WCR Top 25 (and beyond) Weekend Television Schedule

This is a day or two later than my usual Television Schedule posting, but I’ve been swamped the last few days, not that my personal problems concern you in the least. What does concern you is that there is once again a ton of great football games available from a broadcast provider near you. Not as many great games as last week, but they’re still out there. Ironically, the biggest game of the weekend was also the biggest game of this past midweek and is the biggest game of the coming midweek and the Arsenal/Liverpool trilogy makes a repeat performance in London this weekend before heading to Liverpool during the week.

As always, additional information is appreciated and feel free to post away in the comments section if you can provide additional broadcast info, particularly with regards to the WCR Top 25 teams at the bottom for which I have no information. Also, since I get a lot of hits from places all over the world – and this schedule is USA-centric – feel free to post links to television schedules from your country if you are aware of any. Thanks.
