College football today: Full TV and streaming schedule
College football today offers a rare convergence of ranked chaos and cord-cutter logistics. Week 7 delivered five top-eight upsets and a scattering of injuries, leaving fans racing to lock in the right channel or stream before kickoff. The slate that remains still carries playoff weight.
Early window power plays
No. 4 Ohio State travels to No. 5 Indiana on FOX at noon ET. Julian Sayin’s shoulder injury has Ohio State scrambling at quarterback, yet the Buckeyes remain favored to keep their playoff résumé clean.
Florida at No. 7 Texas airs on ABC. Backup QB Miller Moss threw three touchdowns last week in Austin, and the Gators hope the momentum travels north.
No. 22 LSU faces No. 16 Mississippi State on ESPN. Both teams sit at 4-2 and need a signature win to quiet growing questions about coaching staffs.
Afternoon block stakes
No. 6 Alabama visits No. 14 Tennessee on ABC at 3:30 p.m. The Vols already own one signature win; another would vault them into the top ten.
No. 1 Georgia hosts Auburn on ESPN. Auburn’s walk-off field goal last week dropped Georgia from the top spot and triggered immediate playoff-math tweets.
No. 13 Missouri meets No. 9 Ole Miss on SEC Network. The winner likely claims the early inside track to the SEC title game.
Prime-time marquees
Florida State travels to No. 3 Miami on ESPN at 7 p.m. Miami’s defense leads the ACC in sacks; the Seminoles must protect a line that allowed seven last week.
No. 2 Notre Dame visits No. 8 BYU on ABC at 7:30 p.m. A win for either side locks in a first-round bye under the proposed 24-team playoff format.
Penn State at Michigan on CBS features a quarterback change: Michigan benched Bryce Underwood in favor of Tommy Carr after last week’s loss.

Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and DIRECTV Stream each carry ABC, CBS, FOX, and most ESPN networks without traditional cable contracts.

FS1 schedules Kansas State-Kansas, while TNT and truTV share Cincinnati-West Virginia, available on Max or Sling Orange.
Upset ripple effects

Georgia’s drop opens a path for Alabama or Texas to host a first-round playoff game if they rebound this week.
Coaches on the hot seat now face athletic directors armed with updated NET rankings and donor spreadsheets.
Injury and depth charts
Ohio State lists Sayin as questionable; redshirt freshman Devin Brown took first-team reps Wednesday.
Michigan’s switch to Carr shifts offensive tempo toward quicker releases and more designed runs.
Florida’s injury report shows two offensive linemen day-to-day, critical against Texas’s front-seven pressure packages.
Playoff math snapshot

Strength-of-schedule models now favor teams that avoided early ranked losses, shifting betting odds for conference title games.

Streaming services plan extended free-trial windows to capture cord-cutters searching “college football today” each Saturday morning.
Viewers tracking multiple windows should confirm regional blackouts before locking in a single provider.
