    Week 7 of the college football season has plenty of huge matchups. Ole Miss-LSU, Penn State-USC, Oklahoma-Texas, and Ohio State-Oregon are the headliners in one of the biggest weekends in recent memory.

    As usual, Fox's "Big Noon Kickoff" and ESPN's "College GameDay" will be covering the marquee matchups. "Big Noon Kickoff" is going to be on hand in Provo, Utah, as BYU hosts Arizona in a Big 12 Conference showdown.

    "College GameDay" is in Eugene, Oregon, for the Big Ten top-3 clash between the Buckeyes and the Ducks.

    However, one FCS game caught the attention of fans due to the broadcast decision.

    That game is Davidson vs. Dayton.

    While Dayton-Davidson isn't a premier game by any means, the FCS showdown is being broadcast on Facebook.

    Yes, Facebook.

    Of course, fans were in disbelief, and some of the comments were gold.

    "Where can you find the game? Just below your uncle's post about the government controlling the weather," one fan wrote .

    Davidson and Dayton are part of the Pioneer Football League in the FCS.

    "Long live the Pioneer Football League," the fan mentioned.

    "Fire up your AI slop and tell your crazy aunt hello, you’ve got a date on Facebook tomorrow," another mentioned .

    "Excuse me," said another.

    "Was YouTube unavailable?" another said .

    Facebook provides a free streaming option, which is a nice break from services such as ESPN+. One fan said more should follow suit.

    "More FCS schools might need to take this route and stream games on Facebook and Twitter (X) and get off ESPN+ lol."

    The Pioneer Football League also includes Drake, Butler, San Diego, Morehead State, Stetson, Presbyterian, Valparaiso, Marist and St. Thomas.

    In actuality, Dayton is 3-1 and Davidson is 4-1, so this is a game of decent PFL teams, although Facebook isn't an option you see very often. Kickoff is set for noon ET in Dayton, Ohio, at Welcome Stadium.
