As families across the United States recover from their Thanksgiving feasts, college football enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the action-packed games that unfold on the gridiron. Notably, the NFL has this season come along in the tradition of hosting games on Black Friday.
With numerous games expected to take place on Black Friday this year, let’s look at the exciting schedule available to fans today.
TCU vs. Oklahoma

This is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated matchups on Black Friday this year. While Oklahoma looks to have missed out on the College Football Playoff, a win in this matchup secures the Sooner New Year’s Six bowl game. TCU, on the other hand, needs a win to be bowl-eligible.
Iowa vs. Nebraska

Time: Noon
This is another game that will garner the attention of many college football fans. Iowa has already secured a place in the Big Ten championship game, waiting to play either Ohio State or Michigan. However, the matchup is a must-win for Nebraska to qualify for a bowl game.
Miami vs. Boston College
Network: ABC, FuboTV

It's senior day at Boston College, providing ample motivation for the Eagles to give their best effort. On the Miami side, the Hurricanes primarily play for pride, and a loss would be seen as an awful outcome. Both teams have nothing to lose in this Atlantic Coast Conference matchup.
Missouri vs. Arkansas
Network: CBS, FuboTV

Following an impressive season that has seen the program record nine wins, Missouri plays for a berth in the New Year's Six bowl game. Arkansas, on the other hand, has nothing to play for after a disappointing 2023.
Texas Tech vs. Texas
Network: CBS

This is a game where both teams will seek a win, as this could be the last-ever meeting between the two in-state rivals. Texas is hopeful of a spot in the College Football Playoff, while Texas Tech is ready to do the spoiler and claim the bragging rights.
