College football scores, games, updates: Utah at Colorado, Clemson at Pittsburgh and more

We’ve hit the home stretch of the 2024 college football regular season.

There are just three weeks to go before conference championship week in the first week of December. Week 12 isn’t the most loaded slate, but it does feature two games between ranked opponents and games all over the country that have implications in conference title races.

Here’s what we’re watching closest in Week 13. (Scroll down to follow the action live.)

Time: Noon ET | TV: Fox | Line: Colorado -11.5 | Total: 46.5

The Buffs’ path to the playoff is clear. Colorado will get a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff if it wins its final four games. Its defense should be up to the task of slowing down the depleted Utah offense. Though Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter get a lot of Colorado’s headlines, their defensive improvement is the biggest reason why they are in Big 12 contention.

Time: 4:15 p.m. ET | TV: SEC Network | Line: South Carolina -12.5 | Total: 44.5

Missouri QB Brady Cook is listed as doubtful for Saturday’s game and Drew Pyne is his replacement if he can’t go. South Carolina has won three straight games after its two-point loss to Alabama. Gamecocks QB LaNorris Sellers has accounted for five TDs and nearly 500 passing yards over the last two games and hasn’t thrown an interception.

Time: 7:30 p.m. ET | TV: NBC | Line: Oregon -14 | Total: 52.5

Is this the toughest game remaining on the Ducks’ regular-season schedule? We won’t get into tiebreakers here, but if Oregon wins Saturday night it will likely play the winner of next week’s game between Indiana and Ohio State in the Big Ten title game. Wisconsin enters the game on a two-game losing streak.

Time: 7:30 p.m. ET | TV: ABC | Line: Georgia -10.5 | Total: 48.5

Vols QB Nico Iamaleava is reportedly set to play after going through the concussion protocol earlier in the week. Georgia is out of the College Football Playoff mix with a loss; the Vols’ visit on Saturday night gave the committee an easy out with its placement of the Bulldogs on Tuesday.

Time: 10:15 p.m. ET | TV: ESPN | Line: BYU -3 | Total: 56.5

Your eyes aren’t fooling you. The undefeated top-10 BYU Cougars are favored by just a field goal at home against a team that has a losing record. Overall, four of BYU’s nine wins have come by a single possession and Kansas just took down Iowa State in Week 11.
