ESPN has confirmed that former Utah/former Florida football coach Urban Meyer will be the third man in a three-man booth for college games this fall.

He'll join play-by-play guy Dave Pash and analyst Chris Spielman for ESPN games that air Saturdays at 10 a.m. Mostly Big Ten games.

And the first one could be interesting. Looks like Meyer could be in Columbus for Ohio State vs. Akron. And, of course, he's rumored to be in the running to be the next permanent head coach of the Buckeyes.

Meyer will also do taped reports for "College GameDay."

Rumor is there's already an office pool at ESPN, guessing how long Meyer will stay in TV before he accepts another coaching job.
