FOX College Saturday debuted today. Erin Andrews in the middle. Four guys in suits staring at her with their backs turned toward the audience. We will leave some of the more ribald interpretations unstated. But, it’s not compelling TV to watch a bunch of people facing away from you, with a third of your screen space consumed by graphics.

Compared to the gold standard of ESPN’s College Gameday, it feels subdued and sterile. College Football is not the NFL. There is a reason ESPN has held the show on campus for 20 years.
