Someone cut the rope between the two boats and, as a result, seven people died when the fishing boat sank.

#14 MICHIGAN VS #12 NOTRE DAME (NCAAF) - Saturday, 9/1 @ 7:30pm ET on NBC
These two perennial powerhouses have produced arguably the two best NFL quarterbacks of all time in Tom Brady (Mich.) and Joe Montana (ND).

LOUISVILLE VS #1 ALABAMA (NCAAF) - Saturday, 9/1 @ 8:00pm ET on ABC
Less than a week away from the start of Alabama's National Title defense and we still have no clue who's the Tide's QB1. The last time we saw the Crimson Tide, they were forced to bench Jalen Hurts, the season-long starting QB, at halftime and hand the ball over to true-freshman Tua Tagovaiola. All Tua did with his chance in the spotlight was throw the National Championship winning touchdown. Who will get the start against the Cardinals on Saturday?

#8 MIAMI VS #25 LSU (NCAAF) - Sunday, 9/2 @ 7:30pm ET on ABC
