How to watch today's Duke Blue Devils vs. Florida Seminoles football game: Livestream options, kickoff time
Duke Blue Devils football head coach Mike Elko confirms "there's a chance" starting quarterback Riley Leonard will play Week 8 when the Blue Devils face the Florida State Seminoles in an epic Top 20 matchup. Duke's starting QB was out last week against NC State, with an ankle injury sidelining him.
FSU will be put to the test this week when the Blue Devils head to town. The No. 4 Seminoles have beaten tough opponents in LSU and Clemson this season, but No. 16 Duke comes into Week 8 with just one loss (to Notre Dame). The Seminoles are favored to win, but those odds go down if Leonard suits up.
The Blue Devils have never beat the Seminoles. This is a primetime game between two Top 20 teams, an ACC Week 8 showdown. We can hear Leonard shouting "put me in coach!" from here.

But for many homes, a digital TV antenna provides a seriously inexpensive way to watch college football without paying a staggering monthly fee. ndoor TV antennas can also provide some much-needed TV backup if a storm knocks out your cable (or your cable company gets in a squabble with a network).

This antenna delivered that for us right out of the box."

The Georgia Bulldogs want to make history: The Bulldogs struck gold last season when they won back-to-back national championships when they beat the Alabama Crimson Tide 33-18 in 2022. Since 1936, no college team has won three-in-a-row. The Bulldogs are hoping to change all that. Head coach Kirby Smart has focused on leadership skills for his players, stating the team's biggest opponent is "complacency." Coming into Week 8, the Bulldogs are undefeated. Three-peat? Anything's possible with this squad.
Football fans can't get enough of the Colorado Buffaloes: Coach Prime made headlines during the offseason. Only ten scholarship players from the Buffaloes' 2022-season roster remain on the team after Sanders took advantage of transfer portal rules to revamp the team's roster. Prime's in his first season as the Buffaloes coach and he'll hope to work the same magic on the Buffaloes program as he did in his successful three years at Jackson State. 4-3 coming into Week 8 after a disastrous 46-43 loss to Stanford last week, the Buffaloes have been criticized for having too much swagger. If anyone remembers Sanders' NFL and MLB careers, one knows you can never have too much swagger. This is the team to watch this season, winning or losing.
How will all the college football shake ups shake out? In July 2022, UCLA and USC finally agreed on something. The frenemy rivals would both leave the Pac-12 in favor of the Big Ten in 2024. This summer, Colorado announced it would return to the Big 12. Since then, Arizona, Arizona State and Utah have announced an exodus from the Pac-12 to the Big-12 at the end of the 2023 season. Washington and Oregon State are also ditching the Pac-12 for the Big 10 at the same time.
The school shuffling won't affect the 2023 season much, but expect journalists to talk about it to no end. With the Pac-12 currently down to just four teams for the 2024 season, the demise of the Pac-12 is sure to be one of the biggest stories of the season.
The Alabama Crimson Tide came into the 2023 season ranked No. 4. Saban and company aren't comfortable with the demotion. Still not the dominant Bama team fans have come to rely on, the Tide are hoping to be a major threat to the Bulldogs scoring that three-peat. Ohio State has arguably one of the best receiver rooms in college football led by the dazzling Marvin Harrison Jr. The Buckeyes are coming into Week 8 undefeated, just one win over the 6-1 Crimson Tide.
