Where to watch Big Ten football games this week: Full schedule, channels, kickoff times for NCAA Week 2 image

College football fans have had a week of games to acclimate themselves to the latest round of realignment, but knowing where to turn to watch a certain team or league's games isn't instinctive quite yet. 

That's especially true for fans of the Big Ten, which now stretches from coast to coast. In Week 2, the conference's games will be spread across five broadcast networks and one streaming service, a potpourri that has become typical but remains confusing in this era of multi-partner TV and streaming deals.

Fans of the conference's West Coast newcomers in particular might have to look a bit deeper to track down their games this week, but Sporting News is here to help.

Here's where to watch every Big Ten football game in Week 2:
