College football schedule 2026: What to watch in Week 8, TV channels, streaming
This article provides a preview of the 2026 college football Week 8 schedule, highlighting key matchups and potential upsets. It includes analysis of team performance, quarterback uncertainties, and broadcast information for viewers.
Why it matters
College football is a major cultural and economic driver in the U.S. sports industry, influencing media viewership and regional fan engagement.
Week 8 may not be jam-packed with banger after banger like the Week 7 college football schedule was, but upsets and season-changing outcomes can happen on any given weekend. There's certainly the possibility for some of that on Saturday.
Fresh off its devastating loss to Ohio State , No. 6 Indiana must travel to Michigan, where it will face one of the best defenses in the Big Ten. Quarterback Josh Hoover seemed to injure his throwing shoulder against the Buckeyes, but he wasn't on the Wednesday night availability report. There's a lot of quarterback uncertainty on the other side with the Wolverines starting a freshman.
