Black Friday College Football Schedule: Must-See Games

While millions hit the stores for Black Friday deals, college football fans have something even more exciting on their agendas: a slate of crucial rivalry games that could reshape the College Football Playoff (CFP) picture. With only weeks left before conference championships and the postseason, Week 14 delivers high-stakes matchups where every touchdown and defensive stop matters. Here’s your complete guide to the Black Friday college football schedule and how to catch all the action.

Top Games to Watch on Black Friday

From historic rivalries to CFP elimination games, these matchups define the final stretch of the regular season:

1. Egg Bowl: No. 6 Ole Miss vs. Mississippi State (12 p.m. ET, ABC)

Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss squad is on the verge of its first-ever CFP appearance, but a trap game against Mississippi State (1-10 SEC) could derail everything. The Rebels’ defense must contain a Bulldogs offense that’s averaged just 14.2 points over their last five games. Win here, and Ole Miss locks up a spot in the SEC Championship Game.

2. No. 3 Texas A&M vs. No. 16 Texas (7:30 p.m. ET, ABC)

The Lone Star Showdown takes center stage with massive CFP implications. A&M (11-0) is SEC-bound with a victory, while Texas (8-3) needs an upset to salvage its CFP hopes. Critics argue A&M’s undefeated streak came against SEC bottom-feeders – this is their chance to prove doubters wrong. Expect fireworks in Austin.

3. Georgia vs. Georgia Tech (3:30 p.m. ET, ABC)

Georgia’s SEC title hopes hang on this rivalry game. The Bulldogs (9-2) need Texas A&M to lose to avoid missing the SEC Championship Game. Tech (6-5) hasn’t beaten Georgia since 2016 but nearly pulled off an eight-overtime thriller last season. Despite being 14-point underdogs, Ramblin’ Wreck fans dream of another historic upset.

4. Indiana at Purdue (7:30 p.m. ET, NBC)

The undefeated Hoosiers (11-0) look to pad their CFP resume against Purdue (2-10), the Big Ten’s lone winless conference team. Indiana leads the nation in average margin of victory (28.5 points). For Purdue, it’s a chance to avoid a winless conference slate under Barry Odom.

5. Arizona at Arizona State (9 p.m. ET, Fox)

The Territorial Cup could decide the Big 12’s final CFP spot. Arizona (8-4) aims for its ninth win under coach Brent Brennan, while reigning Big 12 champ ASU (8-4) needs a miracle (UCF beating BYU, Kansas beating Utah, etc.) to reach the conference title game. This Desert Duel is a must-watch for Pac-12 transplants.
