    Week 12 in college football is going to further seperate the pack. Here are the games Buckeye fans need to have their eyes on.

    The biggest news for college football fans all across the nation this weekend dropped late on Friday night.

    Before a star-studded weekend, the executives at ESPN and YouTubeTV were able to hammer out a deal to get ESPN and the family of Disney Networks back onto the streaming service.

    YouTube TV users everywhere rejoiced as Saturday in college football has the potential to be one of those days fans will remember for ages. The later that we get into November, the more of critical these football games are, especially for the playoff implications.

    The Ohio State Buckeyes have their eyes set on controlling their own destiny. All they need to do is keep winning, and they will roll into the playoffs in the top spot. 

    But, there will be so much shakeup on Saturday, and here is the viewing guide for Buckeyes fans before they kick off at 7:30.

    No. 22 Pittsburgh vs. No. 9 Notre Dame - 12:00PM

    Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi made headlines this week by publicly saying that this game doesn't matter. The direct quote that he made was "they could beat us 103 or 110-10 and it wouldn't matter." 

    In theory, he is correct, but it is still a good opportunity to prove their worth in the grand scheme of the college football landscape. Pitt is playing good football, and they are the last major test on the Irish's schedule.

    If Notre Dame secures a win, it will solidify themselves as a playoff team. If they slip up or even fall, the question mark will continue to grow. As the bracket sits right now, the Irish will be competing to play the Buckeyes in the second round of the playoffs.

    Northwestern vs. No. 18 Michigan

    It is officially time to start dialing in on the team up north.

    We are just a couple of short weeks away from getting to the playoffs, and the one game before that is the game against the Michigan Wolverines. Ohio State is looking to avenge the recent stretch of Michigan's success. It is never too early to begin scouting your opponents, and now is the right time for Buckeyes fans to get an idea of what we are facing in a couple of weeks.

    No. 17 USC vs. No. 21 Iowa - 3:30 PM

    This contest will be a must-watch on Saturday mid-afternoon, as the Iowa Hawkeyes head west for the rare matchup against the USC Trojans.

    Not only are the Hawkeyes prepared, but the nasty, midwestern, Big Ten weather is following right along. It will be a cold, rainy day in Southern California for this pseudo-playoff game. The winner of this one stays alive, the loser's season is all but over.

    No. 4 Alabama vs. No. 11 Oklahoma

    Another big-time matchup in Tuscaloosa on Saturday.

    The Oklahoma Sooners pay the Alabama Crimson Tide a visit on Saturday for a top-11 matchup that will send shockwaves through the playoffs. If Oklahoma squeaks out a win, their heart will still be beating. On the flip side, if Alabama wins, it knocks Oklahoma out and keeps the Crimson Tide rolling.

    There are several more good ones, including the nightcap that is Texas vs. Georgia, which has turned into a playoff game, too. 

    Tons of good football and a reminder to enjoy every second!
