The upsets that took out four top-10 teams last week in college football turned what appeared to be a mundane slate of games into arguably the most entertaining week of the 2024 season thus far. This Saturday conjures up the opposite initial feeling. It’s a schedule loaded with games many had circled for months, including a marquee matchup created by conference realignment.
No. 2 Ohio State faces its first major test when it plays at No. 3 Oregon in a Big Ten game that features major College Football Playoff and league championship implications. At the same time, across the country, No. 9 Ole Miss visits No. 10 LSU in SEC play.
Before that, at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, No. 1 Texas and No. 16 Oklahoma renew their Red River Rivalry as SEC members for the first time. Back on the West Coast, in Los Angeles, No. 5 Penn State puts its undefeated record on the line in another conference realignment-induced Big Ten game at USC.
It’s shaping up to be another impactful day as we inch closer to the first College Football Playoff rankings of the 2024 college football season. Here’s the full Week 7 Football Bowl Subdivision schedule for Saturday, October 12, including game times and how to watch:
