College football: Weber State at Montana (1 p.m., Ch. 14); Wyoming at Utah (6 p.m., The mtn.)

MLS playoffs (4 p.m., Ch. 2.2): The first-round game of local interest is, of course, Columbus Crew at Real Salt Lake.

The two teams split during the regular season, however — RSL won 4-1 at home and lost 3-1 in Columbus.
