College football scores, games, updates: Utah at Colorado, Clemson at Pittsburgh and more
We’ve hit the home stretch of the 2024 college football regular season.
There are just three weeks to go before conference championship week in the first week of December. Week 12 isn’t the most loaded slate, but it does feature two games between ranked opponents and games all over the country that have implications in conference title races.
Here’s what we’re watching closest in Week 13. (Scroll down to follow the action live.)
Time: Noon ET | TV: Fox | Line: Colorado -11.5 | Total: 46.5
The Buffs’ path to the playoff is clear. Colorado will get a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff if it wins its final four games. Its defense should be up to the task of slowing down the depleted Utah offense. Though Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter get a lot of Colorado’s headlines, their defensive improvement is the biggest reason why they are in Big 12 contention.
Time: 4:15 p.m. ET | TV: SEC Network | Line: South Carolina -12.5 | Total: 44.5
Missouri QB Brady Cook is listed as doubtful for Saturday’s game and Drew Pyne is his replacement if he can’t go. South Carolina has won three straight games after its two-point loss to Alabama. Gamecocks QB LaNorris Sellers has accounted for five TDs and nearly 500 passing yards over the last two games and hasn’t thrown an interception.
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET | TV: NBC | Line: Oregon -14 | Total: 52.5
Is this the toughest game remaining on the Ducks’ regular-season schedule? We won’t get into tiebreakers here, but if Oregon wins Saturday night it will likely play the winner of next week’s game between Indiana and Ohio State in the Big Ten title game. Wisconsin enters the game on a two-game losing streak.
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET | TV: ABC | Line: Georgia -10.5 | Total: 48.5
Vols QB Nico Iamaleava is reportedly set to play after going through the concussion protocol earlier in the week. Georgia is out of the College Football Playoff mix with a loss; the Vols’ visit on Saturday night gave the committee an easy out with its placement of the Bulldogs on Tuesday.
Time: 10:15 p.m. ET | TV: ESPN | Line: BYU -3 | Total: 56.5
Your eyes aren’t fooling you. The undefeated top-10 BYU Cougars are favored by just a field goal at home against a team that has a losing record. Overall, four of BYU’s nine wins have come by a single possession and Kansas just took down Iowa State in Week 11.

SALT LAKE CITY — A California man in Utah, as part of his duties with the National Guard, is accused of trying to solicit sex from a young teenager.
Joshua Ruben Rodriguez, 29, of Fresno, was charged Tuesday in 3rd District Court with attempted rape of a child, a first-degree felony, and enticement of a minor, a second-degree felony.
The investigation began when an agent with the Utah State Bureau of Investigation posed as a 13-year-old girl on a “popular social media site … in an attempt to locate and apprehend adults attempting to have sexual contact with children,” according to charging documents.
On April 16, Rodriguez sent the agent a message — believing he was talking to a teen girl — that stated, “I’ll be direct with you, I would like to get to know you and (have sex with) your mind into a daze to where you feel like a woman,” according to charging documents.
When the “girl” asked if he had a problem with her age, Rodriguez replied, “I don’t have a problem with your age,” the charges state.
The agent told Rodriguez to meet at an apartment complex in Salt Lake County where the girl lived, claiming her mother would be gone. When Rodriguez arrived, he was taken into custody, the charges state.
“(Rodriguez) does not have ties to Utah. He is a resident of Fresno, California. (He) was in town as part of his military service with the California National Guard,” prosecutors stated in charging documents while requesting he be held without bail pending trial.

Upon arrival, crews put out the car fire and found the driver had left the scene. A single occupant, who was able to get out of the car on their own, was transported to the hospital by a Beaver Dam ambulance.

SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz missed out on the NBA Playoffs, but still scored a big win thanks to a coin flip.
In Monday’s tiebreaker coin flip to determine who had the fourth-worst record in the league last season, the Jazz came out winners over the Sacramento Kings, who had the same 22-60 record.
Had the Jazz lost the coin flip, they would have been fifth in NBA Draft Lottery odds. Only the worst four teams are guaranteed to remain within the top eight of the lottery.
If Utah had fallen to fifth, there would have been the chance they could have dropped out of the top 8 teams in the lottery, and owed the draft pick to Oklahoma City, which was top-8 protected in a previous trade.
The Jazz now have an 11.5 percent chance to win the first overall pick in the NBA Draft Lottery, which is scheduled for Sunday, May 10.
