College football schedule today: Full TV coverage for Week 8 top 25, Big Ten games image

Week 8 marks another milestone in the 2020 college football season.

The Big Ten will play football for the first time in 2020 after postponing its season on Aug. 11 — the first Power 5 conference to do so amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The Week 8 slate of games marks the first of eight consecutive weeks those teams will play without a bye before the conference's championship game.

That starts on Friday, when Illinois travels to Madison, Wis., to take on No. 14 Wisconsin; but the biggest games to watch are the noon matchup between No. 5 Ohio State and Nebraska and the ranked matchup between No. 18 Michigan and No. 21 Minnesota in Minneapolis.

The Big Ten will draw the biggest headlines this week — barring any massive upsets — but other games of note include the "Third Saturday in October" between No. 2 Alabama and Tennessee; No. 23 N.C. State at No. 14 North Carolina; No. 17 Iowa State at No. 6 Oklahoma State; and No. 9 Cincinnati at No. 16 SMU.

Below is everything you need to watch the full Week 8 slate of games, including time and TV channel, for every top-25, Power 5 and Big Ten game:
