“Saturday Night Football” on ABC kicks off its 2019 season with a showdown between the Oregon Ducks and the Auburn Tigers on Aug. 31, two of the sport’s premier teams. Oregon, if healthy, can be a Rose Bowl contender this season. Auburn will have to contend with their usually-competitive SEC rivals in the coming weeks and can be playoff contenders if they emerge from those games victorious.
