Find out which announcer pairings will be on the call for the premier games in college football during Week 8.
The SEC will take center stage this weekend just the way they like it. All three of the Week 8 games that feature two teams in the AP Top 25 will weigh heavily on the SEC Championship race. The announcer crews are as you would expect for a weekend such as this.
The game of the week, at least on paper, is No. 6 Texas A&M at No. 1 Alabama. With it being the only matchup of Top 10 teams in Week 8, unsurprisingly, CBS and ESPN both wanted a piece of the action. College GameDay will be in Tuscaloosa for the first time this season. The SEC on CBS announcer team of Verne Lundquist, Gary Danielson, and Allie LaForce will be broadcasting an Alabama game for the second consecutive week and an A&M game for the second time in three weeks.
With that game taken, ABC’s primetime game will feature Ohio State for the second straight week. The No. 2 Buckeyes are at Penn State.
ESPN filled out their primetime with the two other ranked SEC games. Joe Tessitore and company take the earlier of the two with No. 17 Arkansas at No. 21 Auburn kicking off at 6 p.m. ET. Brent Musburger is getting a temporary reprieve from his exile of calling Mizzou getting blown out in afternoon games on SEC Network. His crew has the 9 p.m. game between No. 23 Ole Miss and No. 25 LSU with a healthy Leonard Fournette.
A pair of under-the-radar undefeated teams will continue to fly under the radar because of what they are going up against. The Worldwide Leader is counterprogramming the juggernaut CBS has this week with No. 8 Nebraska-Purdue and No. 12 West Virginia-TCU. They will either be on ABC or ESPN2 depending on your region.
