College Football Schedule 2012: LSU meets South Carolina in primetime showdown

The ninth-ranked LSU Tigers are looking to get back on the national championship track. Luckily, in the SEC there is no shortage of opportunity to show your worth, and LSU can do just that Saturday when it hosts the No. 3 South Carolina Gamecocks.

LSU (5-1) is coming off a 14-6 loss to Florida, but can undo much of the damage done in the polls with a win over the Gamecocks, which is seeking its 11th straight regular-season victory. Saturday's game kicks off at 7 p.m. CT and will be broadcast nationally by ESPN.

Elsewhere, the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners renew the Red River Rivalry, Texas A&M looks to end Louisana Tech's undefeated season and Houston looks to get back to .500 against conference rival UAB.
