We’ve hit the home stretch of the 2024 college football regular season.
There are just three weeks to go before conference championship week in the first week of December. Week 12 isn’t the most loaded slate, but it does feature plenty of matchups that could impact conference title races.
Here’s what we’re watching close late on Saturday. (Scroll down to follow the action live.)
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET | TV: NBC | Line: Oregon -14 | Total: 52.5
Is this the toughest game remaining on the Ducks’ regular-season schedule? We won’t get into tiebreakers here, but if Oregon wins Saturday night it will likely play the winner of next week’s game between Indiana and Ohio State in the Big Ten title game. Wisconsin enters the game on a two-game losing streak.
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET | TV: ABC | Line: Georgia -10.5 | Total: 48.5
Vols QB Nico Iamaleava is reportedly set to play after going through the concussion protocol earlier in the week. Georgia is out of the College Football Playoff mix with a loss; the Vols’ visit on Saturday night gave the committee an easy out with its placement of the Bulldogs on Tuesday.
Time: 10:15 p.m. ET | TV: ESPN | Line: BYU -3 | Total: 56.5
Your eyes aren’t fooling you. The undefeated top-10 BYU Cougars are favored by just a field goal at home against a team that has a losing record. Overall, four of BYU’s nine wins have come by a single possession and Kansas just took down Iowa State in Week 11.
