STAMFORD, Conn. – Oct. 2, 2024 – The No. 10 Michigan Wolverines (4-1) visit the Washington Huskies (3-2) in a rematch of the 2024 CFP National Championship game this Saturday, Oct. 5, on Big Ten Saturday Night at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.

Big Ten Saturday Night, 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock: No. 10 Michigan at Washington
This week’s Big Ten Saturday Night matchup features the No. 10 Michigan Wolverines (4-1) visiting the Washington Huskies (3-2) at 7:30 p.m. ET from Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium in Seattle, Wash. Pregame coverage begins with Big Ten College Countdown at 7 p.m. ET.
Saturday’s game is a rematch of the 2024 CFP National Championship game last January, when Michigan defeated Washington, 34-13, to win the 12th national title in school history. The game pitted 2024 NFL first round quarterbacks J.J. McCarthy (Michigan) and Michael Penix Jr. (Washington) against one another, and was Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh’s last game on the sidelines for the Wolverines. Harbaugh is now head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Wolverines defeated Minnesota, 27-24, last week behind running back Kalel Mullings’ 111 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Tight end Colston Loveland added 41 receiving yards on four receptions in the win. Mullings, who has 100-plus rushing yards and two touchdowns in three consecutive games, currently ranks eighth in the FBS with 540 rushing yards.
The Huskies look to bounce back after falling to Rutgers, 21-18, last week. Quarterback Will Rogers threw for 306 yards and two touchdowns, while running back Jonah Coleman added 148 yards on the ground. Wide receiver Denzel Boston hauled in six receptions for 125 yards and two touchdowns in the contest.
Michigan at Washington will be called by Noah Eagle (play-by-play), Todd Blackledge (analyst), and Kathryn Tappen (sidelines). Three-time Super Bowl referee Terry McAulay serves as the rules analyst.

Next Saturday, Oct. 12, No. 3 Ohio State takes on No. 6 Oregon in a primetime matchup of title contenders from Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Ore., at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. The Ducks are led by Heisman candidate quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who leads Division I in completion percentage (81.5%), while the Buckeyes’ potent offense, featuring running back Quinshon Judkins and wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, ranks in the top five in yards per game (534.8) and points per game (48.8).
Oregon hosts Michigan State this Friday while Ohio State hosts Iowa on Saturday, as the two teams look to remain undefeated heading into next week’s showdown, which doubly serves as a rematch of the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship in 2015, which the Buckeyes won, 42-20.
Kicking off coverage next Saturday, the No. 14 Notre Dame Fighting Irish host Stanford in the 38th all-time meeting of the longstanding rivalry at 3:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
