When Auburn and Baylor battle it out on Friday night in Waco, Texas, fans watching it at home might sense a little bit of homerism when it comes to one of the announcers.
For some reason, FOX Sports has announced that Robert Griffin III will be making his debut on the network during the showdown between the Tigers and Bears. What's the problem with that? If you need a refresher course, Griffin was a star quarterback for Baylor from 2008 to 2011, capping his senior season off by winning the Heisman Trophy.
Sure, there will be times when an announcer will be calling the game of their alma mater, but this seems like a reach by FOX to put Griffin on the Friday night game.
Very timely for @CFBONFOX to announce @RGIII’s debut as the color analyst for this Friday’s @AuburnFootball at @BUFootball. @jasonbenetti and @alexalandestoy also with the call at McLane Stadium.

Needless to say, Auburn fans aren't exactly excited about hearing a former Baylor player call the game.

Since this is happening, let's go ahead and predict which alum will be calling the game of Auburn's other opponents.
Ball State: Yep, ESPN is bringing in David Letterman and the Boom Goes the Dynamite guy!
South Alabama: Major Applewhite calls the game while coaching it.
Oklahoma: Is Jalen Hurts available that weekend?
Texas A&M: Reveille
Georgia: Aaron Murray, who is still bitter about the 2010 game.
Missouri: ESPN's John Anderson and Pat Forde
Arkansas: John Daly
Kentucky: The entire team at Kentucky Sports Radio
Vanderbilt: Diego Pavia's family
Mercer: The Golf Channel's Tom Abbott
Alabama: Gary Danielson, for obvious reasons.
