As you may or may not know, NBC Sports is planning to expand their college football coverage this fall, with the addition of Big Ten Football in addition to their broadcasts of Notre Dame home games.

With 30+ games on NBC Sports' schedule, that means NBC adds an expanded group of commentators to handle the additional workload of more games.

So on Wednesday, NBC Sports announced their commentator lineup for their college football coverage this fall.

Below are NBC's commentary teams for college football, with more announcers to be added as the season progresses (and circumstances dictate):
  • Noah Eagle (play-by-play), Todd Blackledge (analyst) & Kathryn Tappen (reporter) -- Big Ten Saturday Night
  • Jac Collinsworth (play-by-play), Jason Garrett (analyst) & Zora Stephenson (reporter) -- Notre Dame and select Big Ten football games
  • Mike Tirico (play-by-play), Chris Simms (analyst) & Lewis Johnson (reporter) -- East Carolina vs. Michigan (Week 1), as Big Ten season officially opens up one month from today, September 2 on Peacock (12 p.m. ET)
  • To supplement Eagle, Blackledge, Tappen, Collinsworth, Garrett & Stephenson, NBC will summon additional commentators for the Big Ten games including -- Brendan Burke (play-by-play), Paul Burmeister (play-by-play), Andrew Siciliano (play-by-play), Kyle Rudolph (analyst), Anthony Herron (analyst), Michael Robinson (analyst), Joshua Perry (analyst) & Caroline Pineda (reporter).

Nicole Auerbach, someone who possesses a decade-plus amount of experience covering college athletics (CFB and CBB), joins NBC Sports as a lead college football insider. She will appear on B1G College Countdown, NBC's pregame for the Big Ten Saturday Night games.

NBC Sports' Sunday Night Football rules analyst Terry McAulay, a referee in 17 of his 20 seasons as an on-field official, and Reggie Smith, a former Big Ten referee (along with time in the Big 12) serve as NBC's official rules analysts on college football this season.

* The Big Ten on CBS kicks off on Saturday, September 2 (3:30 PM, ET) with Ohio State at Indiana; CBS to air seven Big Ten games in 2023 before the Big Ten takes over the 3:30 PM, ET window permanently in 2024 (replacing the SEC).

For the first time ever, I will keep track of CBS Sports' coverage of college football! I am very excited to announce this new project, alongside the introduction of NBC Sports' coverage of college football to my blog. I am looking for new things to cover, and I kinda figured this will be the logical next step.

CBS has announced their early game selections and broadcast windows for their coverage of the SEC, Mountain West, and the Big Ten during the upcoming 2023 college football season.

As a side note, CBS unfortunately is beginning their final season with rights to the Southeastern Conference (SEC), before ESPN/ABC become the exclusive broadcasters of the conference starting with the 2024 season.

CBS has 28 games on their broadcast network in 2023, including regular season games, the SEC Championship, the annual Army/Navy game, and the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl, just to highlight a few things.

CBS begins yet another season of televising college football with a doubleheader on Saturday, September 2 - during the season's opening weekend - Ohio State at Indiana (3:30 PM, ET) followed by Texas Tech at Wyoming (7:30 PM, ET). In fact, these are just two of the four games that the CBS broadcast network will be televising on Labor Day Weekend.

The following day, Sunday, September 3, CBS' opening weekend of college football coverage continues with two more games. Up first, Northwestern visits Rutgers (12:00 PM, ET) serving as a lead-in to the Oregon State at San Jose State game (3:30 PM, ET).

Beginning with the Ohio State-Indiana game (Sept. 2), CBS Sports begins their relationship with the Big Ten Conference in terms of showing their football season. CBS has seven games/windows for Big Ten football in 2023 before CBS clears out their schedule in 2024 for a full season of Big Ten football at 3:30 PM, ET (replacing the network's current marquee SEC game).

Other Big Ten on CBS schedule highlights include: two-time defending Big Ten champion Michigan hosting UNLV on Saturday, September 9 (3:30 PM, ET) and Penn State hosting Iowa in the Nittany Lion's annual White Out contest in primetime on Saturday, September 23 (7:30 PM, ET).

As a added bonus, CBS has Big Ten football slated for Saturday, October 28 and Saturday, November 4, both beginning at 12:00 PM, ET.

The Texas Tech-Wyoming game (Sept. 2) is the first of three Mountain West games planned on the CBS broadcast network in 2023. CBS also has the previously mentioned Oregon State-San Jose State game (Sept. 3) and a game between San Diego State and UCLA on Saturday, September 9 (7:30 PM, ET).

The final season of the "SEC on CBS" package begins on Saturday, September 16 (3:30 PM, ET) when two-time defending champion Georgia hosts South Carolina.

CBS will once again air the annual Georgia-Florida rivalry on Saturday, October 28 (3:30 PM, ET) from Jacksonville. Plus, a Missouri and Arkansas Black Friday contest gets national treatment on CBS (Friday, November 24; 4 PM, ET).

Furthermore, CBS has two SEC doubleheaders planned -- an afternoon doubleheader on Saturday, October 14 and a primetime doubleheader on Saturday, November 4.

The 2023 college football schedule on CBS has two Commander-in-Chief's Trophy games, with Air Force at Navy on Saturday, October 21 (12:00 PM, ET) and the annual Army vs. Navy game from Gillette Stadium in Foxborough on Saturday, December 9 (3:00 PM, ET).

