There is only one game featuring ranked opponents in Week 12, but that won’t stop us from devoting our entire Saturday to watching college football.

After seeing seven games pitting ranked opponents against each other the last two weeks and after seeing a total of nine ranked opponents lose over the last two weeks, college football Week 12’s schedule will remind us how spoiled we were.

Week 12 is not a loaded lineup of games with Michigan at Wisconsin the lone game with ranked teams playing against each other. Many of the top teams in the country are playing cupcakes this week as they get an unofficial open week as they prepare for the final week of the regular season when conference championships will be won and lost. So if you’ve put off some things you need to do around the house or have plenty of errands you need to do or if you need to visit some friends and family, this is the weekend to do so, because, honestly, you’re not going to miss much.

Having said that, I know there are many who devote their entire day to college football and will have their eyes glued to their TV screen. Because of that, here’s a handy TV schedule and guide to get you through the day so you don’t miss any of the action you want to see.
