ESPN/ABC will feature a top 10 team in every game window on Statement Saturday as the two networks combine to carry the majority of Top 10 teams in college football’s week 10. ESPN airs three consecutive games on Saturday, Nov. 3, starring No. 3 Notre Dame in a rare road trip, No. 5 Michigan vs. ranked Big Ten rival, and No. 10 Washington State fighting for first place, while ABC bookends its tripleheader with No. 2 Clemson and No. 7 Oklahoma in conference games.  ESPN will begin its schedule of marquee teams earlier in the week, as No. 9 UCF will be featured on Thursday, Nov. 1 in a marquee matchup in the American Athletic Conference.

No. 5 Michigan Hosts No. 14 Penn State in Signature Big Ten Matchup; Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Maria Taylor at The Big House
ESPN’s impressive slate featuring top 10 teams is highlighted by No. 5 Michigan hosting No. 14 Penn State (3:45 p.m. ET) in a matchup of ranked Big Ten teams. The Wolverines remain undefeated in Big Ten play, the only team in the conference able to make that claim. Overall, Michigan rides a seven-game winning streak into the matchup, while the Nittany Lions will be looking for a marquee conference victory, having lost two conference games by a combined five points. Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Maria Taylor will be at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich. for the call of the pivotal game.

Undefeated No. 3 Notre Dame Makes First Trip to Northwestern’s Campus in More than 40 Years
In prime time, ESPN will televise No. 3 Notre Dame, one of four undefeated teams in the FBS, as, for the first time since 1976, the Fighting Irish travel to Evanston, Ill., to face Northwestern (7 p.m.). Notre Dame has faced the Wildcats twice in Chicago since ‘76, but this year’s matchup will be at Ryan Field, Northwestern’s traditional home. Sean McDonough, Todd Blackledge and Holly Rowe will be on the call.

No. 9 UCF Faces Temple for First Place on Thursday; No. 10 Washington State Concludes ESPN’s Saturday Slate
ESPN will bookend its run of Top 10 teams beginning with No. 9 UCF hosting Temple on Thursday, Nov. 1 (7:30 p.m.),  and then No. 10 Washington State welcoming in Cal (10:45 p.m.) to conclude Saturday’s slate. The Knights look to extend the nation’s longest winning streak, but will host Temple, who is also undefeated in conference play. For the Cougars, they look to stay alone atop the Pac-12 North standings. Dave Flemming, Gene Chizik, Dusty Dvoracek and Laura Rutledge will be in Orlando, Fla., while Dave Pasch, Greg McElroy, and Tom Luginbill will be in Pullman, Wash.
