1) Orange Bowl, 4 p.m. ET , ESPN. The regular season ended with two jolts: Top-ranked Georgia lost and slid to No. 6; Florida State (shown here) was undefeated, but stayed at No. 5. Fans fumed about missing the four-team playoffs. Now their teams collide, seeking some sort of consolation victory.
2) Sports surge. There are three more bowls, a pro game and more. The Peach Bowl (noon ET on ESPN) has Penn State and Mississippi, ranked No. 10 and 11. The Music City Bowl (2 p.m., ABC) has Auburn and Maryland; the Arizona Bowl (4:30 p.m., CW) has Toledo and Wyoming. Then pro teams, the Lions and Cowboys, collide at 8:15 p.m. on ABC and ESPN. And there’s basketball all day, including Ohio State and West Virginia, at 7 on Fox.
3) “I Am Burt Reynolds.,” 8-10 p.m., CW. After airing its first bowl game, this mini-network offers a profile of a former football guy. Reynolds was a high school star – “it took two, three guys to bring him down,” a friend recalls – whose college career ended with an injury. “My world was shattered,” he said later. Except he went on to be the No. 1 movie star for five straight years, with a huge life that includeded a plane, a helicopter and 128 horses.
4) “Saturday Night Live,” 11:29 p.m., NBC. Timothee Chalamet hosted this episode on Nov. 11, which was perfect timing: The actors’ strike had just been settling, allowing him to talk about his delightful “Wonka” movie. Boygenius was the music guest.
5) ALSO: At 8 p.m., CBS reruns a “CSI: Vegas” episode and NBC rerunns its holiday episode of “Password,” with Jon Cryer and Meghan Trainor, plus regulars Jimmy Fallon and Keke Palmer. And movie choices include some fun ones – “The Princess Bride” at 7 p.m. and midnight on Sundance and Amy Schumer’s “Trainwreck” (2015), at 7:50 on HBO.
