The Big 10 will headline this week’s college football broadcast schedule on the ESPN networks.
No. 18 Michigan and No. 21 Minnesota will represent the conference on ABC’s Saturday Night Football presented by Capital One. The game is the official return for the Big 10 after the conference’s play was delayed as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, and Maria Taylor will have the call for the game, which is just one of many games to feature Top 25 teams throughout the day Saturday. No. 1 Clemson will host Syracuse at noon on the ACC Network, while American Athletic Conference foes No. 9 Cincinnati and No. 16 SMU are scheduled to play at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
Independent No. 12 BYU and Texas State are scheduled to close out the day’s schedule with a 10:15 p.m. ET game on ESPN.
The weekend’s schedule is set to open at 7:30 p.m. tonight on ESPN as Sun Belt Conference foes Arkansas State and Appalachian State face off in Boone, NC.
