College Football 2023: Week 8 Announcer Pairings

Here are the college football announcer pairings for the best, biggest, and most anticipated games of the eighth week of the 2023 college football season

We’re now past the halfway point of the college football season. Marquee games are on the Saturday slate each week, and this week is no different.

Headlining Saturday’s action is a crucial Big Ten East showdown in Columbus between Ohio State and Penn State. The game will be featured on FOX’s “Big Noon Kickoff” brand and features its primary announcing team of Gus Johnson, Joel Klatt, and Jenny Taft.

At 3:30, Tennessee and Alabama renew their historic “Third Saturday in October” rivalry in Tuscaloosa. CBS will have the game and its primary team of Brad Nessler, Gary Danielson, and Jenny Dell on the call.

Texas looks to bounce back after a tough loss to arch-rival Oklahoma against former SWC foe Houston in their first and only meeting as conference opponents. The game will be televised on FOX.

Finally, the PAC-12 continues its historic final season with another ranked matchup. USC and Utah are desperate for a win to stay in the conference title race. FOX has the matchup, which kicks off at 8 p.m. Eastern time.

Here’s a look at the college football announcer pairings for Week 8 of the season.
