How to Watch College Football Games Today – Saturday, September 26
Today's NCAA football slate runs 11 hours — from the 12:00 p.m. ET openers through a West Coast nightcap at 11:00 p.m. ET that'll push into early Sunday. The 26 games above span 15 TV networks.
The marquee matchup on the noon slate? #1 Texas heads to Neyland Stadium for a College GameDay clash with #14 Tennessee at noon on ABC, as the Vols open SEC play against the nation's top-ranked team.
Also at noon, Illinois is at #7 Ohio State on FOX, Wake Forest visits #16 Louisville on ESPN/Disney+, and Colorado-Baylor rounds out the window on ESPN2. UCLA-Maryland closes it at 1:30 p.m. ET on BTN as one of the day's tightest scores.
The afternoon opens at 2:00 p.m. with #3 Notre Dame hosting Purdue on Peacock, then the 3:30 window turns into a ranked-team pileup: Oklahoma at #2 Georgia (ESPN/Disney+), #15 Utah-Iowa State (FOX), and #17 Iowa at #18 Michigan (CBS).
The headliner on this afternoon's slate — and the day's tightest ranked-vs-ranked clash — is #4 Ole Miss at #21 Florida on ABC. Fresh off knocking off Lane Kiffin's LSU in Oxford, the Rebels head to the Swamp to face a Gators team riding its own SEC-opening statement win, with both sides protecting unbeaten records.
The 7:00 p.m. block is stacked — South Carolina at #8 Alabama (ESPN), Oklahoma State-West Virginia (FS1, one of the tightest scores of the night), and Kansas State-Cincinnati (ESPN2)/ That’s all before the primetime heavy hitters at 7:30.

#20 Oregon is at #12 USC on NBC, the Big Ten's first ranked-vs-ranked clash of the year and a rivalry the Ducks have owned for four straight meetings. Opposite it, #23 Texas A&M is at #10 LSU on ABC, a rivalry game with its own subplot as Kiffin looks to keep his first season in Baton Rouge rolling.
Don't miss the 7:45 window either: #19 Missouri-#24 Mississippi State (SECN) is another ranked-vs-ranked tilt, with Missouri State-#22 SMU following at 9:00 p.m. on ACCN.
Late night brings one more close one for the diehards — Georgia Tech-Stanford at 10:30 p.m. on ESPN, alongside Air Force-Nevada on FS1. Minnesota-Washington closes the week at 11:00 p.m. on FOX, which will run into Sunday morning.

Week 4 NCAAF Spreads, Winners, Payouts Today on PrizePicks
The tightest spread on the board today is a Big 12 pick 'em: unbeaten West Virginia is just a 1.5-point favorite over Oklahoma State, which enters off its own shocker of a nonconference win over Oregon. UCLA is also only a 1.5-point favorite on the road, visiting Maryland for the Bruins' first trip to College Park since 1955.
The tightest ranked-vs-ranked matchups on the board are tied at 3.5, giving us two electric games to watch. #4 Ole Miss — fresh off knocking off Lane Kiffin's LSU — is a field-goal underdog at #21 Florida, and #20 Oregon is the same number on the road at #12 USC in the Big Ten's first ranked-vs-ranked clash of the year.
Beyond that, single-possession games are scattered throughout the day, including #1 Texas-#14 Tennessee (4.5), Georgia Tech-Stanford (3.5), #17 Iowa-#18 Michigan (5.5), and #19 Missouri-#24 Mississippi State (5.5).
