We have arrived at the home stretch of the 2024 college football regular season.
There are only three weeks to go before the conference’s championship week takes place the first week of December. Week 12 isn’t the most loaded slate, but it does feature two games between ranked opponents and games across the country that impact conference title races.
Here’s what we’re seeing most in week 13. (Scroll down to watch the action live.)
Time: 4:15 PM ET | TV: SEC Network | Line: South Carolina -12.5 | Total: 44.5
Missouri QB Brady Cook is listed as questionable for Saturday’s game and Drew Pyne is his replacement if he can’t go. South Carolina has won three straight games after losing by two points to Alabama. Gamecocks QB LaNorris Sellers has been responsible for five TDs and nearly 500 passing yards over the last two games and has not thrown an interception.
Is this the toughest game left in the Ducks’ regular season? We won’t get into tiebreakers here, but if Oregon wins Saturday night, it will likely play the winner of next week’s Indiana-Ohio State game in the Big Ten title game. Wisconsin comes into the game on a two-game losing streak.
Vols QB Nico Iamaleava will reportedly play after going through the concussion protocol earlier this week. Georgia drops out of the College Football Playoff mix with a loss; The visit of the Vols on Saturday night gave the committee an easy time with the Bulldogs’ seeding on Tuesday.
Your eyes don’t fool you. The undefeated top-10 BYU Cougars are favored by just a field goal at home against a team with a losing record. Overall, four of BYU’s nine wins have come on a single possession, and Kansas just defeated Iowa State in Week 11.

Final: Clemson 24, Pitt 20
The Tigers survive after a last-gasp interception. They are still alive in the ACC title race.

Just when we thought Clemson was in serious trouble, Cade Klubnik wrestles 50 yards for a touchdown to give the Tigers the lead late in the game.
Clemson 24, Pitt 20
Pitt makes long FG
The Panthers were pushed back on a 47-yard attempt after getting a staggering sack on third down, but Ben Sauls managed to score the long field goal to put them ahead.
There are less than 2 minutes left in the match.
Pittsburg 20, Clemson 17
So this wasn’t a touchdown as the NBC graphic suggests, since you can’t advance a muffed kickoff, but it’s a good start for the Fighting Irish nonetheless, as they have it in the red zone after just four seconds.
Final: Colorado 49, Utah 24
Clemson turns it around on downs!
The Tigers drove to break the tie, but Phil Mafah fumbled the ball out of bounds on fourth down and the Panthers got the ball back.
There’s just over 4 minutes left in this one.
Touchdown Colorado
Travis Hunter previously got burned on a touchdown, but he found the end zone late in the Buffs’ blowout of Utah on a reverse with the game in hand.
Touchdown Pitt!
The Panthers tie things up with just over seven minutes remaining on a pass from Nate Yarnell to Gavin Bartholomew.
Touchdown Colorado
That’s about enough for the Boulder stuff. The Buffs score a short touchdown on a Charlie Offerdahl run and are just a pair of wins into the Big 12 title game.
Colorado 42, Utah 24
Colorado interception
Utah’s Isaac Wilson makes another big mistake, throwing his third interception of the day, this time to DJ McKinney.

Colorado 35, Utah 24
Touchdown Colorado
The Buffaloes find the end zone again with a catch and are run by Drelon Miller. What a play by the freshman to break a few tackles and score the touchdown.
Fumble recovered by Texas!
That could be the death knell for the Razorbacks. The Longhorns simply stuck it out of C.J. Brown’s hands and Texas’ Michael Taaffe fell on it.
There are just over 6 minutes left in the match.
Touchdown Texas!
Just when it seemed like the momentum had shifted to the Razorbacks, the Longhorns responded with an 8-play, 78-yard drive capped by a TD throw from Quinn Ewers to Matthew Golden.

Alabama freshman shows up
Ryan Williams had eight touchdowns this season in Alabama’s game against Mercer today. He has two more in the first quarter (one rushing and one receiving).
Utah Touchdown!
The Utes might still have life in this one. Colorado’s Travis Hunter just got burned when Isaac Wilson went over the top to Dorian Singer for a 40-yard touchdown.
End of 3Q: Texas 13, Arkansas 7
The Hogs are driving to possibly take the lead in Fayetteville. They have the ball at the Texas 37 and are facing a second-and-7.
