We’re getting close to the end of the college football regular season. After this weekend, there’s the traditional Thanksgiving rivalry games, then the conference championship games and finally, the Army-Navy game before heading into the inexorable Bowl season in December. Anyway, Saturday Night Football on ABC will have a split national broadcast between Oklahoma and Baylor and USC at Oregon. Brent Musburger, Kirk Herbstreit and Erin Andrews will be in the Great Northwest to cover Trojans-Ducks. It’ll be the second straight Pac-12 game for the crew.
ESPN will carry the Oklahoma State-Iowa State game on Friday and the first-ever Nebraska-Michigan Big Ten Conference game will be aired on ESPN, Saturday at noon ET.
The entire schedule is below.
