College football

Appalachian State vs. Delaware 8 p.m. [ESPN2]

In the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) Championship, Appalachian State (12-2) is going for a three-peat national title against Delaware (11-3), no stranger to national championship games itself. The Blue Hens won this thing in 2003. And remember that both of these teams this season have beaten big-timers who are going to bowl games themselves. The Mountaineers have that historic victory over Michigan, and Delaware outscored Navy in a shootout.

NBA

Magic@Bobcats 8 p.m. [ESPN]

Why anyone would watch this over the college football game is beyond me, but for folks who can't get enough hoops, the Southeast Division-leading Magic plays a divisional game against the Bobcats. Actually, Orlando has hit a little rough patch here, having lost its past three. Well, it's a chance to see Magic big man Dwight Howard in action.
