NBC Turns Heads with Ohio State vs. Oregon Update

The biggest matchup of the weekend—and possibly the season—takes place on Saturday between the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes and the No. 3 Oregon Ducks . This highly anticipated game will be broadcast and covered by NBC , which has the rights to this significant Big Ten showdown.

On Wednesday, NBC revealed a surprising update regarding its college football coverage. The game, scheduled for 7:30 PM ET in a primetime slot, marks the network's first top-three matchup since 1993, which featured what many consider the "Game of the Century" between Florida State and Notre Dame . Another opportunity in 2024 for an iconic game between two great teams.

The tweet incorrectly ranked the two teams, as Ohio State is No. 2 and Oregon is No. 3, but the significance of this memorable matchup for NBC remains intact.

Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon, is expected to create an electric atmosphere, especially with " College GameDay " hosting its Week 7 edition from the Oregon campus.

This will mark the first time Oregon faces Ohio State as a member of the Big Ten, and the winner of this matchup will have a prime opportunity to put themselves in prime position for the Big Ten Championship, as this game represents the toughest remaining opponent on both teams' schedules.
