Best College Football Games Today on TV | Week 10 2025

Watch Vanderbilt vs. Texas | ABC

Why you should watch: Vanderbilt’s underdog-to-playoff-contender story is old hat at this point. But with a month left in the regular season, the degree to which Vandy’s scouting bets have paid off remains impressive:

• The Commodores’ offense ranks seventh nationally with 7.2 yards gained per play.
• Quarterback Diego Pavia ranks 20th nationally in quarterback rating with a solid 68.8% completion percentage and 15 passing touchdowns against five picks.
• By the advanced stats, Vandy’s also a top-20 squad per FPI and SP+.

But if the Commodores want to lock down a playoff berth, they’ll need to take down a streaky Texas team in Austin this week. The Longhorns are coming off a 45–38 win against Mississippi State that was Arch Manning’s best game of the season. However, Manning suffered a concussion during overtime, and his availability is pending.

The Longhorns’ elite rush defense can slow down Vanderbilt’s ground game, but Pavia and tight end Eli Stowers should find space against a winnable Texas secondary. Assuming Manning plays, the Longhorns will need a consistent performance from him and better offensive line play to keep their long-shot SEC hopes alive.

Watch Texas Tech vs. Kansas State | FOX

Why you should watch: Give a thought for Raider fans who didn’t spring for refundable Big 12 title game reservations. Texas Tech is currently behind BYU, Cincinnati, and Houston in the conference standings, and just lost backup quarterback Will Hammond for the season.

Starter Behren Morton returns this week, and he’ll be sorely needed ahead of a crucial two-game stretch for the Raiders. This week, they’ll play a resurgent Kansas State team that just beat the brakes off a decent Kansas squad in a 42–17 win.

Watch UTEP vs. Kennesaw State | ESPNU
Watch Marshall vs. Coastal Carolina | ESPN2

Why you should watch: Week 10’s weekday slate is anchored by strong matchups over in the Sun Belt and Conference USA.

The 5–2 Kennesaw State Owls rounded into form in their second year in FBS play. They are currently sitting atop the conference standings thanks to a stout defense that ranks fifth in C-USA. As for Marshall and Coastal Carolina, both squads are right behind James Madison in the Sun Belt East and need a win to stay in the conference title race.

Watch Washington State vs. Oregon State | CBS

Why you should watch: Thanks to Pac-12-related scheduling hijinks, this week kicks off an in-season home-and-home for the Beavers and Cougars: they’ll play this week in Corvallis and end the year in Pullman.

Among the Pac-12 2.0’s members, 4–4 Washington State’s had a better go of it so far: they notched a solid win against San Diego State alongside close losses to Ole Miss and Virginia. By comparison, 1–7 Oregon State needed the second half to pull away from Lafayette (Patriot League, Not The Louisiana One) last week to get their first win.

Watch Oklahoma vs. Tennessee | ABC
Watch Mississippi State vs. Arkansas | SEC Network

Why you should watch: Oklahoma outperformed expectations to start the year, but they’re reeling in the back chunk of the season. Quarterback John Mateer hasn’t looked the same since returning from injury against Texas, as he hit season lows in yardage against South Carolina and Ole Miss. Oklahoma’s defense has to hold off a tough Tennessee offense if the Sooners want to stay alive in the SEC race.

On the other side of the standings, Arkansas and Mississippi State extended their Cursed One-Possession SEC Losing Streaks for another week. The Bulldogs are sitting at a 16-game conference losing streak, while the Razorbacks have only dropped their last seven SEC games. On the upside? One team legally has to win this week! (At least you’re not Kentucky?)
