Here is your guide on how you can watch a ton of college football games.
(Updated September 8th 2016.)
Step #1: ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC
In 2016 over 100 college football games will be aired free over the air on ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC. Over 90% of Americans have access to some or all of these channels.
If you have the option, an antenna is always the best way to watch college football to avoid the delay or the risk of the stream crashing out.
