If there's even a small percentage of your DNA that loves to watch football, at any level of the game, this Saturday features some of the best matchups of the year. We're not overreacting. Of the 34 games that will broadcast in the Cincinnati region, 20 feature ranked teams, including five games in which both teams are ranked inside the top-25 in the BCS.

Locally the Cincinnati Bengals will be on Local 12 against Syracuse with a noon kickoff. The Ohio State University are a 3:30 PM (ET) kickoff on ESPN, hosting Illinois.

Here is my early television/couch schedule for Saturday.

• Syracuse at Cincinnati (NOON - WKRC Ch. 12, 1012)
• No. 16 Texas A&M at No. 15 Mississippi State (NOON - ESPN, Ch. 30, 301, 1301)
