1) College football conference championships. Last week’s mega-game saw Michigan (ranked No. 3) beating Ohio State (No. 2). This week’s big one has top-ranked Georgia (shown here in red) facing Alabama (ranked No. 8) for the SEC championship. That’s 4 p.m. on CBS; then we can switch to Fox at 8, for Michigan and Iowa (No. 17) in the Big Ten game.
2) More conference championships. There are five more, stuffed into a crowded day: At noon ET, the Big 12 on ABC, with Texas (No. 7) and Oklahoma State (No. 20); and the MAC on ESPN, with Toledo and Miami (Ohio). At 3 p.m., Mountain West on Fox, with Boise State and Nevada, Las Vegas. At 4, Sun Belt on ESPN, with Troy and Appalachian State. And at 8, ACC on ABC, with Louisville (No. 10) and Florida State (No. 5).
3) “Saturday Night Live,” 11;29 p.m., NBC. After a Thanksgiving break, the show has its sixth new episode in eight weeks. Hosting is Emma Stone, the Oscar-winner (for “La La Land”) who’s now in “The Curse,” Sundays on Showtime. The music guest is Noah Kahan, a Grammy nominee this year for best new artist.
4) “Robbie the Reindeer,” 9 and 9:30 p.m., CBS. Lots of seasonal cartoons are merely sorta-good – including “Reindeer in Here,” which reruns at 8 p.m. on CBS. But “Robbie” is something more: Originally made for British TV (then re-dubbed for Americans), both films ripple with droll wit.
5) “Ladies of the ‘80s,” 8 p.m., Lifetime. Loni Anderson, Morgan Fairchild, Linda Gray, Donna Mills and Nicollette Sheridan play stars from the past (which they are), pretending to like each other during a show’s farewell. Other new Christmas films are at 8 p.m. on Hallmark and 8 p.m. ET on Great American Family. At 7 ET, UpTV has Bill Gaither with highlights from his Christmas music specials; at 8, TBS has the superb “A Christmas Story” (1983).
