ATLANTA, Ga. — Saturday marks the official first day of fall and what better way to spend it than watching college football on Channel 2 this weekend.

Channel 2 has you covered with the biggest games featuring four teams ranked in the AP top 25. Here is what you can expect as college football enters Week 4:

No. 8 Notre Dame at Wake Forest, Noon on Channel 2

Notre Dame survived a scare from Vanderbilt last week as it held on for a 22-17 victory in South Bend. Now, it faces a Wake Forest team it held off 48-37 last season.

The No. 8 Irish are off to a 3-0 start for the fourth time in the last seven seasons under head coach Brian Kelly. The Demon Deacons look to bounce back after suffering their first lost of the season to Boston College.

One of the challenges for Wake Forest will be containing running back Tony Jones Jr. The junior made his first career start against Vanderbilt and carried the ball 17 times for 118 yards.

No. 3 Clemson at Georgia Tech, 3:30 p.m. on Channel 2

The series between Georgia Tech and Clemson dates back to 1898, making it one of the sport's oldest rivalries. In their 84th meeting, the Yellow Jackets will massive underdogs against the No. 3 Tigers.

Head coach Paul Johnson said on his radio show this week that Clemson "might be the most talented team that we've played since I've been here."

The good news for Johnson's Tech team though is Clemson has struggled on the road in Atlanta recently. GT has won five of its last six home games against Clemson, including a 28-6 upset over No. 19 Clemson in 2014.
