on replacing newly fired Scott Frost as the head coach at Nebraska.

Miami (Fla.)'s trip to Texas A&M is the headlining game of a less-than-stellar Week 3 college football slate.

The Aggies' upset loss against Appalachian State last weekend let some steam out of the game, but it's still a game between two teams that hope better days are ahead of them.

Here's a look at this week's college football TV schedule:

Best college football games today on tv

This is it, college football fans. Week 0 and night games on Thursday and Friday have all led up to this point: the unequivocal, official start of the 2022 season.

Now, where to start? The biggest games of the day naturally include top-25 opponents, with the biggest of those featuring No. 5 Notre Dame at No. 2 Ohio State in Columbus. It's not only the coaching debut of Marcus Freeman, but also a reunion of sorts: he played for the Buckeyes from 2004 through 2008.

Then there's the meeting between third-ranked, defending national champion Georgia and No. 11 Oregon in Atlanta. The Ducks are coming off a 10-4 season. Adding to the intrigue of the game: Former Bulldogs defensive coordinator Dan Lanning is making his coaching debut a season after winning the national championship with UGA.

Following that is another top-25 matchup between No. 23 Cincinnati and No. 19 Arkansas. Luke Fickell and the Bearcats are looking to show that their 2021 season — in which they became the first Group of 5 team to make the College Football Playoff — wasn't a fluke. Likewise, Sam Pittman is looking to continue building the Razorbacks into an SEC contender.

Elsewhere, Nick Saban and top-ranked Alabama will look to "avenge" the 2021 season, in which it fell short of the CFP championship, with a cupcake game vs. Utah State. No. 4 Clemson will play Georgia Tech, the start to a rebound year after failing to win the ACC for the first time since 2014. No. 14 USC will begin the Lincoln Riley era with a home game vs. Rice.

All that, and so much more. The Sporting News has all the information you need to tune in and watch:

College football schedule today

Twenty of the teams ranked in The Associated Press Top 25 will play Saturday. The headliner games: No. 5 Notre Dame at No. 2 Ohio State; No. 11 Oregon vs. No. 3 Georgia in Atlanta; and No. 23 Cincinnati at No. 19 Arkansas. Those three games will be nationally televised on the ESPN family of networks.

Following Saturday's games, only one top-25 team (No. 4 Clemson) will not have played. The Tigers will take on Georgia Tech in Atlanta on Monday.

Here's the entire slate of top-25 action for Labor Day weekend:
