College football TV guide: Week 11 schedule, top games to watch

If you knew at the start of the season that Alabama, Clemson and Notre Dame were all undefeated heading into Week 11, you might have pinpointed the Irish's game against Florida State as this Saturday's marquee tilt.

But while the Seminoles have stumbled, Boston College has climbed to No. 17 in the College Football Playoff rankings and now hosts second-ranked Clemson with ESPN's College GameDay in town. Here's your college football TV guide for a chilly Saturday.

Early window

It's all setting up for a winner-take-all Ohio State-Michigan finale in the Big Ten East. First, though, the 10th-ranked Buckeyes (8-1, 5-1) must win at No. 18 Michigan State (6-3, 4-2) this week (11 a.m., FOX). Meanwhile, Wisconsin (6-3, 4-2) and No. 20 Penn State (6-3, 3-3), teams that entered the season with Big Ten championship hopes, collide in Happy Valley, where one will leave with a fourth loss (11 a.m., ABC).

Afternoon window

Bedlam arrives early this year (2:30 p.m., ABC), in theory to avoid Oklahoma (8-1, 5-1) and Oklahoma State (5-4, 2-4) meeting in back-to-back weeks should both qualify for the Big 12 title game. Only problem is, West Virginia has taken the Cowboys' spot on No. 6 OU's schedule at the end of the season and near the top of the conference standings. Fresh off a shutout of LSU, No. 1 Alabama (9-0, 6-0) hosts a 16th-ranked Mississippi State (6-3, 2-3) team that is allowing just 12.3 points per game (2:30 p.m., CBS).

No. 21 Iowa (6-3, 3-3) opened as a double-digit favorite against Big Ten West-leading Northwestern (5-4, 5-1). Here's a preview of that game (2:40 p.m., FOX). In Ames, No. 22 Iowa State (5-3, 4-2) tries to stay in the Big 12 title game chase against Baylor (5-4, 3-3). Click here for a preview (2:30 p.m., FS1).

Primetime window

No. 2 Clemson (9-0, 6-0) has walked through most of its ACC schedule, but could still come up short in the Atlantic Division if No. 17 Boston College (7-2, 4-1) pulls off the upset Saturday night in Chestnut Hill (7 p.m., ABC). Fellow unbeaten Notre Dame hosts Florida State (4-5), but the third-ranked Irish (9-0) will be without quarterback Ian Book (6:30 p.m., NBC).
