Miami quarterback Darian Mensah has an estimated $6.5 million NIL valuation and is among the Heisman Trophy favorites. But with star receiver Malachi Toney sidelined by an ankle injury, Mensah faces his biggest test yet Saturday against No. 11 Notre Dame, with Miami’s No. 1 ranking and the Fighting Irish’s CFP hopes hanging in the balance.

College Football’s Loaded Saturday Sets Up Huge Day for ABC, ESPN

The highly anticipated Week 10 slate marks the first time in nine years that seven matchups on the same day all feature both teams ranked in the top 25 of the College Football Playoff rankings. The biggest winners among the TV networks are the Disney-owned ABC and ESPN, which together will broadcast five of those games.
|
|
“It just sort of all came together perfectly,” ESPN senior director of programming and acquisitions Kurt Dargis tells Front Office Sports.
|
|
ESPN knew its platforms would likely have multiple strong Week 10 matchups from the time the SEC’s schedule came out in December. It then acquired the top pick for this week’s Big 12 matchups in its TV draft with Fox back in the spring—but wasn’t exactly counting on BYU-Utah having the relevance it does. “For it to turn out to be a top-10 matchup, I think that might have been a little bit of a stretch to think that we were going to get that,” Dargis says.
|
|
BYU-Utah was slotted into the noon ET window (which means a 10 a.m. local kickoff) last week, but it wasn’t put on ABC until after both teams won in Week 9. Had both or even either lost last weekend, Dargis says, then Texas-Missouri very likely could have gotten the prime network slot.

Meanwhile, Fox’s Big Noon Saturday window will feature undefeated UCLA looking to keep its position atop the Big Ten playing at Minnesota. FOS reporter David Rumsey breaks down Saturday’s slate.
