Find out which announcer pairings will be calling the biggest and best games of Week 12 as conference races near their conclusion.

Last week the schedule on paper appeared to be lackluster. There were only two games that matched Top 25 teams and those were not even that appealing. However, by the time Saturday night was giving way to Sunday morning, Week 11 was already dubbed the best day in college football that anyone could remember. This week has slightly more shine going in with three Top 25 games and serious conference championship implications. However, if we learned anything from last week it’s that there is no telling where lightning will strike and an announcer will call a season-changing moment.

The most intriguing game on Saturday is No. 9 Oklahoma at No. 14 West Virginia. The outcome will have significant impact on the Big 12 champion as well as the College Football Playoff race. ESPN’s lead announcer team will call the game in prime time on ABC.
