It will be hard to top last weekend in college football, but Week 8 features two ranked games and some other marquee matchups that should make for entertaining television.
No. 6 Indiana and Michigan will meet at “The Big House” for the Fox Big Noon Saturday matchup. Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt will have the call.
In that same 12 p.m. ET slot, Lane Kiffin and No. 18 LSU will take on Auburn at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Sean McDonough and Greg McElroy will call for ABC.
No. 7 Ole Miss and No. 19 Texas will meet for the ABC Saturday Night Football game in Austin (7:30 p.m. ET). Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit will deliver the commentary.
And the final game of Week 8 will feature a Big 12 showdown between No. 14 Houston and No. 10 Utah (10:15 p.m. ET). Tom Hart and Roddy Jones will call for ESPN.
Here’s a look at the television networks and announcers for the Week 8 FBS college football games (all times are Eastern).
