If you’re interested in the importance of this week’s FCS games, Jon’s annual preview of the final week of the FCS season is available over at Forgotten5.
The morning shift is pretty wretched. Of course, most of us will be watching K-State at Baylor, but the only other FBS game worth noting is Oklahoma State at TCU. Every other 11am FBS game features either a good team against a terrible team, or two bad teams.
For those who can multi-task and are interested in playoff football, however, the 11am window is a treasure trove. We’ve separated them out below, and we’ll caution you that many of the streams listed may be paid streams rather than free, but the post-season officially begins in Divisions II and III and the NAIA this morning. Before each division’s lineup, we’ll note some games of particular interest. (In the interest of fairness and accuracy, we have to warn you: it’s the first round, so a lot of today’s playoff games will probably be bad. It’s next week when things get really interesting.)
Noon brings us the rescheduled Florida-LSU game, which we’re sure will be a pleasant affair between teams that enjoy one another’s company. There’s more hot garbage at 1pm, which means you’re really not missing much during the Wildcat foray into Waco.
At 2:30, life takes a turn for the better. Washington State visits Colorado in a potential Pac-12 title game preview, and Western Michigan will try to run their record to 11-0 against a pedestrian Buffalo squad. Oh, and Virginia Tech will invade South Bend intent on ending Notre Dame’s bowl hopes once and for all.
If you were hoping the evening would improve, you’ve got disappointment. Oklahoma-West Virginia is really the only thing worth watching early. USC-UCLA is on late, and at least that’s a rivalry game.
In short, just like most years, this is not the greatest week of college football. Here, then, is your schedule. As always, it includes all FBS games plus all other games broadcast on nationally-available television networks and free streaming services.

But that’s not all. Here are the schedules for this week’s playoff games. Again, be aware that these streams may not all be free. Items of particular interest: in D-II, two teams in the top 11 are forced into a first round game due to the strength of the midwest. In D-III, a first-round contest pitting undefeated teams against one another as Monmouth visits Coe, as well as the absurd reality finally sinking in that Mount Union has to play on the road. And in the NAIA, three Kansas teams are in action — although two of them have to play one another.
