Check out which announcer pairings will be calling the biggest and best games, as the college football season enters its tenth week.

Week 10 will build to a crescendo on Saturday night. There are only two games that feature a pair of teams in the freshly released College Football Playoff rankings, and they both kickoff at 8 p.m. ET. ESPN and CBS will have their top announcer pairings going head-to-head in prime time for the first time this season.

For the second time in three weeks, top-ranked Alabama will be showcased on College GameDay and the SEC Game of the Week on CBS. Alabama-LSU is habitually must-see TV and with the limited competition this week, it’s not surprising in the least that the two biggest shows in college football descended on Baton Rouge for the weekend.

CBS will have their first of two doubleheaders on Saturday. Alabama-LSU will serve as the nightcap with the normal SEC on CBS announcer lineup of Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson in the booth and Allie LaForce on the sideline. Longtime ESPN announcer Brad Nessler, who is Lundquist’s heir to the lead play-by-play gig after this season, will get some SEC on CBS reps in the afternoon half of the day-night doubleheader. The CBS B-team will have No. 11 Florida at Arkansas.

ESPN’s top crew meanwhile will jump on a plane after GameDay to what has somehow become the center of the universe in 2016, Ohio. No. 6 Ohio State will try to ease Indians fans pain from extending the longest championship drought in professional sports in heartbreaking fashion with No. 10 Nebraska in town. Unfortunately for the people of Ohio, the last Buckeyes game the announcer team of Fowler, Herbstreit, and Ponder worked was their upset at Penn State.
