College Football

What to Watch

The games that matter: ranked matchups, conference title races, and your teams. Every game here says why it's on the list, and nothing is added just to fill it.

Your teams & filters
Teams you follow

Their games always come first, then games tied to them: their next opponents, ranked or conference teams they've played, teams just ahead of them in the poll that could lose, and conference rivals near them in the standings.

Conferences you follow
Networks you get

None picked means every network. Games whose network isn't announced yet always stay in.

When you can watch

Games that kick off inside one of these times, in your time zone. None means any time.

All times EDT. Ranks are the AP poll's.

How games are picked

A game makes the list when it moves a conference title race - NovaModel plays out the rest of the season thousands of times with the game going each way, and counts how much a ranked team's chances of the best or a top-two conference record change, more for a game that could go either way - or when both teams are ranked, both are unbeaten, or it's a conference championship or playoff game. Follow a team and its own games come first, then every game tied to it: its next three opponents, ranked or conference teams it has already played (their results change what beating or losing to them was worth), a future opponent meeting a past one, teams just ahead of it in the poll with a real chance to lose, and - once teams have played four conference games - rivals within a game of it in the standings. Following a conference counts its title race. Title races here leave out tiebreakers.
