ESPN+ is $7.99 a month and it will give you access to a vast majority of all the SBC games.

It also makes sense for NFL Network to show college games on Saturdays. College football is more appealing than reruns of NFL films documentaries, etc., especially if they can get some of the "good" MWC/SBC games that ESPN may not have room for on their two main channels.
