“No. 5 Georgia vs. Florida on ABC”

My OTA antenna just kept me from being divorced!

LOL, you can pretty much watch any game on YouTube for free. They can’t catch all the people who are streaming the games.

(But you didn’t hear that from me)

Here in my neck of the woods the contract for ABC to broadcast Bama games includes no longer airing it over the air with the local ABC affiliate. And that tends to be the big SEC games that week (ESPN taking over the contract that CBS had for years to have first dibs on that week's SEC game). With Bama doing well this year, and going through a stretch of playing 4 ranked teams in a row (3 of them unbeaten), that meant no air broadcast of the games we wanted to watch most.

Seeing that ahead of time, at the start of football season I started paying for a Directv streaming subscription. Multiple generations in my family get together (usually at my house) for big game Saturdays and it's a family gathering, an excuse to see the grandbaby an extra day of the week, with only one household paying for the subscription. Pretty much like I grew up watching football (it was very much a social affair instead of just sitting solo and cheering on the game). With only one of us paying for the subscription (unfortunately the closest we can get to free TV like we used to watch the games). The only other thing is I set my mesh Wi-fi to give my Roku device priority on network traffic (cat videos on your phone aren't allowed to interfere with streaming the game LOL).
