2024 Big Ten on CBS schedule, games: Michigan vs. Oregon headlines upcoming slate
As the calendar flips to November, the Big Ten on CBS features some of college football's most notable games
by Chip Patterson · CBS SportsA huge part of the 2024 college football season is the full debut of the Big Ten on CBS as the conference moves into the iconic broadcast spot at 3:30 p.m. ET at a time when the league has, literally, never been bigger. In total, the CBS Sports college football schedule includes five different doubleheaders and three prime-time games, the last of which will be CBS's inaugural broadcast of the Big Ten Championship Game on Dec. 7 at 8 p.m from Indianapolis.
The Oregon Ducks, No. 1 in the national polls, will make their second straight appearance on CBS with a Week 10 game at Michigan. CBS Sports' Big Ten matchup for Saturday, Nov. 9, will be chosen via a six-day pick selection and could feature one of the following games: Michigan at Indiana, Purdue at Ohio State, Minnesota at Rutgers, or Washington at Penn State.
Some of the mainstays from CBS's traditional schedule remain, including a spotlight on the service academies with Navy at Air Force (Oct. 5), Air Force at Army (Nov. 2) and the Army-Navy Game (Dec. 14). CBS will wrap up the college football season by airing the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl on Dec. 30.
Those selections, and the rest of the yet-to-be-determined matchups in the schedule below, will be announced six to 12 days in advance of the games
