Week 13 College Football Game Day Watch Guide

Week 13 of the college football lineup is headlined by Penn State at Ohio State. And really, that’s about it.

The college football season is coming down the home stretch with only two more regular season weeks in most conferences. While next week promises to bring lots of great rivalry week matchups, this week is a bit of a letdown. This is the annual “hide and FCS opponents in plain site” week in the SEC and in other conferences, there just aren’t a lot of great matchups. But, there’s football nonetheless.

Here’s a look at what to watch today.

Early Games

This kick off at 11, of course, with our very own Hawkeyes hosting Illinois. In case you somehow missed it, that’s on BTN. ESPN has #5 Alabama taking on **checks notes** Western Carolina (as I said, this is the SEC’s third bye week). That’s countered in the Big Ten with #8 Penn State at #2 Ohio State on FOX. ABC has #10 Minnesota at Northwestern. ESPN2 has #21 Oklahoma State at West Virginia. Aaaaaand #22 Iowa State hosts Kansas in a game that will not be televised.

Afternoon Games

The afternoon games kick off at 1:30, which is ideal given Iowa will be blowing Illinois out in the second half (right? right???). #16 Notre Dame is hosting Boston College on NBC. At 2:30 CBS has Texas A&M at #4 Georgia. ESPN has #13 Michigan at #9Windiana, who needs to win these last two or lose their hashtag. FS1 has Texas at #14 Baylor. And ABC has UCLA at #23 USC.

At 3, FOX has a big one for Iowa fans. For the Hawkeyes to remain alive in the Big Ten West, they need Purdue to win at #12 Wisconsin. A win by the Badgers officially knocks Iowa out as even a loss the following week to Minnesota would give them the tiebreaker over Iowa.

Evening Games

The evening slate is #NotGreat. There are no games featuring two ranked opponents so here’s hoping we see some upsets.

At 6pm, ESPN has Arkansas at #1 LSU. ESPN2 has Temple at #19 Cincinnati. Then at 6:30, ABC has #6 Oregon at Arizona State. At 7, FOX has TCU at #9 Oklahoma.

In the night cap, you’ve got #7 Utah at Arizona. That’s a 9pm kick on FS1. And at 9:30, you’ve got #20 Boise State at Utah State.

And that’s it. Really. Here’s a look at the full slate.
