College Football Announcer Schedule: Broadcasters for notable Week 11 games
On3.com

Just a few more weeks remain in the 2025 season, and things are getting interesting. Week 11 is another opportunity for teams to cement themselves in the College Football Playoff race, and the announcer schedule is in place.

One of the most notable games of the week is Friday night where Tulane and Memphis will square off in what’s essentially a CFP eliminator. The Tigers were the Group of 6 representative in the projected 12-team bracket on Tuesday, but they didn’t appear in the Top 25 rankings. A win would go a long way toward helping either team reach the field as the G6 representative.