The 2023 schedule on CBS concludes on Friday, December 29, with the network's presentation of Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl at 2:00 PM, ET.

With that in mind, CBS' 2023 college football schedule is attached below. Announcers will be provided on a regular basis throughout the year.

2023 College Football on NBC and Peacock Schedule

* For the first time in this blog's nearly decade-long history (!!), the college football game/broadcast schedule for NBC Sports will be tracked.

* NBC Sports adds to the college football portfolio in 2023 with "Big Ten Saturday Night", a Big Ten game slated for Saturday primetime broadcast on NBC and Peacock.

* NBC's 2023 college football schedule begins on Saturday, August 26, with Notre Dame's home opener in Dublin, Ireland to face off with Navy (2:30 p.m. ET on NBC & Peacock).

* The first-ever edition of "Big Ten Saturday Night" takes place on Saturday, September 2 as Penn State hosts West Virginia (7:30 p.m. ET on NBC & Peacock); Note -- "Big Ten Saturday Night" games will be preceded by a pregame show called "B1G College Countdown" (more details to be provided about that later).

Hey, everyone! I have some really, exciting news to share with you all. For the first time EVER, I have decided to expand my college football offerings besides games airing on FOX and FS1. I will now be tracking college football games to be aired on the NBC broadcast network and Peacock, beginning with the 2023 season this fall.

NBC begins their 33rd season covering the home games of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Notre Dame's home schedule is highlighted by primetime affairs with Ohio State (Saturday, Sept. 23) and longtime rival USC (Saturday, Oct. 14). Both games will kick off at 7:30 p.m. (ET) on NBC and streaming on Peacock.

The Fighting Irish plays host to Ohio State on Saturday, September 23 at 7:30 p.m. (ET) on NBC and Peacock. The Buckeyes lead the all-time series 5-2 and will play their first game at Notre Dame Stadium since 1996.

Later in the season, Notre Dame welcomes USC in another edition of the greatest intersectional college football rivalry on Saturday, October 14 at 7:30 p.m. (ET) on NBC and Peacock. Since 1926, USC and Notre Dame have played each other in most seasons. As of 2023, Notre Dame leads the all-time series 50-37-5.

Peacock is planning to exclusively broadcast a game on Saturday, September 16, when Notre Dame hosts Central Michigan at 2:30 p.m. (ET). This will mark the first-ever meeting between these two schools.

NBC begins coverage of Notre Dame's 2023 season on Saturday, August 26, at 2:30 p.m. (ET) on NBC and Peacock, when the Fighting Irish pay a visit to Dublin, Ireland to clash with the Navy Midshipmen at Aviva Stadium. Following a close 35-32 win in Baltimore, Maryland last season, Notre Dame owns an 81-13-1 advantage in the all-time series.

In addition to the previously announced Notre Dame games, NBC Sports plans to present live coverage from Notre Dame Stadium for the Fighting Irish's home games against Tennessee State on Saturday, September 2, at 3:30 p.m. (ET) - Notre Dame's first-ever competition versus a HBCU, versus Pittsburgh on Saturday, October 28 at 3:30 p.m. (ET), and the home finale against Wake Forest on Saturday, November 18 at 3:30 p.m. (ET).

Throughout the 2023 season, Peacock will be streaming every single Notre Dame broadcast on NBC (excluding their previously mentioned exclusive broadcast in mid-September).

As for NBC's other major college football package, the Peacock network (NBC and Peacock) is adding the Big Ten to their football lineup, beginning this fall. NBC is debuting "Big Ten Saturday Night" this September, which represents the first time that the Big Ten will have a dedicated weekly primetime game on broadcast television. Beginning in 2023, NBC Sports begins a seven-year relationship with the Big Ten Conference, featuring "Big Ten Saturday Night" as the centerpiece of that agreement.

"Big Ten Saturday Night" will debut on NBC and Peacock on Saturday, September 2 at 7:30 p.m. (ET), when Penn State - winners of last year's Rose Bowl - hosts West Virginia at Beaver Stadium for the 50th meeting between the two schools. In fact, this is the first matchup between these two programs since 1992. On the call for West Virginia-Penn State is the new "Big Ten Saturday Night" crew of Noah Eagle (play-by-play), Todd Blackledge (analyst) & Kathryn Tappen (sideline reporter). Eagle, Blackledge & Tappen will serve as the lead broadcast team for "Big Ten Saturday Night".

Earlier that day (Saturday, Sept. 2), NBC Sports presents their first-ever Big Ten game under this new package, as Michigan hosts East Carolina at "The Big House", exclusively on Peacock at 12 p.m. (ET).

Prior to "Big Ten Saturday Night" games, NBC will have a half-hour pregame show called "B1G College Countdown", debuting on Saturday, September 2 at 7 p.m. (ET) on NBC. Maria Taylor hosts the show, alongside analysts Joshua Perry, Matt Cassel, and Michael Robinson. Plus, Ahmed Fareed joins the cast as a co-host. The "B1G College Countdown" team will be on-site at the "Big Ten Saturday Night" game in addition to select Notre Dame games (for select weeks, the team will be at NBC Sports Group's studios in Stamford, Connecticut). For Notre Dame games, the pregame show will be referred to as "College Countdown".

Yeah I know, that's plenty of information to take in! But I'm ready to have a little bit more on my plate this fall.

Announcer assignments will be provided when they are announced.
