ESPN Announces Opening 3-D Slate of NCAA Football

virginia tech in 3-dESPN immediately embraced the arrival of 3-D TV, and the network's compatible catalog continues to expand. With the 16th edition of the Summer X Games already kicking off on ESPN 3D, the network has also revealed the first three college football battles to air on the specialized channel. In total, 13 games will receive the 3-D treatment, with the remainder of the telecasts to be revealed "as the season progresses." The 3-D gridiron programming culminates with the January 10th BCS National Championship game.

The season's first selections all provide serious inter-conference drama, with a heavy dose of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). In the inaugural 3-D match-up, Virginia Tech from the ACC battles Western Athletic Conference member Boise State on Monday, September 6th. The following Saturday, the Big 12's Ten's Ohio State welcomes the ACC's Miami Hurricanes to the Horseshoe. The third contest, to be played September 18th, pits the Southeastern Conference's Auburn Tigers against their Clemson copycats from the ACC. We'll go out on a limb and say the Tigers with orange school colors win this one. [From: ESPN, via: Engadget]
