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 hasn’t been the most loaded slate, but No. 1 Oregon did have to survive an upset scare with a 16-13 road win at Wisconsin. And we saw Florida pull a mild upset with a 27-16 win over No. 22 LSU.
Here’s what we’re watching late on Saturday. (Scroll down to follow the action live.)
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.
