SATURDAY AFTERNOON
No. 11 Michigan (0-0) vs. No. 17 Florida (0-0) at Arlington, Texas 12:30 p.m., Channel 7
It’s been tough figuring out who might be playing in this one. Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh didn’t release his team’s roster until Wednesday and as of Thursday hadn’t identified his starting quarterback. Florida coach Jim McElwain waited until Wednesday to announce redshirt freshman Felipe Franks as his quarterback. The Gators suspended 10 players for this game, nine for the alleged misuse of school funds.
Western Michigan (0-0) at No. 4 USC (0-0) 2:15 p.m., Pac-12
The last time the Trojans were ranked this high in the preseason was 2012 — they started at No. 1 but finished the season unranked. Western Michigan won 13 games last season but lost its coach, starting quarterback and top receiver.
