College football fans have had November 7 circled since the summer, and with good reason. On paper, this has long looked like the best weekend of the season. Some matchups didn't quite hold up—looking at you, Oregon and Ohio State—but others, such as Kentucky and Tennessee, stepped up to fill the void. Either way, this weekend is stacked with games featuring massive 2027 NFL Draft class talent on both sides. Dane Brugler and Dave Helman give you a primer on what you should be watching from a draft perspective this Saturday on this episode of The Athletic Football Show's Building the Beast.
