FOX Sports' college football schedule highlights: Colorado-TCU, Ohio State-Michigan, more

LOS ANGELES — FOX Sports on Wednesday announced select games for its 2023 college football schedule, featuring top games from the Big Ten, Big 12, Mountain West and Pac-12 conferences.

For the second season, "Big Noon Kickoff" travels each week to college football's top games, previewing the day's best matchups from campuses across the nation at 10 a.m. ET on FOX. The show is followed by "Big Noon Saturday," the network's premier matchup each week and the most-watched regular season college football window across any network for two consecutive seasons.

Noon is ‘Prime’ time

In Week 1 (Saturday, Sept. 2), "Big Noon" heads to TCU and the national runner-up takes on Colorado and Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, who will be making his coaching debut with the Buffaloes.

Week 2 (Sept. 9) is highlighted by another highly anticipated coaching matchup when Coach Prime takes on new Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule in Boulder.

In Week 3's matchup (Sept. 16), Penn State faces off against Illinois in a showdown from Champaign.

Rivalries heat up the fall schedule

In Week 11, Michigan travels to Penn State for a highly anticipated rivalry matchup from State College.

FOX Sports' regular season concludes on Thanksgiving weekend with the most heated rivalry in sports, as the Wolverines host Ohio State on Saturday, Nov. 25. "The Game" is part of an epic weekend of college football programming on FOX and FS1, which also includes a Black Friday triple-header featuring TCU at Oklahoma, Air Force at Boise State, and Oregon State at Oregon.
