ESPN’s College Football Games & Announcing Assignments For Week 12

We’re almost at the end of the college football season if you can believe that. It seemed like the season started just a few weeks ago.

Anyway, we have ESPN’s college football schedule for this week and College Gameday’s stop which will be at Wrigley Field for Saturday’s Illinois-Northwestern game. In addition, the Gameday crew of Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard and Erin Andrews will pull double duty by calling the Georgia State-Alabama game on ESPNU on Thursday. Lots of traveling by the quartet there. And you have Herbstreit heading to Texas A&M after College Gameday on Saturday. Nuts.

We have the schedule below.
