Week 8 of the 2021 college football season brings another action-packed Saturday of games that features eight of the top 10 teams in headlining throughout the day. While this is the first week of the season that doesn’t include any games between ranked teams, there is plenty of potential for chaos as we get into the second half of what’s already been a wild season.
In Saturday’s noon ET slate, some ranked favorites found themselves in a bit of trouble. No. 2 Cincinnati and No. 3 Oklahoma fought to stave off upsets from Navy and Kansas, respectively. No. 7 Penn State was upset by Illinois in a record nine overtimes and No. 6 Michigan took care of Northwestern. Arguably the best matchup in the early window, however, came when No. 16 Wake Forest and Army played basketball on a football field in a high-scoring affair on CBS Sports Network.
Among the afternoon highlights are No. 12 Ole Miss hosting LSU on CBS, No. 8 Oklahoma State traveling to Iowa State and No. 10 Oregon playing at UCLA in a critical Pac-12 game. Finally, in the evening window, No. 4 Alabama will take on Tennessee and No. 5 Ohio State will travel to Indiana.
CBS Sports will be here every step of the way to update you with the latest scores, highlights and storylines throughout the night. All times Eastern
