2024-2025 College Football Week 8 Betting Online
Week 8 college football betting features one of the top matchups of the season, as the No. 1 Texas Longhorns host the No. 4 Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday night on ABC. Week 8 college football begins on Tuesday, October 15 with three games and continues with action on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Friday night has some intriguing games including an interesting ACC matchup of the Duke Blue Devils hosting the Florida State Seminoles. Duke is coming off consecutive bowl seasons, a rare feat for the Blue Devils but head coach Mike Elko was plucked by Texas A&M and Manny Diaz has taken over as head coach. Previously, Diaz was unsuccessful as the head man of Miami-FL, and Duke will provide a much tougher gig. Duke will face a Florida State team that is perhaps the biggest disappointment this season in all of college football. Also taking place on Friday it is Oregon at Purdue on FOX and Oklahoma State at BYU on ESPN.
Top matchups from the SEC are not to be missed on Saturday and will have championship implications. The biggest game of the week and one of the biggest of the season, has top-ranked Texas hosting Georgia. Also taking place in Week 8 in the SEC it is the Tennessee Volunteers hosting the Alabama Crimson Tide. Other key matchups for Saturday have Nebraska at Indiana on FOX, Michigan at Illinois on CBS and LSU at Arkansas on ESPN.
Let’s look at the Week 8 college football schedule and spotlight Georgia at Texas, Alabama at Tennessee and Michigan at Illinois.
