Big Ten finalizes TV designations, kickoff times for Week 11 games
Big Ten football is a weekly study of chaos because the expanded conference has never had a season until now where its teams extend almost to the Pacific Ocean.
That’s what’s made the 2024 season different than any other, and so as we near the 2nd Saturday of November, there is so much to be determined with the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff now a month away. On Sunday morning, the TV channels and kickoff times for the Big Ten’s Week 11 slate were released, and fans are no doubt in store for another weekend of craziness, Big Ten style.
The Big Ten actually gets going on Friday night this week, with Iowa visiting UCLA at 9 p.m. ET on FOX in a matchup that would never have been a Big Ten game until this season.
Then we move to Saturday, which starts with Ohio State, fresh off its huge victory over Penn State, hosting Purdue at noon ET on FOX. In the same noon ET window on NBC, Minnesota will visit Rutgers.
In the prominent 3:30 p.m. ET window on CBS, defending national champion Michigan will visit Indiana, which is 9-0 and will be trying to keep its dream season alive.
No. 1 Oregon will be featured in primetime, as the undefeated Ducks host Maryland at 7 p.m. ET on Big Ten Network. Of course, there will be some daylight seen at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, as the game will kick off shortly after 4 p.m. out west. Then at 8 p.m. ET on Peacock, Penn State will try to bounce back from that heartbreaker against Ohio State when it hosts Washington.
