SEC fans should get ready to see a lot of Samantha Ponder to kickoff the season.
The ESPN reporter tweeted her Week 1 assignments on Wednesday:
Best week one of CFB ever IMO… I'll be calling USC vs Alabama Saturday night then Ole Miss vs FSU Monday night.

Many college football fans are probably agreeing with her that this is the best opening week of all time, especially with matchups like USC vs. Alabama in Dallas and Ole Miss vs. FSU in Orlando. She should probably prepare to hear from some Rebels fans on social media, as they might not be thrilled about having the wife of former Seminoles QB Christian Ponder help call the game. Many of the Ole Miss faithful, however, will probably find Ponder objective and see why she is widely viewed as one of the best in the business.
