It’s already Week 10 of the college football season. Just four more weeks of games after Saturday. Kind of sad when you think of it. Games will be played from Tuesday through Saturday on the various ESPN platforms. With this weekend being the Breeders’ Cup, the focus for the Alleged Worldwide Leader is more on the horses than college football. But games will still be played and we have the list of games that will be aired among the family of networks this week.
Take a look at the schedule posted below on the blog.
Five of the Top Nine Teams & Two Matchups between Ranked Teams This Week
ESPN’s college football schedule for Saturday, Nov. 5, is highlighted by five of the top nine teams and two telecasts showcasing a matchup of ranked opponents:
- Undefeated No. 3 Oklahoma State hosts No. 14 Kansas State at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, ESPN2 and ESPN3
- No. 9 South Carolina at No. 7 Arkansas at 7:15 p.m. on ESPN and ESPN3
